Teaser Trump is already as much of a joke on the international stage as Bush jnr ever was which is saying something because he isnt even head of a party, little known holding office yet ut im done giving that blowhard oxygen.

I know you're a fruitcake progressive and all, but do you realize that W actually maintained his alliances throughout the world? That takes work.

Obama's administration weakened bonds with allies, made no new friends, US enemies hate us as much as ever, and Putin is undisputed master of his domain - pushing around those Obama weakly promised to protect. The world sees him for what he is - a pushover. (See: Iran, Syria, Ukraine, Libya, etc - all complete failures ... that is, unless you're some twink in Australia that hates America, then Obama is pretty cool.)
