I'm an American and I'm already fed up with Trump's bullshit attempts at 
bullying everyone worldwide — and of his idiot claims about the U.S.'s 
superiority. (Latest claim is that the U.S. did most of the heavy fighting 
in WWII ("by far the bravest"), while 27 million Russians died in that war. 
If Trump's hyperinflated ego was a brain, he'd be an Einstein on steroids. 
Unfortunately his ego is made up of hot air and bullshit. And, like an 
oscillating fan, he changes direction about every five seconds.

I know in the big scheme of things his attempt at unilaterally renaming the 
the Gulf of Mexico, the "Gulf of America" is small potatoes next to his 
other, more dangerous, stupidity, but it does highlight the idiot's ego. Now 
he's "demanding" that both the Panama Canal and the Suez Canal allow U.S. 
ships free passage.

And, of course, I'm also fed up with California Woke bullcrap, but right now 
I'm more worried about Trump's BS.
