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.”
