A sense of relief over ‘dear Joe’ and post-Trump summit era
The Associated Press ^ | June 15, 2021 | By JONATHAN LEMIRE and CALVIN WOODWARD

BRUSSELS (AP) — Over the four years of Donald Trump’s presidency and through the seeming eternity of pandemic misery and isolation, America’s partners in world affairs were waiting to exhale.

As they cycled through Group of Seven, NATO and European Union summits over the last week, exhale they did, between bites of haggis mousse, pineapple weed and Dover sole.

President Joe Biden — “dear Joe” to the European Commission’s chief — engaged fellow world leaders in hours of small talk, hours of large talk, fist bumps, clumsy elbow bumps, a beach barbecue overlooking the moody British seascape, “family photos” and public displays of conviviality bordering on giddiness.

There was palpable relief to have moved on from what German Chancellor Angela Merkel once called Trump’s “sobering and a bit depressing” summit behavior.

“Mr. President, dear Joe, we are so pleased to welcome you in Brussels,” Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, told him Tuesday. “Indeed, the last four years have not been easy.”

On Monday, Italian Premier Mario Draghi was explicit in blaming Trump for weakening fundamental alliances. “Note that President Biden’s first visit is to Europe,” he said, “and try to remember where President Trump’s first visit was.” It was to Saudi Arabia.

“family photos”

If any of those came from Hunter's laptop, the G7 leaders should be charged with trafficking in kiddie porn.

Exactly. "Praise Dear Leader" is well past its sell-by date.

Of course they’re happy - Uncle Joe doesn’t do America first. He embraces their socialism and will export our tax dollars as long as The Big Guy gets his cut.

I am livid that these “world leaders” all have given SloJoe a pass to be completely incompetent, and to paint this picture for the American MSM that he is even valid as a figure to be POTUS.

Listening to the local news reporters this morning, talking about “Joe Biden said...” repeatedly about his Europe trip, I just got angry that everyone seems to be in a conspiracy to make him seem to be legitimate and capable.

Just to leave us deplorable FReeper types, to wonder why no one can see that he’s completely out of touch....

A delightful puff piece. It’s not journalism, though.

Of course, they've finally gotten their bitch back.

Oh, good, we’re back in the cool kids clique. We can do each other’s hair and nails. That other guy was strictly goth.

Trump was holding them accountable and demanding they pull their weight. Biden is like the parent who gives their kid a generous allowance, despite the fact that they are not doing their chores, getting failing grades at school and stealing money out of mom’s purse! Of course they are happy to have him!

I really loathe our mainstream press. Nothing but absolute propagandists.

You are right. This fawning coverage is really sickening. If only they could report facts and not opinions (or better yet not anything) they would not look so foolish.
