'Demagoguery 101'
On Twitter, many international observers reacted with shock to Trump's speech, with some drawing parallels between it and foreign strongmen.
Gary Kasparov, former World Chess Champion turned dissident Russian politician, said "I've heard this sort of speech a lot in the last 15 years and trust me, it doesn't sound any better in Russian."

Jorge Guajardo, former Mexican ambassador to China, said "sorry U.S. The world is looking tonight and you, you ain't looking good."
Mexico has long been a target of Trump's ire, and he used his speech to repeat calls to "build a wall" on the southern border of the U.S.
Other foreign policy experts were unimpressed by Trump's blaming of the Obama administration, and Hillary Clinton specifically, for the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Syria, pointing out that the group predates 2009, when Obama assumed office.
