This Australian's reply to Trump's rant about “NATO not being there for America” is perfect.

"Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.

You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.

Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.

Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.

And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.

And you're calling Greenland poorly run?

Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.

'NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time. in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.

So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your f----- mouth."

It seems your reading skills are lacking. Nowhere did anyone in that post tell Trump how to run a country. They only pointed out how poorly run America is under Trump.

much of those complaints are about America generically. Our incarceration rates. homeless population. not having $400 in emergency funds, and so on

you are just a partisan dip shit

I see you didn't address the fact that no one in the post did what you originally claimed. You might want to stay away from calling names since it only highlights how little you seem to know.

Trump isn't fixing any of those problems but only creating new ones like starting wars and then losing them.

LMFAO.

This wasn't a post requiring deep geopolitical analysis. Some Australian went on a nationalistic rant. Good for him. I found it funny.

Most of his complaints are longstanding American problems, not anything unique to Trump. The NATO argument is the one that actually addresses a specific claim.

You're demanding a point-by-point policy rebuttal to a joke.

And lecturing me about reading comprehension while doing it.

hey retardo - where did I even mention Trump?

talk about reading comprehension fails

There you go again. Proving you lack reading comprehension. No one said how to run a country.

There you go. They are actual problems in America just like the person said. You don't get to claim they aren't problems because Trump hasn't addressed them.

You're demanding a point-by-point policy rebuttal to a joke.

I realize you are a joke but I never asked for a point-by-point rebuttal. I pointed out you lack reading comprehension since no one lectured anyone about how to run a country.

And lecturing me about reading comprehension while doing it.

Pointing out your continued lack of reading comprehension is not a lecture. It is a simple statement of fact.

When you respond to a post that directly addresses Trump, you are mentioning Trump. Unless of course you lack the reading comprehension to understand who the post you commented on was addressed to.

He literally opens with “You run a country...” and then spends the entire rant listing everything he thinks America is doing wrong.

That's a lecture about how poorly we're running our country.

Your defense is that he never provided explicit instructions on how to run it instead?

And you're lecturing ME about reading comprehension? LMFAO

 

[zymurgy]

When you respond to a post that directly addresses Trump, you are mentioning Trump. Unless of course you lack the reading comprehension to understand who the post you commented on was addressed to.

So responding to a post about Trump means I'm automatically making an argument about Trump, even when my response doesn't mention him?

I made a joke about an Australian lecturing Americans. You introduced the claim that Trump isn't fixing these problems.

You're arguing against something I never said, then calling it a reading comprehension failure. LMFAO.
