WASHINGTON (AP) — It was supposed to be his grand valedictory tour. Now President Barack Obama must use his last major trip abroad to try to calm shocked world leaders about the outcome of the U.S. election, and what comes next when Donald Trump is president.

Trump's unforeseen victory has triggered pangs of uncertainty at home and grave concerns around the world. Though Obama has urged unity and said the U.S. must root for Trump's success, his trip to Greece, Germany and Peru forces him to confront global concerns about the future of America's leadership.

Trump hits the ground running. Obama hits the ground apologizing again.

If I’m a world leader, I’m thinking this story is bass-ackwards. Obama is the one that gave everyone worry as he undermined US foreign policy at each and every turn.

Its easy. He can explain that America doesn’t want a pantywaist as president who the rest of the world can push around and laugh at anymore.

The arrogance continues. They have learned nothing. Which means we keep winning.

Obama needs to “find a way” to explain his complete failure.

Just send a note “United States if America, reopening soon under new management.”

It’s easy: We had an election and the people REJECTED Hillary and by association, Obama.

Easy to explain...

This could get interesting, if he “knocks” Trump on this tour, then all HELL is going to break loose back here. We are tired of his “dissing” the USA on these trips, “dissing” our new President Elect could cause some REAL riots, not these cupcake ones they are having now. We are TIRED of this man ‘mis-representing’ us.

Yeas, they may not like Trump, but they know he’s the future and Obola is the past.

All Obama has to do is to swing his Nobel Peace Prize medal in a hypnotic arc and say “The ogre you see is not the ogre I created in 8 years of failure!” Or perhaps he will revert to his most tied-and-true success mantra (it worked for years), “It is Bush’s fault!”

What a load of crap!

Those world leaders have been laughing at Obama for 8 years, between his apology tours and tee-ing off at the golf course. They have little interest in anything Obama might have to say.

No need for “like” when “respect” is needed.

Obama got neither, of course, no matter how much he cozied up to his overseas ideological brethren.

No comments allowed on the AP site? Wonder why.

Why? It's not like they listen to anything he says.

Exactly. How many world leaders want to align themselves with this lame duck left wing loser?

To another point, explaining Trump is easy. The American people are tired of corruption and lecturing and PC BS. They responded positively to a successful man who shared with them the very truth that they have known within their own hearts.
