Acosta Mocks American Patriots, Claims Diplomats Think America Is Like 1930s Germany

In a video posted Saturday, failed former CNN correspondent-turned-leftist Substacker Jim Acosta mocked Americans who believe their fellow countrymen are the best people on planet Earth, insisted two top European diplomats have told him America in 2026 reminds them of 19030s Germany, and praised Canada for putting up with us even though we’re a “violent, fucked up country where everybody’s worried that they’re gonna get shot or killed.”

Acosta made the observations following a chat with University of Michigan economist Justin Wolfers about the U.S.-Canada trade war, starting with the supposed flex about his supposed influence inside The Swamp.

Acosta bragged he “like[s] to talk about on the show from time to time” how he’s invited to alcohol-fueled fancy parties at embassies and ambassador residencies (dubbed “diplomatic functions”), which he claims are proof that many of the best and kindest people in the world are non-Americans.

“[S]ome very lovely people, by the way. I mean, for all of you, ‘America First, America, America. I never leave the country because why would I leave the best country on earth and go to these other countries? And who are these people, these weird foreigners and stuff?’ Some of the loveliest people you could meet are outside of the borders of the United States and are living in places and in countries that we consider to be close friends of the United States, close friends of America,” he boasted.

It wouldn’t be entirely surprising at this point to mention that Acosta has spent most of his life in the Washington, D.C. area, so of course he thinks non-Americans are the coolest.

Acosta followed up with a tale he had apparently relayed in a previous show: “I was at a diplomatic function. I had an ambassador to one of our allies in Europe, come up to me and say, what’s happening right now, Jim, reminds me of Germany in the 1930s. And there was another ambassador from another U.S. ally standing next to this ambassador, and that ambassador nodded, yep, yep, and they were both saying the same thing.”

Acosta added that, despite all the left’s “memes, and talk about Donald Trump getting made fun of and stepping on a rake and acting like a fool on the world stage...it is having real-world consequences,” even though there have been some “witty retorts,” such as a meme insisting Trump should have chosen “Lake Epstein.”

He went back to the Gulf of America hubbub, whining it was “the dumbest thing, and I remember hearing people in legacy mainstream media, they were suddenly calling it the Gulf of America to kiss up to Donald Trump” in “the most grotesque, stupid bullshit that I had ever seen.”

The whiny pundit delivered a pants-on-fire lie claiming a sign of Trump as an “incredible-shrinking President” and “isolated” “on the world stage” because CIA Director John Ratcliffe flew to Russia last week to reportedly warn dictator Vladimir Putin to not attack a NATO country.

Fact-check: The Biden administration had its CIA Director (Bill Burns) do the same, begging Putin to not invade Ukraine. Spoiler alert: It didn’t work!

Fake News Jim’s final bit was an analogy that “Canadians have been good neighbors” akin to “that neighbor across the street in your community or maybe next door” willing to help whenever “[y]our car breaks down, your battery dies, and they come over with the jumper cables, or maybe your power goes out, they’ve got a generator,” or “the nice, elderly, senior citizen gentlemen who pulls up in front of your car on the side of the road and gets your car going again or helps you put the spare tire on.”

He gushed that Canadians have been those kinds of people to Americans even though we’re a “violent, fucked up country where everybody’s worried that they’re gonna get shot or killed.”

“Donald Trump is absolutely, completely shitting all over that friendship and relationship. He is completely shitting over the most invaluable friendship that we have anywhere in the world because they’re right on our border. Think about how lucky and how fortunate we are. Right on our border, that massive border,” he added.

Acosta even went personal: “It’s one of the best things that we have in this existence is a good friend who is always there for you. I have them in my life, and they’re — they’re invaluable to me, and that’s who the Canadians are to Americans, and we have completely and totally torched that at the hands of a mad lunatic and fool.”
