Jesus Christ. JUST SAY NO!!! You can't appease him, he's crazy as a loon. Haven't they learned that by now??? He wants another fucking ceremony!!! Don't give it to him. This is ridiculous. (Emphasis mine)

US President Donald Trump's proposed Board of Peace has got off to a rough start: questioned by Europe, criticized by Israel and celebrated by friends of the Kremlin.
France's Emmanuel Macron, for one, has come right out of the gate to decline an invitation that was also extended to strongmen such as Belarus's autocratic leader Alexander Lukashenko. Several liberal democracies are squirming, uncertain how to respond and not wanting to offend Trump.

And don't worry about offending him. You can't help BUT offend the lunatic. Just say no to this latest crazed idea from a demented, dying old man. And would someone in Davos do us all a favor and accelerate the process by slipping some strychnine in his diet coke? Please?! Trust me. The majority of Americans won't be mad. We'll thank you. Then we can round up all the ICE thugs and deport them to the middle of the Kalahari with only what they've got in their pockets. THAT will be fun to watch! REAL lions and leopards eating their faces and everything else. 
Hearing other world leaders doing the same is disheartening. FFS Someone stand up to him.
