Front row, from left: King Philippe of Belgium, President Trump, Croatian President Kalinda Grabar-Kitarovic and Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite at NATO headquarters in Brussels in May 2017. But they’re all supposed to share the idea that when you represent the United States of America, you represent the United States of America. There are times when it’s obvious Trump knows he’s lying, but when Trump says America is respected again, I don’t think it’s one of them. The truth, however, is that when Trump became president, America’s image in the world went in the toilet. No one understands better than Trump the power the president can have to shape America’s image in the world.
