Trump has turned the United States into a laughingstock

When he was running for president, Donald Trump repeatedly claimed that the world was laughing at the United States:

This wasn't true then, but it is true now. The world is laughing at Trump, and at us for electing him.

Europeans are laughing at him:

MAGA!

 

There is a new man in charge. The whole world has been spoiled. They need to grow up.

 

Uh, no. The world is dissing him. They do not consider him "in charge."

Trump -- liar, narcissist, ignoramus, emotional three-year-old -- is not going to be the guy to make that happen.

 

Foreign leftists agree with leftist raytri of the internet. What a shock!

 

Lol. Like they are so smart? Their countries are so backwards. They have nothing to laugh about.

 

The entire rest of the world is "leftist" in your view.

 

Ah, yes. Europe and Australia are "backwards."

 

"The entire rest of the world" doesn't agree with you, regardless of your own inflated sense of self-importance and relevance.

 

Their politicians don't even represent the people:

 

Actually, it pretty much does.

But then, you called Vladimir Putin, the British and Austrailian governments (both ruled by Conservatives), leftists.

So, what do you know?

 

They're letting their countries be over run by extremists. Yeah I'm sure Muslims are worried about softies like Macron and Merkel. If anyone should be laughing its us, but we have dumb people here who would allow that to happen; thankfully not enough this last election.

 

Thankfully you don't speak for the rest of the world, despite your own inflated sense of self-importance and relevance.

I don't recall calling Putin that, but that's funny that you think those Governments are being run by "conservatives". Maybe it just seems that way because of how far off in lefty land you are.

 

Probably, but the rest of the world are lesser nations. America is the only superpower on the planet, any country not attempting to elevate themselves to that level are simply stagnating or declining, but they are of no use to the US and should be ignored anyway...

 

I didn't say the entire world agreed with me. I said you consider the entire rest of the world "leftist."

Prove me wrong. List the countries you consider "not leftist."

 

Meh, just another episode of trump criticizes trump.

A joke-in-chief who feels threatened if he isn't the only clown in the circus lmao!!

 

No, the rest of the world speaks for itself. And it certainly doesn't think much of the sort of narrow minded parochialism that we see from the usual suspects on this thread.

 

Says the guy who cited the thread to CNN, Huffpuff, Wapo and Politicusa. Couldn't find anything from Mother Jones and The Nation? What a joke of a thread as usual from this OP. Did you knowingly try to post it to current events and it got moved here? That would make it an even bigger farce.

 

There are plenty of countries I don't consider to be leftist. Most Eastern European countries, Russia, Japan, most Arabic countries, etc. I'm aware many of these have things like universal healthcare, but that doesn't make them leftist, in my opinion. Leftist is what you are, and the things you advocate for. These countries aren't like that.

 

"The rest of the world speaks for itself", and then you immediately speak on behalf of the rest of the world.

Now that's progressive.

 

The United States doesn't need to worry about the European countries. It is up to the Europeans to figure things out for themselves. It's about time the U.S. started looking out for the U.S.

That said, I do feel sorry for people like the young lady in Super21's post. Some like her are beginning to recognize that there's a problem.

Countries in europe don't like President Trump? Well, that's their prerogative. Yes, we have treaty obligations. Other than that? We don't need to be the bestest of friends. Historically speaking, those in europe like having us around when the poop hits the fan; otherwise, they really don't want to bother with what we think. Not Trump's problem.

 

Thank you for the list.

So what makes me leftist, but them NOT leftist?

 

Sorry, duplicate posting...

 

Good thing hes not their president.

Uh ... nationalism and, what, apologizing for slavery(?) have nothing to do with "left" or "right". One can be "leftist" and still be nationalistic. One can be "rightist" and still think slavery was an abhorrent thing that has never been adequately addressed or apologized for.

You seem to define everything you don't like as "leftist", and everything you do like as "not leftist."
