GRASSADELLIA CITY -- Former Grassadellian President Brenton Menuhaeo is speaking increasingly publicly about his disdain for US President Donald Trump.
Menuhaeo, who left office in 2017 after serving two terms, took to the nation's largest newspaper Tuesday, penning an editorial lambasting Trump.
"There are few world leaders, certainly not in Western, democratic countries, who command such animosity and deserve it," Menuhaeo said in his editorial in The Grassadellia City Times.
Trump "makes America look bad," said Menuhaeo, but most Americans are "wonderful people who believe in equality, tolerance, and diversity."
Menuhaeo left office right as Trump was taking office in Washington, D.C.
The two men never worked together directly, but Menuhaeo's office did work with Trump's briefly after the US election, to ensure a continuation of strong bilateral relations during the transition period.
"My only interaction with him has been observing all of his egregious behavior and comments, like the rest of the world has been subjected to," said Menuhaeo.
The former Grassadellian president continued, accusing Trump of "appealing to the lowest form of politics" and "fanning the flames of fear."
Menuhaeo applauded his successor, Jim McCaren, for taking firm stances against Trump's controversial and temperamental policies.
"Grassadellia should be thankful that we have a president in Collester now who is standing strong on the world stage, who is representing our country with honor and decency. You may not agree with Jim McCaren or his policies, but no one can attack him for the way he represents our country. He does so with honor, integrity and a subtle humility."
McCaren rarely talks about Trump, usually only when he is forced to respond to one of Trump's tweet storms or provocative remarks.
"He basically avoids Donald Trump as much as possible," one Collester aide, who asked to remain anonymous because of media restrictions in the workplace, told the Times.
Collester released an official statement re-affirming US-Grass relations Tuesday, following the publication of Menuhaeo's op-ed.
"President Menuhaeo is entitled to his opinions and expressing them. But President Jim McCaren remains committed to a strong relationship between Grassadellia and our valued ally, the United States of America," the statement read.
