Do you think world leaders are really helping Trump?

I don't. Why would they?

Trump UNSTABLE, UNRELIABELE AND UNTRUTHFUL.

i think most are smiling, saying whatever they think they have to say. But they are looking at him like Brutus looked at Ceasar as the story goes.

This is both bad for us, but perhaps one of the things that will help finish his reign of error. Or terror.

Macron, Merz, Starmer, Lula da Silva, Sheinbaum Pardo, and Carney? Or do you mean like Putin, Netanyahu, bin Salman? Because all of these leaders are not the same. Even if they all laugh privately at the same joke (Trump), some laugh with a sick feeling in the pit of their stomach and some laugh with relish, thinking about their increased personal power.

as a completely unreliable partner. On virtually any and all levels and playing fields. Trade, defense, treaties, diplomacy, crime, terrorism ... And then any global initiatives (health, hunger, education, human rights, global warming ..)

We simply can't be regarded as a trustworthy partner - to stand up (or stand behind) - any principle or agreement.

Apparently 1/3 of us are the ugly American & the other 2/3's of us can't keep them under control.
