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, adjudicated rapist, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging, insurrectionist, running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban in Afghanistan 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.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
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 fucking mouth."

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America:
1. Break up corporate monopolies
2. Continue building union power
3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics
Let’s keep working to unrig the system.
BREAKING: Mike Johnson has just lost his ability to block a House vote on the next Epstein files bill.
A new discharge petition has officially reached 218 signatures, with EVERY House Democrat joining FOUR Republicans: Thomas Massie, Nancy Mace, Ralph Norman, and Brian Fitzpatrick.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act II would allow survivors, state attorneys general, and members of Congress to take the DOJ to COURT for unlawfully withholding Epstein records.
The American people deserve transparency. Epstein's survivors deserve answers. And nobody should be above accountability, regardless of how wealthy, powerful, or politically connected they are.
Johnson can no longer block the bill through the usual committee process, although procedural steps remain before a floor vote.
BREAKING: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan have issued a joint declaration accusing Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories of being the FUNDAMENTAL SOURCE of instability across the Middle East, demanding an independent Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with East Jerusalem as its capital.
Russia and the U.S reneged on their promise.
Ultimately, there will be consequences.
Trump will play the ‘ignorance card’ but there is no excuse.
This was negotiated and agreed by Bill Clinton…
Not buying this BS distraction. This administration is a DISASTER and costing my family thousands of dollars a year robbing us blind with high gas and grocery prices due to waging an illegal war and imposing illegal tariffs.
BREAKING: Donald Trump just announced that he is planning to sue to try and stop Alaska from certifying their election results should Mary Peltola win. He is laying the groundwork for delegitimizing the midterm elections because he knows he's losing. This has to be stopped.
BREAKING: In a powerful moment, James Talarico just exposed Elon Musk's effort to fund Ken Paxton's flailing campaign. Every American needs to see this. Let's make sure Elon cannot steal this election from us.
BREAKING: In a completely humiliating moment, CNN's Senior Data Analyst Harry Enten just broke down all of the polls (there's more than 1) where Donald Trump has hit historic lows in terms of approval. Every American should watch this and see how despised Trump is.
"MASSIVE NEW UPDATE: Nine US senators just demanded a federal probe into the Starshield slowdown.
The Telegraph says Musk pitched it, Trump approved it.
Elon is against us, and he has questions to answer — now, or before a Democratic Congress.
I know you want the truth. America First slid straight into Putin's DMs. Democrats are fighting for YOU.
And the subpoenas are coming."
MR. MUSK, RAISE YOUR RIGHT HAND.
