Trump’s problem is a diplomatic Tourette syndrome

[Nota del autor: no tengo intención de ofender a nadie. Si tienes Tourette y te sientes insultado, ahora sabes lo que se siente].

Imagine the scene: hundreds of kings, heads of state, presidents and vice presidents in silence in front of the Pope’s coffin; dignitaries, ambassadors. There must be even magicians and sorcerers. A bad gesture and the GDP of a country can collapse from one day to another. The atmosphere is tense because how a funeral was not going to be tense where almost no one knows the dead and attendees hate each other. The incense rises in slow spirals. Some cough breaks silence and there are those who look sideways at their intimate enemies as if praying hurt more than losing a war. The cameras of the main chains of the world focus hieratic faces, shining crowns, gala uniforms; The protocol is so rigid that a bad yawn could cost everything. Organ notes begin to sound; A serious, temperate voice, announces in Latin the beginning of the ceremony. Attendees stand up with a rumor of fabrics, togas and costumes. Everything is about to develop according to centuries of tradition. Everything, until Donald Trump advances towards the lectern.
