    On the first day, Trump already embarrassed himself on the world stage. From being real-time fact checked and being told to get serious after joking about the release of ISIS fighters to being manipulated with psychology usually reserved for little kids into supporting the alliance he called obsolete.

    And it shows no sign of stopping. World leaders were caught on a hot mic apparently mocking Trump with Trudeau saying to Boris Johnson and Emmanuel Macron, ""He was late because he takes a 40-minute press conference off the top. You just watched his team's jaws drop to the floor."

    Trump has decided to up the ante by calling Trudeau "two-faced."

    Totally EXPECTED.

    Trump is a Worldwide LAUGHINGSTOCK.

    Trump gets NO Respect.

    Trump DESERVES NO RESPECT.

    Tragically, Trump's Election has made the USA a Worldwide Laughingstock.

    Is it really any surprise that Serious World Leaders would Mock an Unprepared, Immature, IMBECILE (like Trump)?

    Trump is too senile to run with the big dogs.

    Scrap NATO. Time for a new alliance. Let "the big dogs" pay for their own defense.

    And now Trump has gone home crying, back to the US, "mummy, all the other boys laugh at me".

    He's now on the flight home, days earlier than planned

    I knew Trump would run.. He was so "bored" anyway. He can't run with the big dogs. Ignorance and senility are a handicap.

    It was clear from reports our of London that the United States has lost its mojo. Trump was openly challenged in face to face conversations and press events. The world doesn't look to the U.S. for leadership while Trump is in office. NATO especially has no confidence the U.S. would honor Article 5 in case of a conflict. Macron made Trump look like a jackass when he brought up France's contribution to NATO.

    The highlight of Trump's international sojourn came right after Nancy Pelosi refused to respond to interviewers questions about Trump because she stated, "politics stops at the waters edge." After which Trump launched a scathing attack on Democrats and especially Adam Schiff. His uncontrolled rant about Schiff was shocking because Trump looked like a madman.

    I think we can lay to rest the idea that Trump is a respected individual on the world stage. End of story

    You don't seriously believe Trump is capable of creating an alliance, do you?

    If NATO was good for America Democrats would demand it be scrapped. The fact Democrats are NATO fans means being in NATO is bad for America and Americans. Just another way for oligarchs from Europe to access our treasury.

    Trump just defended NATO yesterday. So you believe that Trump hates America.

    NATO was good in it's time. Today it is not. Trump ran on making NATO allies pay their fair share. Depending on others for defences while skipping paying your fair share is just NATO allies doing what NATO allies do.

    This is f***ing unbelievable. You can bet Trump's busy little finger will go on tweet storm once aboard Air Force One. How did Americans fall for this incredible moron and put him in the White House. The whole world is waiting for voters or the judicial branch to throw this bum out of office.

    Not that Trump didn't have this coming. However, I believe that it should be beneath those world "leaders" to gossip like high school boys at a party. Not good for international relations. At least they didn't mention him by name, so deniability remains.

    It is funny, though, that Boris was in on it. Shouldn't he be Trump's friend?

    Just listening right now to the announcement on BBC Radio 5 live. It was initially said that Trump has cancelled the planned press conference due today but now saying that he is on way home. I'll look for a link

    The idea that America is dependent on others for defense shows you don't know how the world works. I rather countries like france beg us to help them then be obligated to by contract.

    If france needs our help against russia, we can send them blankets like Obama sent Ukraine when he was getting flexible with Putin.

    It is a sign of just how far Trump has dragged everyone around him, I think, that other world leaders would risk being caught on a hot mic mocking him.

    In regards to Boris, I think that mocking Trump is more likely to help him, than hurt, in the UK
