Trump said foreign leaders wouldnt laugh at the U.S. Now theyre laughing at him.

Hey, Trump is providing comedy relief for world leaders.

Two weeks ago in the Rose Garden, President Trump declared that under his leadership, foreign leaders won’t be “laughing at us anymore.” Since then, he’s been the butt of jokes in capitals around the world.

In Mexico, former president Vicente Fox posted a profane video on YouTube, mocking Trump’s taste for taco bowls (“they’re not even Mexican!”) and border walls (“Mexico will not pay”) that has been viewed nearly half a million times.

In France, new President Emmanuel Macron unveiled a website titled “Make Our Planet Great Again” and invited U.S. scientists to move there, a week after Trump withdrew the United States from the Paris climate accord.

And in Australia, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, who sparred with Trump in a testy phone call in February, this week treated a black-tie gala to a snarky impersonation of “The Donald,” referring to the Russia investigation and employing the president’s famous catchphrases.

The World knows Trump is a Clown. Just another failing Reality TV Star headed to the Dust Bin of Failure.

There is no coming back from that. Bluff called. I guess we have to go through the Russian collusion investigations, emoluments litigation, blah blah blah. McConnell is going to try to jam that nasty healthcare bill in at the buzzer. But other than that, it's over. Loser Trump gets no respect.
