I still can’t believe world leaders invite, smile and shake hands with an adjudicated rapist. I mean, do they have zero integrity?

They know they have a role to play for the security of both countries. I’m certain they go home, take a very hot shower, and swear a lot.
Yes, the snubbing I had anticipated has yet to materialize. Sooooo politely watching fascism unfurl
they were norm sociopaths to become leaders, integrity they dont have nor empathy
I ask the same question.
Zero morality too…
World leaders are frequently scummy, horrible people. But diplomacy requires being polite to them.
Don't blame us; you still own a quarter of world trade. In spite of your pediphile-in-charge.
I’m Australian so don’t count me in 😬
Thank you for clearing that out. I am still looking for friends outside of the USA on this platform...
They have been shaking hands with rapists and child killers for centuries.. its not new.. They shake hands with every American President; though this country has the Biggest Genocide in recorded history..
Absolutely mind boggling!
Aren't you paying his salary? Do you expect them to provoke international incidents? He has not been prosecuted, so they must act in a diplomatic fashion. He is the head of state of the USA and they are meeting with the office, not the man.
He was convicted.
Not for rape. I get it that a judge in a civil case said there was a preponderance of likelihood, but, the criminal bar is beyond a shadow of a doubt. He was convicted of frauds, etc., yes, but again, he holds the office, and in that capacity they are forced to interact. You know this.
Oh I see what you were saying now. Sry
America elected him, so the rest of the world has to deal with him.
Many countries don’t allow convicted felons to enter….start enforcing your laws! Close your airspace to “Grift Force One”, scramble your fighters to prevent landing!
Canada and China are the only two countries who imposed reciprocal tariffs… The province of Ontario alone is costing the US $1B in losses from alcohol… these job numbers are the tip of the iceberg… wait til the impact of the US boycott of products and travel comes to a head…
No doubt they scrub their hands aggressively, as one would after a ten foot proximity to Maxwell 🤮
I wonder too!!!!!
They wouldn't have to if you hadn't elected him to be your leader... twice!
I agree. He is so bloody vile.
America elected him. I still can't believe that.
A person who didn't vote, basically voted for him, hope it teaches people, it is your duty as a citizen to vote!
Or, America just barely failed to elect Harris....
America elected Harris, Elon was in demented donnie's pocket for a reason....cheat, cheat, cheat.
Twice . Once could be a blip . Again after everything we knew about him just reveals to the world what America is . It’ll take generations for the world to trust America again .
Sigh. Political life is hypocritical. Hopefully, they wash their hands thoroughly afterward.
They should all be Stephen Flynn'ing every time. Can't meet Trump. Have to wash hair.
We have a portion of Congress that does the same thing. World leaders are changing, not sure Congress is going to.
Yes. Yes they do.
Well they're in politics so - yep.
It seems that the leaders of Brazil, Canada and Mexico have it. Not sure of any others.
I just hope that it won’t be long until they start shunning him. I can’t imagine any decent person wanting to be photographed shaking that creep’s dirty hand.
How about the American press corps pushing back on the daily hosepipe of lies by KKKaroline Leavitt at her press conferences?
Exactly 💯! Wtf???
Rapist don’t deserve respect
Also, while acting as dictator and bypassing the Federal legislature whose jobs he steals every day to get what HE wants, regardless of who doesn't.
Yes! They have no shame!
This is what emboldens prumT to push boundaries even further, when every one around him is normalising corrupt criminal behaviour instead of taking a stand against appeasement to protect their own self interest.
Bold to assume they don’t swap island stories and not just handshakes
Everyone of them should not show up for the G20. Just Don't Show Up.
not to mention that we know where that unwashed hand has been. Oh, and yes, they have no integrity which is what tRump thrives on.
Nope. Integrity? What's that? /s
What about our own Senators, Representatives, business leaders, and clergymen? We have devolved into a band of amoral hypocrites led by an avaricious, vile poseur. World leaders don't have the time or inclination to shine shit. They grin, shake his hand and return the excrement to us for disposal
They are political leaders so, probably not. But in the favour, I would point out just how important America is... economically and militarily. Whether we like it or not, and I suspect we don't like it much
The country voted for a convicted felon because it was allowed. Where does integrity start?
