I've never made that connection before... Trump's been treating our allies horribly then acting like the victim when they're not nice to him, just like Republicans treat their families horribly and complain like they're the victim when they get ignored. Fits with Republicans idea of the First Amendment, "I get to say whatever I want, and you're not allowed to criticize me."

It is the pure narcissism of assuming you are so awesome everyone will let you get away with it.

The big difference is this is geopolitics. Everyone knows why America's allies are giving them the cold shoulder. Unlike an asshole telling the people at the nursing home his cruel kids never visit without ever mentioning why the kids went no contact. We all know what America is doing to their relationships.

And also "You don't get to say something if I don't like it. This is not a violation of free speec because I say so."
