I'm sure you have come across similar expats.

There's a photo of a number of world leaders who are huddled together looki ng over their shoulders with big smiles on their faces and clearly talking about Trump who had just made some grandiose announcement.
But why shouldn't the rest of the world laugh at him? Let's face it, we on ly elected him for comic relief. The electoral college got together in the corner of the round room and decided it would be a huge hoot to put him in office just to see what would happen. They figured he couldn't do any rea l damage. He was just an actor on a reality TV show. It's not like he was a former film star or anything.
Now Slim Pickens, I'd vote for him any day! Just not for President. Actor s don't automatically make for good Presidents.

I guess some of us are accustomed to being laughed at.
Unfortunately the world is not our oyster. We have to cooperate and have t he cooperation of other countries to get what we want and to do what we nee d. When they are laughing at us, they are dealing with us at arms length. Kinda the way we have dealt with North Korea all this time. We even made a puppet movie with him in it.
Even before he was dead he didn't get much cooperation from the rest of the world.

During the American Revolution, most continentals were dismissive of the colonials. There were little ditties like
Yankee Doodle went to town A-Riding on a pony Stuck a feather in his cap And called it macaroni
The revoution's chances seemed slim.
France, however, had taken an interest in the electrical researches of Ben Franklin, and he had a well-received visit (what we'd call a lecture tour) in that country. Accordingly, the revolutionary effort later had assistance of a small French fleet at Yorktown.
Being taken seriously does matter. Even if it's by foreigners you've never met.
Narcissists like to be the center of attention, and here we are discussing him so mission accomplished, I guess.
What exact mental process leads to that overwhelming urge or what leads to any particular set of provocative attention-getting statements I don't profess to understand and I would guess is a matter of debate among psychologists as well.
One has to be a bit of an egomanaic to even get out of bed every morning the same as the previous, I guess. Or at least part optimist.
The best explanation I have heard is that a pathological narcissist in the Freudian model of id, ego, superego actually has a damaged "ego" functionality. The ego in the Freudian model is the reality-picture integration center. He must solicit attention because he cannot generate a somewhat accurate picture of reality internally, the pilot has a broken windscreen and is flying on instruments (second-hand information) only.
Nope.

that the United States of America is the stupidest country on the planet a nd we are most likely going to be shamed into leaving.
countries whispering about the many things Donald Trump has said to them pr ivately. But now Trump has said something that even the stupidest of the s tupid know it would be too stupid to allow them to live.
. Yep, that's drinking the Formula 409. Going down on Mr. Clean. Loving the the Lysol. Pumping the Pine-sol. Shooting up with Clorox.
uthority, now and ever. That includes the first President of Troglodonia, Zog. Zog was a fair, but stupid leader. When he thought he was doing the right thing he often was actually hurting his countrymen more than not. Bu t mostly those who voted for him supported his policy of stone wall buildin g at the river which separated Troglodonia from the adjacent country Neande rstan. He campaigned on the promise of making Neanderstand pay for the way . Unfortunately Neanderstan was happy to do so since the wall was built on the Troglodonian side resulting in severe consequences for the inhabitants .
under the kitchen sink. Maybe Trump saw some cleaner stored on an upper s helf next to his Captain Crunch and it gave him an idea.
o be kicked off at the next vote.
What *REALLY* gets me is that people (his followers? stooges?) don't have e nough gray matter to understand that a lot of what Trump says is *COMPLETEL Y WRONG* and *YET* they stand by him and don't call him out. (WHY??) Doesn' t anybody THINK anymore??? Some facts are immutable. Surely 35% of the ppl in this country can't be THAT stupid! Is our form of government that dysfu nctional?
He goes to a rally in AZ tomorrow - can't wait to hear what comes out of hi s cantaloupe head...(Actually, I won't waste the energy to listen..)
He's achieved his stated aim to make America grate.
