Donald Trump threatened to block the construction project after a call with a billionaire buddy.

In a 1975 episode of the British sitcom Fawlty Towers meant to satirize the Britons who clung to anti-German sentiment decades after World War II, hotel owner Basil Fawlty, played by John Cleese, struggles and ultimately fails to conceal his lingering resentment from a group of German tourists as his repeated Freudian slips mentioning the war reduce a young woman to tears before he makes a Hitler mustache with his fingers and goose-steps through the lobby. The scene is one of the series's best-known; a reliable laugh-getter. More than a half-century later, President Donald Trump's near-obsession with setting fire to alliances that have served Western interests in good stead plays like an unfunny parody of Fawlty's comic preening.
Let's not get things twisted—even Donald Trump's worst offenses pale in comparison to Nazi crimes, and invoking the Holocaust to make political points is never acceptable. But the Fawlty Towers episode illustrates something that's keenly relevant today: When a nation breaks the world's trust, forgiveness does not come quickly or easily. That's a hard lesson that Americans, even the liberals and progressives who might absolve themselves of contributing to Trumpian misrule, will have to learn as we grapple with the damage Trump has done to our international standing only a year into his second term.
