congratulations conservatives in less than one year you have made the u.s. a more
isolated country than north korea.
even great britain, france and germany have turned their back on us.
i hope you are proud of what you have done to our country.

Reports of President Trump’s statements during an Oval Office meeting on Thursday were met with quick reactions worldwide. Here’s a look at how politicians, world leaders, media and late-night TV show hosts reacted to the news.

Trump’s ‘America First’ policy has isolated U.S. from world leaders

Thomas Friedman says “in nearly 30 years of covering United States foreign policy, I’ve never seen a president give up so much to so many for so little, starting with China and Israel.” He calls it “the art of the giveaway.”

Before the visit had even begun, the Economist magazine named Xi, not Trump, “The World’s Most Powerful Man.”
And it is Xi, not Trump, who has positioned himself as the defender of globalization and the climate.

In the "dance of great powers," it’s Xi who’s doing the tango and Trump who’s tapping his foot to the music, shunned by prospective partners.

Xi not only understands English but he has learned to use the rhetoric of global leadership and China is filling the void that Trump has left behind.

On his first day in office he ripped up the Trans-Pacific Partnership free trade deal, the biggest in history, binding 12 allies including Australia, Japan and Canada.

Trump has needlessly alienated the U.K., America’s closest ally by retweeting inflammatory anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant videos from a far-right group and then criticizing Prime Minister Theresa May. He also blasted London Mayor Sadiq Khan as the city was reeling from terrorist attacks.
His visit to Europe was not judged a success with the Financial Times calling it "crass" and "disastrous."

Trump unsettled NATO colleagues by declaring the alliance “obsolete” in January, only to roll back that judgment to “no longer obsolete” in April.

But it was enough for German Chancellor Angela Merkel to state bluntly “the times when we could rely fully on others are somewhat over; we Europeans must really take our fate into our own hands.”

Since the Second World War, the United States has been the security cornerstone of the West, but Trump broke with 70 years of tradition. He refused to reaffirm the alliance’s bedrock commitment to mutual defense, hectored other NATO leaders at length and elbowed aside Montenegro's prime minister.

His personal behavior has grated with many leaders. More worrying was the new president’s seeming contempt for core Western values. The world’s most powerful state was seen to be sabotaging the order it created.

I don't want Trump and the United States to be the defender of globalism and climate. Glad China is taking that ill conceived role on.
