Actually, it is a combo of both laughter and fear.

Don't get that on tv....read international newspapers, and watch statements of foreign leaders.

Those bordering Russia, for one are fearful about the future of NATO. Those in Sweden, were laughing loudly.

Most are confused by the President saying one thing, his press sect another, and a cabinet member a third thing. They also are confused, as one French newspaper put it, Trumps total inability to be honest.

As Rubicon pointed out, we are weaker as a country right now.

Next week, he speaks to congress and has to lay out plans.

On this forum, folks ignore all the issue driven threads...Iraq, Health care, ISIS, etc and spend their time talking about the latest Trump lie, mis statement, accusation, etc. then blame the media because they report what he does and says.

Foreign countries also notice this....and report it.

So, it is both....laughing and afraid...add very confused and non trusting to those.
