Stephen Collins on Nostr: Trump demanding a role in choosing Iran's next leader is hubris on a wild scale. But ...

Trump demanding a role in choosing Iran's next leader is hubris on a wild scale. But nothing about him surprises anyone anymore, surely.

Imagine if our PM demanded a say in choosing the leader of some random country somewhere else where he wasn't a fan of the previous leader. He'd be laughed at.

But the rest of the world is still so afraid of the US that only a handful are willing to say Trump and the US are ridiculous. There needs to be more pointing and derisive laughing rather than carefully worded diplomatic non-speak.

The US is going to bring itself down, and pull a lot of the rest of us down with it. It's the #enshittification of an entire nation.
