How are EU liking a taste of your own medicine ?
President Trump has apparently hurt the feelings of the arrogant bastards at the European Union, by downgrading the status of the EU's "ambassador"
The best bit though, is that the US forgot to tell the "ambassador", and he only realised the fact when he wasn't being invited to official soiree's, and when instead of being amongst the first to be called to give his condolences on the passing of Bush, he was the very last one called.
Best news story of the day for me.
"The European Union's super-state aspirations have suffered a setback as Brussels realises its "ambassador" in Washington D.C. was downgraded without notice.
The EU has long sought the trappings of statehood, controlling its member-states' international trade policy and territorial fishing waters, establishing a body of EU law superior to national law and upheld by an EU court, acquiring (another) highly-paid President and High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security, and most recently setting out its long-term plans for a European military.
Its pride has been dealt a blow, however, by the realisation that the Donald Trump administration in the United States has downgraded its diplomatic status without notice - something it only realised when its so-called "ambassador" stopped being invited to certain important events."
"We don't exactly know when they did it, because they conveniently forgot to notify us," an EU official who is familiar with the matter told DW in an interview, "I can confirm that this has not been well received in Brussels,"
