Never in my life have I seen such insanity 😮

[ulsnxpr]

Humiliating other leaders and countries does not make the United States "great again, " quite the opposite.

[AJ-gcez]

He’s psychotic… America will have the worst crash and unrecoverable post tariffs

[vitaozolina]

America- you elected this? Is this normal for a country leader? How shameful.

[tjalatise]

What a pity, an American president talking like this, as if he is dramatized.

[alexeyshembakov]

As a foreigner, I have been watching with horror for many years now how America can`t choose a worthy president from among 340 mln of its citizens

[juancarlosvaladez]

Congress better take control, and send Trump to El Salvadore.

From an American: no one blames you. The fact that we not only elected Trump, but that half our country remains fanatically devoted to him, speaks volumes about how far our culture has fallen. We’ve become a nation addicted to reality shows, trash TV, fast food, and shallow entertainment. We live to work and consume—buying things we don’t need, with no real value placed on self-cultivation, growth, or learning.

We’re spoiled. We’re ignorant. And Trump is just a reflection of that—loud, hollow, and self-obsessed. I’m disgusted and ashamed. I don’t even want to ask for forgiveness from our Asian and European brothers and sisters. We haven’t earned it. We don’t deserve it.

As Europeans, we're not asking Trump to make a deal, we just make fun of him in the newspapers. I just wanted to share this so you know what people outside your country think... because I believe you no longer have free press in the USA.

[pelasion]

He’s just vile. I’m so upset by what’s happening.

[ThomasGrnlundThomsen]

What a clown. Playing golf while his contry and the rest of the world is fighting an economic war - shame on you

[Momula]

I'll believe it when we actually see changes. This guy is so full of himself.

[nw]

Have you ever see a President of the US Talk like THIS??? 😮

[Arotheadrian]

He negotiates so effectively that he has been bankrupted six times.

[imk]

The first US president without a mask.
