Well said, yet some are too blind to see it. Coming from a communist country I saw it first hand. Many always told me that no way can the Castro can't do no wrong syndrome happen in America. Well this is exactly what it was like with Castro.

1. Attacked and destroyed the press as the enemy
2. Cuba for Cubans we must pass laws to protect Cuban workers and jobs controlled by those outside the country.
3. Destroy political opponents and have the masses attack them as the enemy.
4. Castro is never wrong and if something is not going right, millions of excuses to blame it on others.

We aren't there yet, but I see the same signs of a dictator that can't handle any that disagree with him and the blind love of the masses that will excuse everything and attack any dissenters as the enemy.

It seems that President Trump is not well thought of by most world leaders and citizens of other nations. What are your thoughts?
Yes, the group picture from the G20 tells a lot. They put him at the end of the front row. That spot where you get cut off easy. A family joke being on an end is not a good thing.

By tradition longer serving members are placed in the center, newer members at the edges for the photo.


As to the OP, some leaders hate him or disliked him. I'm unconcerned. He was elected to be the leader of America not to be popular with the Leaders of the rest of the world.

Does Australia have more influence than news media here? The left has a blind obsession with skewering and 'taking down' our President. For no reason other than he's not Hillary and they hate that.

He certainly gives them a lot of material to work with, but that might be by design. It keeps them busy with the trivial.

I don't think he is viewed as an embarrassment even though the media tries hard to portray him as one. Admittedly he does help them somewhat in their endeavor.

So far I don't see where other countries can manipulate him. i think other world leaders know he is not so easy to manipulate.

How many of the "important" leaders in the middle can posters here name without looking them up?
