Trump's Big CON: He is a Joke, and The World is Laughing at Him and U.S.

UPDATE:  Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross spoke to this week’s Economic Council of the Christian Democratic Union meeting in Berlin by teleconference from Washington.

"Ross was allotted 10 minutes to speak. After he spoke for more than 20, the conference organizers cut his feed mid-sentence. The audience 'laughed and clapped' in response, according to Bloomberg News."

Read the Washington Post, Trump’s pledge to keep the world from laughing at us hits another setback.

"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.

'In the private conversations I’ve had with heads of states and ministers of foreign relations . . . they all feel what Turnbull just basically came out and said: This is, by far, the least capable person ever to sit in the office and it’s appalling they have to deal with him,' said Ian Bremmer, president of Eurasia Group, a global risk-assessment firm. 'Even in a country that really needs to have a good relationship with the United States, you’re just not willing to deal with it. Your own ego will say, 'Screw this guy.'?'

White House officials did not respond to a request for comment."

Read the Washington Post, Trump said foreign leaders wouldn’t laugh at the U.S. Now they’re laughing at him.
