The US is the laughingstock of the entire world at this point. Imagine Putin or Jinping watching this debate thinking this is the President of the US and the "leader of the free world". 
Now imagine your country's affordable energy in a pipeline that President Jellyhead blows up, and your leaders not only have nothing to say about it but they take his side and your taxes in a war his nation has caused.
Yes, the US is the laughingstock of the world. And Germany is the laughingstock's bitch.
