It's the classic Germany-France joke, but modified:
A German was on a trip to Poland.
He reached passport control and the officer asked:
"Name?"
"Hans Kleiner"
"Age?"
"31"
"Occupation?"
"No no, just visiting"

Well, It's complicated. He's from old-school neoliberal party and is by a lot od people viewed as a absolutne liar. We elected him, because other dominating party was sliding straight into authoritarian rΓ©gime, so he was a lesser evil.
Man why can't the rest of the world get on this level. The fact that he appeared on TV without a tie would get him mocked in the US because ties make you important or something?

It's lightened up in recent years: https://www.npr.org/2024/04/01/1241984004/ties-necktie-biden-obama-clinton-presidents-fashion
Funniest thing about that "controversy" is that Obama was wearing a suit almost identical to one worn by President Reagan. So unpresidential!
To be fair, it seems like the state of Reagans pants is due to a combination of high winds and thin fabric.
To be equally fair, though, Reagan was still one of history's greatest monsters and if hell existed he'd be a high ranking official there now.

I do laugh that itβs been long enough and relations are good enough they can joke about that.

Meanwhile, Polish politicians will demand WW2 reparations from Germany every time an election's coming up.

For real. Boris Johnson was always up for a laugh, and a bit of harmless fun, which is why we elected him. He was the absolute best thing to happen to England, and the wake of destruction he left behind still leaves many of us breathless.
Is Tusk similar to Boris? I mean, obviously Boris presided over Brexit which was a real fuck-up. Then again, was Brexit really Boris's fault? What with the referendum, democracy and all that good stuff. It seems to me that the people of the UK made their own bed in that regard.
Boris literally just made up stories about the horrors of the EU when he was a journalist in Brussels:

He definitely helped set the stage for Brexit.

His crimes:
- https://edition.cnn.com/2022/07/06/uk/boris-johnson-scandals-intl/index.html (various scandals)
- https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-56319927 (literally giving public money to his friends during a crisis)
Who he is:
- https://reaction.life/jeremy-vine-my-boris-story/ ("shark" vs "sheep" story)
He pretends to be a lovable harmless buffoon, but he is actually a severely corrupt well-connected man who knows how to win public opinion. Such men are dangerous.
