.................

Japan's embassy declined to comment.

The Indian and South Korean embassies did not respond to requests for comment.

A spokesperson for the Mexican government would not confirm any private complaints The foreign officials have been particularly disturbed by the anti-Muslim themes that the billionaire real estate mogul has pushed, according to the U.S. officials.

“European diplomats are constantly asking about Trump's rise with disbelief and, now, growing panic," said a senior NATO official, speaking on condition of anonymity.

"The responses have ranged from amusement to befuddlement to curiosity," the official said. "In some cases, we've heard expressions of alarm, but those have been more in response to the anti-immigrant and anti-refugee sentiment as well as the general sense of xenophobia.”

Asked whether China was concerned about Trump's proposal to place high tariffs on Chinese goods, Hua Chunyin, China's foreign ministry spokeswoman.declined to comment on specific candidates.

No surprise here. Three of Japan's prime ministers commented on at least one occasion each that America's downfall could be laid at the feet of its 'minorities' and specifically mentioned negroes.

I believe that, along with America's repulsive left and 'moderates' (who stand for nothing), that foreign governments feel that Trump might just make noises like a Conservative leader and reassert America's greatness....to some degree. Obama has beaten this nation up so many times in the world's podium that it will be a difficult task.
