'After four long years': World leaders congratulate Biden, take shots at Trump

LONDON — It was a sigh heard round the world

With almost palpable relief, longstanding American allies welcomed Joe Biden as he was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States on Wednesday. Some signaled hopes for a radical change in the White House, particularly in its approach to climate change and the coronavirus pandemic. And a few took parting shots at Donald Trump and his nationalist, "America first" agenda.

The European Union's top politician, Ursula von der Leyen, said that "after four long years, Europe has a friend in the White House."

Spain’s prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, meanwhile, said that Biden represented "victory of democracy over the ultra-right."

Aren't these people that "live off and rob us of the American dollar" supposed to get in line and apply the appropriate kisses where the 'Great Leader' requires? How are they ever going to learn who is "The Man?"

Funny thing is - foreign leaders are showing more support for the new administration that too many RepubliCons!
