Maddow: Trump embodied 'all of the worst stereotypes' of Americans during European trip

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow told late night host Seth Meyers President Trump acted like a stereotypical American tourist during his recent trip overseas to Europe.

"You were so good, though. When you described him as like every American tourist thing that anybody has ever done wrong anywhere in the world, he’s doing them all at once like that’s exactly what he was," Maddow said. "When you described him that way, I was like, that’s what he’s doing. He’s embodying all of the worst stereotypes that everybody in the world has about dumb Americans. And he’s living them large."

"Yeah, well you can tell [European leaders] look at him and they’re not saying,''Uh, I’ve met a guy like this before.' They’re like, 'I’ve met a guy like this before, but it was 100 different guys,'" Meyers said.

Every American loves a winner. We strive to win.  Participation trophies are for losers.  Every American despises a loser.   Maddow is a loser.

But Obama didn't?

I guess a matter of opinion.

Obama?  A loser. Let me correct that,  He was worse than a loser.  He was sniveling loser and a POS.

There seems to be a belief system that leftists have that Europeans are our betters and their opinion matters more than any other opinion. This belief they have goes beyond the fact that Trump is president

They (Maddow, Meyers, and their ilk) have become so Euro-globalized that they don't even recognize what it means to be an American any longer.

Yes, it's a very pervasive belief system.  Even sometimes among American conservatives.   :shrug:

George Patton agrees.

I saw another poster bragging about believing that just today. Europeans are the fount of wisdom compared to us rubes.

 The United States and Great Britain are two countries separated by a common language.   Other that we really don't really have that much in common.  And rightfully so.

That's a whole bunch of vague accusations without citing a single specific bad act. What, exactly, did he do that was so offensive? Touch the queen or something?

Of course. Let's totally ignore that for every Ugly American, there is just as much Eurotrash.
