In the wild world of international politics, it’s pretty clear that former President Trump doesn’t exactly belong to the global popularity club. But honestly, the question popping up is, who actually cares what the so-called “international community” thinks of him anyway? The whole scene’s made up of a bunch of people from here, there, and everywhere, each carrying their own suitcase full of opinions, most of which are checked at the door of relevance. Just imagine a world where they’d have neither the bellboys nor the elevators if it weren’t for the white folks they so gleefully criticize. It’s not rude if it’s a fact; it’s called history, folks.

Meanwhile, back in the land of all things ironic, where white liberal women march down streets crying colonialism is the villain of the past, Africa’s warming up to the idea of bygone eras. Some Africans are reportedly hoping for a return of the good old days when colonialists brought their bows, arrows, and British manners. Color them surprised—they’d take colonial Europeans over present-day remedies from other powers like China. Hotels in Africa are putting up signs to maintain peace, and it might as well hint at keeping the past alive, albeit with a pinch of modern sensitivity.

Over in Canada—oh, Canada—politicians are busy playing dress-up like kids raiding the costume trunk. It seems they believe sporting half-hearted replicas of native attire will win hearts and votes in the diverse world. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t. It’s like Pierre Polyv dressing up in a partial turban probably doesn’t make any Indian throw up their hands in gleeful recognition. Who thought politicians dressing as pirates, to impress cultures steeped in rich tradition and complexity, was a good idea? Maybe it’s time to hang up the old costumes and realize substance speaks louder than the sequins.

Let’s not forget the funhouse mirror that is modern comedy. Enter Ben Banankis, the comedian who’s leaving no sacred cow unsatirized, crafting what’s now dubbed as “anti-woke” routines. Back in the day, folks would simply call it comedy without needing the disclaimers. Making light of political and social airs is almost a public service at this point. He’s growing in popularity like a wildfire because people are starved for humor that ripples with cracks at the nonsensical.

So, while the world plays musical chairs with their grievances about Trump and political outfits, let’s keep the laughs rolling and remember that hypocrisy was tailor-made for satire. The international community can feast on their own uneasiness about this or that leader, but as for us, we’ve got front-row seats to a comedic ride — because, at the end of the day, a chuckle stands resiliently undefeated.
