In the main, the American media do not think highly of our current president.
This matters. Whether they admit it or not, their personal views shape their reportage. They regard him as a pretender to the throne, an accidental occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue who has done more to discredit his office than most any of his predecessors. In their eyes, he's a bombastic boor and a bumbler whose reckless disregard for the dignity of his office has cheapened the nation in the eyes of the world.
Not everyone holds that opinion. A goodly number of his supporters probably don't give a swivel-eyed tinker's dam, for example, about how he's seen in Europe. That's there and we're here. Yet in the world of statecraft, such things are important—which is why his just-concluded trip to the United Kingdom and France to mark the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings is so important.
From almost all accounts, Trump acquitted himself well. An early spat with London Mayor Sadiq Khan, which had Khan calling the president a "poster boy" for the far right and Trump calling the mayor "a stone-cold loser," evolved into nothingness. Likewise, the appearance from across the Atlantic of a giant, inflatable "Baby Trump"—thought by some to be an embarrassment to the American leader—ended up something of a fizzle, especially after a pro-Trump supporter poked it with a sharp object, apparently causing it to deflate temporarily.

I remember during the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal of 1998 and reading how all the foreign press admired Clinton and couldn't understand why anyone was going after him.
Well they made the mistake that WE would give a #### either way.
Anyone here that does hasn’t been paying any attention to Anything.
But it’s fun to see them write this for whatever reason they are.
Or did we become like 10 year olds, hoping or their approval?
I pray not.
#### all of them..
These idiots still don’t know who Trump is. Rush is right they are arrogant, stupid, condescending assholes (my word not his). He kicks them in the privates everytime they open their mouths. DJT rules these squirrels. MAGA
Hell, he ain’t even warmed up yet.
Mind your language, please; there are ladies present.
Sorry. Arses and Crotch. My bad.
Thank you.

No Trump has not grow into the role,the writer has finally realized what a true leader looks like.
A pretender to the throne. Everything old is new again. There was a Scott once called a pretender to the throne.
“No Trump has not grow into the role,the writer has finally realized what a true leader looks like.”
That’s one interpretation. Another is that the writer remains oblivious to the fact that the political class is pathetically incapable, and that people from outside of politics will almost always do a dramatically better job than those in politics.
