Trump's letter to Prime Minister of Norway. If Americans could read, they'd be really embarrassed right now.

What an absolute embarrassing time to be an American. I apologize to the world on behalf of America for this fucking lunatic.

I appreciate that you mean well, but apologies on behalf of America are just empty, worthless words. I know I have no use for it and can’t imagine who would.

I have nothing against you personally, and the fact that you’re not a Republican ghoul is already a lot to ask in today’s Trump’s America, but the rest of the world is well past caring about Americans futilely commenting about their sense of shame on the Internet.

I’m well past caring about the rest of the world tut-tutting and waiting for American wage slaves to solve an unprecedented global problem. If you’re not out in the streets demanding your government take proactive sanctions and tangible actions you are at least as culpable as any average US dissident who is risking a shit ton more than you. What’s your excuse?

Look at this fucking thread! Suddenly it “getting scary” because the demented old fuck wrote a grade-school level angry letter? It wasn’t scary before because the troops were aimed at internal opposition and third world countries? Give me a fucking break…

So it’s the wage slaves in other countries which must sort out your internal affairs instead?

One of my governments is already staunchly anti-Trump. The other one, hundreds of miles away, doesn’t listen to my region, which is why we have two governments in the first place. Am I to travel all the way from the north of Scotland to London because Americans can’t keep their house in order? Is the rest of the world meant to do similar?

Americans have loudly and proudly derided other countries for decades. Claiming they’re the best at everything, more freedom, more money, only country to have touched the moon, fuck yeah, than the rest of the world. The Land of the Brave. The Land of the Free. Freedom™. Freedom to carry weaponry on the off chance you have a tyrannical government that needs overthrown.

And yet we’re the ones being told off for getting annoyed that we all must suffer because of your internal politics?

Do you not think other parts of the world have their own struggles to deal with? Their own political campaigns for/against various things?

This is an American problem to be dealt with by Americans.

One of my governments is already staunchly anti-Trump.

Neat, what have they actually fucking done? They could freeze/sieze the assets of any of the fascists backing this regime at any time. They could issue arrest warrants for any of these republican congressmen doing their fascist world tours. They could shut down access to captured American social media platforms. Are they doing any of that? Because they could sign a piece of paper and have those checked off by tomorrow.

Am I to travel all the way from the north of Scotland to London

😂😂😂😂😂 It’s 40 hours minimum for the 4 million people in Los Angeles to reach Washington DC. Or are Americans supposed to get a critical mass of opposition to the Capitol on commercial flights; just checking their torches and pitchforks before takeoff?

But a ten hour trip to London is too much? Couldn’t be bothered to take a weekend flight and spend <$150 to make a physical display of your displeasure?

Americans have loudly and proudly…

Beautiful straw man you’ve got there. Too bad the 90% of the country that doesn’t watch fox news hasn’t held anything close to those opinions for 30+ years. You can just look this shit up, we live in 2026.

And yet we’re the ones being told off for getting annoyed that we all must suffer because of your internal politics?

And yet I’m the one who has to untangle the decades of hyper-dependence your milquetoast neolib governments have built up around a crumbling USA? I don’t have more pressing concerns? I should put the physical safety and wellbeing of my local community aside because it’s becoming concerning for you?

This is an American problem to be dealt with by Americans.

If it was you wouldn’t be replying

New poll shows what Americans think of America, and it’s not great

The POLITICO Poll found more Americans say the country’s best times are behind than ahead.

Politico

No wonder your country is fucked.

The arrogant, self obsessed, cultural and historical ignorance is astounding.

I try not to prejudge or stereotype people but Americans make it really fucking difficult sometimes. Y’all so often think other people of the world have never interacted with any of you before. That we’ve not grown up with your culture shoved into our faces along with our own. That we’ve not witnessed your politics, both foreign and domestic, as much as you have.

We’ve witnessed your atrocities, we’ve seen your population do nothing. We’ve seen your obsession with money, power, guns, and greed. Not every American, obviously, but enough of you that as a nation that is what you are known for. We’ve seen your multiple wars. We’ve seen your complicity in genocide. We’ve seen your population at large do fuck all. We’ve seen the slow and painfully obvious descent into fascism and your population at large continuing about their day as if nothing is wrong.

We all have issues. Many country’s issues are even caused by your country. Many country’s issues are worse than yours. Why would we deal with yours before our own?

This is internal American politics. Unless you want to be invaded, this is an American problem for Americans to deal with.

Is it shit? Absofuckinglutely. But life is shit for many around the world. America has been largely insulated from that, and now that you’re experiencing it firsthand you expect the world to come running? Good fucking luck.

You’re one hundred percent free to take that position, but it’s not arrogance when half this thread is Europeans looking down their nose as if they have any fucking clue what’s happening in the USA today. Spare me the lectures if it’s an internal problem.

I don’t want to read a single comment panicking over a Trump tweet or letter. I don’t want any more debates with EU commenters pretending they know the US constitution, laws, election process, or insitutional corruption better than I do. I don’t want to hear from anyone who’s reading headlines from halfway around the world and dismissing my experiences (“just do something”). I don’t wanna hear shit from any armchair revolutionaries living in countries where the police can’t even carry pepper spray.

If you all can’t agree to do that then see my original comment: fuck off and take your own political initiative. Maybe you’ll start to understand why this isn’t some inconvenient internal problem when the largest military in the world is blockading your ports and kidnapping your leaders. “Good fucking luck”

Maybe you shouldn’t come into a community called FuckTheUSA then…
apologizing is useless, organize, fight ICE in the streets, get into local politics and make sure no liberals democat gets into any position, only actual progressives with balls.
