Obama makes one last international appeal for the policies, war-making, and economic destruction that have made him so popular and beloved among psychopathic elites the world over.
"We certainly expect that the election will be the primary topic on people's minds everywhere we go," deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes told reporters, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The president will travel to Athens on Monday, then to Berlin on Wednesday and finally Lima, Peru, on Friday. He's expected to return to Washington, DC, on Sunday.
In addition to meeting Greek and German leaders, Obama will meet with President Francois Hollande of France, President Mariano Rajoy of Spain, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi of Italy and Prime Minister Theresa May of the United Kingdom.
"In a moment of deep shock and depression in Europe — the US was not supposed to elect Donald Trump — this visit has become a kind of group therapy by which European leaders will try to reassure themselves that the America we know won't disappear," Josef Joffe, a Stanford University scholar, told the Journal.
In Greece, Obama is scheduled to give a speech about globalization and the rise of populism.
"And that will include, frankly, acknowledgment of our election results, the Brexit election results," Rhodes said.
The trip, scheduled before this month's presidential election, was supposed to be a celebratory world tour for Obama, but has now transformed into something quite different.
Comment: Yes: A repudiation and condemnation of Obama's entire presidency by the only people who count: US citizens.
"President Obama will be speaking for himself and for the office of the presidency," Rhodes told reporters.
"He can convey, obviously, that the United States of America fulfills its commitments through democratic transitions and through different administrations," he added.
just stay where you're at, wherever that may be, provided they aren't already rioting because you are there. We don't need any more liars and warmongering stooges here. Write back home and we will ship those to you as soon as possible. Which makes me ask; Why isn't John McCain with you?
