Donald Trump vs. Teddy Roosevelt...
Hot from the "That's what she said!" department:
http://www.salon.com/2017/08/04/the-opposite-of-teddy-roosevelt-donald-trumps-leaked-transcripts-have-made-him-an-international-laughingstock/
The fallout from leaked transcripts of Donald Trump’s phone calls from two world leaders — Australia and Mexico — hasn’t just been limited to New Hampshire, which the president described as a “drug-infested den.” Internationally, diplomats saw the transcripts.
And they laughed.
“He’s the opposite of Teddy Roosevelt,” a former Mexican diplomat told one of the country’s top foreign policy experts, according to McClatchy. “He speaks loudly and carries a small stick.”
Speaking with McClatchy, the Mexican foreign policy sage, Jorge Guajardo, said that there was a lot of bad news for the president, whose diplomatic approaches have been questionable from the start.
