It’s almost as though at these gatherings of world leaders Trump becomes his most petulant, insecure and childish. It was his primary theme as a candidate whenever he discussed foreign affairs or international trade: China is laughing at us, Europe is laughing at us, the Taliban is laughing at us, OPEC is laughing at us, the world is laughing at us. “We don’t want other leaders and other countries laughing at us anymore, and they won’t be,” he said. ADYet now, there is literally not a single person on Earth who gets laughed at more than Donald Trump. ADWhen Trump said all those times before he became president that the world was laughing at America, he was wrong.
