It was noted by Bob Woodward in # Fear: Trump in the White House that Trump wanted to isolate the US from all other nations the way an abusive spouse isolates their partner to control them.
Or, for a state level example, how North Korea operates.
You know, that one country Trump was extremely impressed by and jealous of the Kims’ power.
Well, it is reflecting reality isnt it? The only country that is an ally now is Israel.
trump: I did this!
Kinda looks like they are displaying beach umbrellas
They’re the same picture
The flags are all made in China so they are displaying 200 Chinese flags
In spite of this, the US government does not actually have meaningful diplomatic relations with the American people.
The beatings will continue until morale improves
They don’t care about morale
Me, myself and I.
That there. That’s the sign of an upcoming dictatorship. You can all see that yes?
“Upcoming?”
I hate my country so much right now.
Oh your country hasn’t existed in almost two years, bro.
Two years? It hasn’t really been ‘America’ since the 70s.
Reagan pushed America under the water and each successive president has held it there. People need to realize Clinton and Obama were heavily Heritage Foundation influenced corporate democrats.
Even the American flag is pushing it.
Gonna play devil’s advocate here and say this is probably just for the 250th anniversary and it will go back to normal next year. This is probably ragebait.
Edit: OP is a bot. Why did I even waste my time.
The Deputy Secretary of State originally implied that was why, but now they’re steering into it, according to the NYT:
Eventually, the State Department’s top public affairs official, Dylan Johnson, chimed in with the department’s response to the flap.
“In no other foreign ministry or state department in the world do they display the flags of hundreds of other countries in place of their own,” he wrote on social media. “This is the United States Department of State — not the World Department of State.”
I am surprised they didn’t put up 200 Flags of trumps face.
Na, that will be on the outside of the building
This is such an embarrassment to this country, but regarding this administration, I’m not at all surprised.
In many senses of the word; the USA only has diplomatic relations with itself
only has diplomatic relations with itself
Only has diplomatic relations with corporations and billionaires.
Seriously. I’m surprised it’s not a bunch of corporate logos on those flags.
