Not hard to believe considering the fact that he's a laughing stock in this country too.
European diplomats reportedly consider Trump a 'laughing stock' who is 'obsessed with Obama'
Foreign diplomats hold a less-than-flattering view of President Donald Trump, according to a BuzzFeed report published on Wednesday.
Top-ranking European officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told BuzzFeed that their chief concerns were Trump's unpredictable Twitter use and his erratic behavior.
Among other things, they also described the president as "something of a laughing stock" at international gatherings. As one official described it to BuzzFeed, diplomats consider his vocabulary to be limited to so few words and phrases that they play a type of "word bingo" whenever he speaks.
"Everything is 'great'; 'very, very great', 'amazing'," one diplomat told BuzzFeed.
Trump's distinctive speaking style has been widely imitated, most notably by actor Alec Baldwin, who often parodies the president on NBC's "Saturday Night Live."
While mimicking Trump, Baldwin often incorporates words the president favors into his routines, like "tremendous," "amazing," and "incredible."
The diplomats' views of Trump reflect the opinions of European citizens, 79% of whom said in a Pew Research Center poll released in June that they have "no confidence" in the new US president.
European diplomats also told BuzzFeed that they think Trump's foreign policy doctrine is driven primarily "an obsession" with undoing former President Barack Obama's initiatives.
"It's his only real position," one official said. "He will ask: 'Did Obama approve this?' And if the answer is affirmative, he will say: 'We don't.'"
The official added: "He won't even want to listen to the arguments or have a debate. He is obsessed with Obama."
Trump frequently attacked Obama even before he ran for president, but his criticisms of his predecessor significantly ramped up during the 2016 election, when Obama supported Trump's opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton.
Though Trump briefly paid Obama respect when the two met during the transition period, he quickly reverted back to criticizing the former president after taking office, taking aim at key cornerstones of Obama's legacy like the Affordable Care Act and the landmark Paris climate agreement.
Trump has also levied personal attacks on Obama, most notably in March, when he accused Obama of ordering the wiretap of phones in Trump Tower, a claim experts immediately dismissed.

Yeah, that's a real legitimate news story. Thorough investigation, credible witnesses and resources, no preconceived bias or intent, accurate fact checking, what a complete crock of feces.
Just more fake news posted by the board's homosexual liberal snowflake.
And after the complete implosion of the Democrat Party in 2018 and 2020, they will still wonder why no one takes them seriously

Sounds like a good place for you to head to, Grasping.
Oh, and nobody cares what the brainwashed Europeans think. We are trying to avoid that fate. You've already succumbed.

LOL - I didn't write the story dumbass and anonymous sources are perfectly acceptable in the news as long as the writer knows who they are and that they are legitimate
that's why every paper in the existence of print media has quoted anonymous sources
what's not acceptable is simply making up quotes like Fox News appears to have done in the Seth Rich story

Gotta hand it to you Straw, your posts never disappoint 😂😂😂

Wish I could say the same about yours
Regarding anonymous or unnamed sources, anyone here can do a quick search of this board and see an abundance of stories critical of Obama Administration posted over the past 8 years that cited anonymous or unnamed sources
Funny how that used to be perfectly acceptable on this board

Anonymous sources swear that you're homosexual and far below average intelligence. Trusted getbig posters have stated on record that you and your boyfriend watched Hillary Clinton go down on Oprah Winfrey.

Oh, I dunno, he is a laughing stock, but the reality is so are most of them. They aren't looking at the bigger picture any smarter than he is.
He's a conman who is way in over his head, they are as well, but they've been in politics longer. That's all. It's like the moron making fun of the idiot.
