Non-Americans won’t get to vote for or against Donald Trump this November, but unlike most Americans, they can vote (with their wallets) on what comes out of his mouth.

Trump will give the biggest speech of his young political career Thursday night, on the fourth and final day of what has been a highly entertaining (for all the wrong reasons) Republican National Convention, less a political rally than an epic shitshow of dysfunctionality.

Monday began with RNC officials denying the Never Trump holdouts their right to put their dissent on the public record, thereby ensuring a much greater story than if the party brass had simply let the dead-enders engage in their movement’s pointless symbolism.

Ditto with Monday’s Michelle Obama-plagiarizing speech by Trump’s ex-model wife Melania, a fiasco that the Trump campaign could have nipped in the bud within the hour by throwing an unknown speechwriter under the bus. Instead, they spent 48 hours denying that water is wet, only changing course when they realized that most (but probably not all) of Trump’s supporters had indoor plumbing.
