      Displays of wealth like this are so tacky. And from someone whose role is tax payer funded, it’s egregious

    2. Why does a US ambassador have a super yacht? And are we, the taxpayers, paying for the fuel and other costs of it?

      Billionaire pulls up in Venice on his super yacht to say “Hey y’all from ‘Merica!”

      Wait a minute, we have a US ambassador riding on a super yacht as part of a diplomacy tour? How tacky

    5. Isn’t Venice already fragile from the numbers of giant cruise ships docking there and stressing the canal system?

      No country will ever respect us or even want to be our allies after this administration

    7. It’s an entire government full of James Bond level supervillains, and each is somehow worse than the next.

      Dude wants to sail around the world in his yacht and manages to get paid for it. You’d have to respect the grift if it wasn’t so infuriating.
