I am looking forward to Trump's trip

It's like gawking at a car accident. Or waiting for the man with the knife to jump out at you during a scary movie.

What will happen? There is no way in hell he won't fuck up. The potential is amazingly horrific.

I'll sit on my couch, peering out from the pillow on my lap when I check the news.

2. So am I. I know it's sick, but I am expecting this perverse thrill from watching

him fuck up completely. I expect it might be like being a tornado watcher. You don't want anyone to get hurt, but you still relish the thrill of victimless destruction. That is, the only victim would be Trump himself.

He's in over his head here at home and now he'll be spotlighted on the international stage.

Will he do it first in Saudi Arabia? Will he say something inappropriate in Israel? When the Pope talks about social justice, will Trump correct him? Will he pout while others talk in Europe? Will he brag about his electoral victory. The world is laughing at us. Britain is pretty funny too, but we are pathetic.

something diplomatically disastrous - probably more than once - and embarrass us before the world. At minimum people will be snickering at the classless, clueless, American oaf - but i don't think we'll get off that lucky. He's going to do or say something truly disastrous. I WISH he'd find a reason to stay home.
