I'm sure he will be summarily cancelled in short order.

Yeah, I just saw that too. He didn't make the title apparently, and just proves you can't take anything at face value anymore. His points still stand though

Not a democrat, also a video from last summer.

That being said, I often wonder if it's related to the classic negotiation technique where you include silly requirements or exaggerate what you want, so that the end result of the negotiation ends up where you want to it be. Sending these funds to those countries for sure seems outright stupid.

Spot on.

There was an episode of "I Love Lucy" where Lucy asks Ricky for $50 to go shopping. Ricky goes off on her with some Spanglish tirade in front of Fred and Ethel. Ricky and Fred exit stage left feeling superior after Ricky gives Lucy 20 bucks. Ethel asks Lucy why she's smiling. Lucy responds, I only wanted $20, but if I'd asked for that, I would have only gotten $10.

I hate to be That Guy™, but no part of the Americas was ever included in the Roman Empire.

France, yes. Rome, no.

Ever been to Saint-Martin? The French got tired of being cold, and did go somewhere else. And produced some mighty fine cuisine.
