In the olden days, kings and queens used to appoint a funny man to entertain them in the court. They were called the ‘Court Jesters’. These people were highly skilled in many crafts. The court jesters earned their salary by doing things a common man would not be able to do. They would act in weird manner to evoke laughter in the court. They would make funny faces. The funnier, the better.

They would jump and roll and dance and croon to entertain the royal members. That is why court jesters were very popular with the royal couples and their companions.

Here we are talking about a self-employed incorrigible Court Jester in the far west who often dances on stage in a weird style, pumping his fists in the air, making dance moves that no one ever saw before. He enjoys being a clown as his dumbass supporters clap in frenzy. While entertaining his home crowd, he in fact, entertains the whole world. He often mimics retarded people, people with disability and he mimics even past presidents including some from his own country in a tasteless, often vulgar manner.

This court jester is obsessed with the dream of winning a major war so he could brag about it till his dying day. He also dreams of negotiating peace deals between warring nations – a big war or a border conflict – to claim the Nobel Peace Prize. But he forgets that after the WWII, his country did not win any major war. The Vietnam War is better forgotten. But the trauma remains.

He attacked Iran with the hope that Iran would come running to his feet and he would show the world that he had forced Iran to a peace deal – now give me the Nobel Peace Prize! But nothing of the sort happened. I am afraid, if he is not given one soon enough, he might invade Sweden and snatch a statuette of Nobel Prize. The world and the Nobel committee should try to understand the terrible mental agony that this man is going through every day. All his life he got what he desired, by hook or by crook, so he must have this prize.

It is being said that some big and small statues built for him will make him happy for a while. We have also heard that his face will be printed in some passports and official documents to make him happy. Anything that keeps him quiet.

But his acts of buffoonery every time he is around late Queen Elizabeth and the present King of England King Charles and Queen Camellia beats everything else.  The clips are hilarious indeed.

It is being discussed that every time he meets the British Royalty he becomes naughty like an adolescent boy. In fact, the worst in him comes out in the presence of British Royalty. Psychologists say that by doing awkward things he tries to undermine the importance of the Royalty.

Last time he was in London, he brushed aside Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain and lurched forward like a delinquent lad, not caring for any protocol or diplomatic nicety. In fact, his dictionary does not have the word ‘diplomacy’.

Last month also he brushed aside King Charles and Queen Camellia and shook the hands of his own administrative officials whom he meets every day. He was supposed to introduce them to the couple only.

In his speech, in a most clumsy manner he told the Royal guests that if not for America whole Europe would be speaking German now (referring to WWII). King Charles immediately retorted in a composed manner, if not for Great Britain, Americans would be speaking French now (Referring to pre-independence days when France occupied a large US territory.)

This man has been at loggerheads with NATO leaders since the start of the Gaza massacre and the recent Iran attack.

French President Emmanuel Macron has criticised him for inconsistent, “unrealistic” policies regarding NATO and the Iran war. He calls for greater European strategic autonomy.

Recently, Macron openly disapproved his approach to the conflict in Iran. When he asked all NATO members to join him in a military operation to secure the Strait of Hormuz, Macron labeled it “unrealistic” and dangerous. Macron also warned that his rhetoric and contradictory comments are damaging confidence among the NATO alliance.

Some days back British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he is “fed up” with the people in the UK encountering economic instability due to the actions of this man in Iran.

The UK Prime Minister said the Iran war must serve as a warning for Britain to “build resilience” at home and with allies in Europe.

His relations with Italy are also strained now. Italian PM Giorgia Meloni has distanced herself from him over his proposed troop withdrawals from Italy. Once considered allies, their relationship has strained over his attacks on Pope Leo, his Iran war strategies, and his “America First” policy impacting European security.

The Court Jester has done it with Germany too. He has been threatening to gradually reduce US troop presence in Germany. He accused Berlin of failing to support him during the Iran conflict and warned that allies unwilling to stand with him could face consequences.
