In reply to the discussion: Trump suggests Harris would struggle with world leaders based on her appearance [View all]tanyev
(44,928 posts)14. Dec 2019: A brief history of world leaders laughing at Trump
It was a key talking point during President Trumps 2016 campaign, and even before it: The idea that other countries were laughing at the United States. The world is laughing at us, he said in May 2016. Theyre laughing at us, at our stupidity, he said of Mexico in his campaign launch speech. He used the phrase laughing at us more than 50 times between 2011 and his election as president. Trump, the argument went, was going to make it stop.
Instead, Trump has been the object of repeated jest and even mockery by fellow world leaders. And its been caught on tape again.
The most recent example came Tuesday, when the leaders of Canada, France, Holland and the United Kingdom seemed to be recounting Trumps lengthy and occasionally wild interactions with reporters earlier in the day.
Even more world leaders appeared to join in mocking Trump last year during his speech at the United Nations. Trump made one of his characteristically hyperbolic claims about his achievements as president In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country and drew audible laughter.

Amplifying the GOP evil messages is exactly what Kamala is doing as an effective campaign strategy.

How does he say I'm a racist and a misogynist without coming right out and saying it?
