I am telling you these countries are calling us up - kissing my ass. They are dying to make a deal.

Exactly — it’s never been about policy or outcomes with Trump. It’s about ego, dominance, and theater. That quote isn’t about diplomacy; it’s about humiliation. He wants to be worshipped, not respected. And if the cost is alienating our allies, distorting trade policy, or putting global stability at risk — so be it, as long as he feels like the alpha in the room.

It’s transactional narcissism masquerading as leadership. Real diplomacy is built on mutual respect, long-term strategy, and coalition building. What he’s doing is play-acting power, treating geopolitics like a reality show ratings stunt. Meanwhile, American credibility suffers.

You nailed it: he’s not strong — he’s desperate to be seen as strong. And that insecurity is now U.S. foreign policy.
