"In less than a year, President Donald Trump has drained many of the most important sources of American power. He is unwinding the country’s alliances, degrading its principles, walling off its economy, and subverting international institutions that serve its interests."

Trump Is Demolishing Four Pillars of American Power

By rejecting the lessons of the previous century, the president has undermined America’s advantage over China and Russia.

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

Exactly.
It's called "dictator style".
Putin has the same.

The 91-y-old Nigerian writer + Nobel Prize laureate in Literature, Wole Soyinka, has just lost his permanent resident status in the US.
The reason?
He had compared Donald Trump to the dictator Idi Amin Dada, calling him both grotesque and bloodthirsty.

He was right! He is being punished for it.🤬

Le Prix Nobel de littérature et écrivain nigérian de 91 ans, Wole Soyinka, vient de perdre son statut de résident permanent des États-Unis. Motif? Il avait comparé Donald Trump au dictateur Idi Amin Dada pour son caractère à la fois grotesque et sanguinaire...

Jusqu’à présent résident permanent aux États-Unis, le Nobel de littérature Wole Soyinka voit son visa résilié

L’écrivain de 91 ans, qui avait comparé Donald Trump au dictateur Idi Amin Dada, a choisi de plaisanter sur sa situation en se déclarant «très satisfait» de la décision de l’administration américaine.

"Mr. Waltz, this is the United Nations General Assembly,” the Cuban Foreign Minister said, cutting off Mike Waltz. “It is not a Signal chat. Nor is it the House of Representatives,” he added, also calling Waltz’s remarks “uncivilized, crude and gross.”
