A 79 year old rapist felon con man and his social media account: "It reads like third world level political theatre"

From a European perspective, this is genuinely embarrassing.
A Team USA athlete, Hunter Hess, has apparently criticised the United States while abroad, and the response being celebrated in the headline is not a calm rebuttal or a dignified clarification, but a president publicly going after him in a punishing, performative way. Even the wording, eviscerates, signals the point is humiliation, not leadership. It frames the country like a reality show where loyalty tests and public shaming are treated as governance.
You would have to search far and wide to find a country that manages to look this ugly in its politics and public behaviour, and a president who so perfectly mirrors it. In most democracies, a leader would rise above it, defend the countrys values without acting personally wounded, and avoid turning a citizen into a national punching bag. This is not strength and the MAGA regime drags the entire countrys reputation down. AGAIN!!
It reads like third world level political theatre