They're all still utterly gobsmacked that we gave the job back to a disgruntled, incompetent ex-employee who tried to burn the joint to the ground when he wasn't invited to stick around.
Who I would not leave alone with my daughter.
The rest of the world didn’t think much of us to begin with. Having Trump as president again just reaffirms their prior opinions.
agree
Yep. It's part of the job description. And it's not any different when they suck on the ding dongs of the neoliberal corporate vultures who are currently wrecking the biosphere and debasing civil society.
You are correct. Don’t forget countries that deny visa’s to convicted felons, but allow him state visits.
Exactly! He should be a pariah, everywhere in the world. Not one world leader should not take his calls, meet with him or utter a single word to him.
The most powerful nation on earth decided to give an orange baby a chainsaw. They’re trying to maintain peace. It’s the GOP/those toothless banjo picking mouth breathers that have zero integrity.
They know it's far worse than that.
I think they should refuse to meet with him if invited.
I'm sure our military is always in the middle of their mind. Afraid to burn the bridge or piss off the power. It really does suck for them. :(
Maybe they use their other hand
I empathise but, America has global power, other leaders are forced to deal with the US regardless of who POTUS is. I’m sure many feel like taking a shower after being near him. Direct your frustration/anger to the “great” American public whose ignorance and arrogance forced him on the world !
Apparently.
I have wondered the same. Maybe they worry about how the crazy will come out if they don’t but that’s not really a good excuse
Yes 0 integrity and many other things if they think they can make a deal with this convicted criminal
What are they supposed to do? We elected said rapist.
I still can’t believe that American citizens voted for, continue supporting and believe in the morality of a convicted rapist, paedophile and inveterate liar….
With a pedophile Eew
it's called diplomacy!
What else can they do? Declare war?
Scared of him and his flunkies
No, that's just politics. It sucks and it would be better if that weren't the case, but he's our responsibility to deal with.
Integrity doesn't trump (pun intended) fear. The US army is the sole backer of the US dollar. You don't fuck with your wallet, hard or flaccid...Look at Iraq
Unfortunately, the American president like all national leaders represents the nation as a whole and the position itself deserves respect, I just wish the American arseholes who voted for the Pedophile Trump understood that!
If he offered his hand to me , I would say "ewwww I dont know where that hand has been"
Agree. I wish they would ostracize him.
That pisses me off when I see that, but that will change once they figure out how to exist without the U.S.
Exactly, we're on our way to a 'Americaless' world!
Might they love the rogue rush?
I wish someone...and I don't care who at this point...would laugh hysterically in his face.
Queen Maxima mocked him to the press while he was standing right there, talking to her husband King Willem-Alexander. That was pretty cool.
Indeed How might we elicit better behaviour from the leaders of other countries?
He shouldn't be allowed in these countries. He is a felon.
Trump was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by a war criminal … Both of them need to be held accountable!!!
They all plug their noses and gag while doing it.
yup
They really should refuse
No, they just need to wash their hands afterwards. (To be taken literally and figuratively)
The US voted for Trump to represent them on the world stage, and you're questioning the integrity of the people that have to deal with him?
Yeah, but they probably wash their hands vigorously afterward.
I want one of these countries to arrest him for world crimes.
Nope. And no balls to say anything because, don’t make America mad.
they also don't have nukes, which is why they do what they fawn all over him, because they're not sure he won't find a way to use them to snuff out weather events, or them.
They’re politicians right? There’s your answer.
i was so mad they let that buffoon in my country. Carney is weak.
No one is actually doing anything to stop them. Until someone actually hits Trump square in the jaw, no one is going to risk their job standing up to him.
Just one person take a snack at him pleeeeease! Please, before he drops!
Enemies closer. As soon as he's out and the ball is back in their court, they'll all screw the US over, bigly.
I suspect they are all acutely aware that the rapist has control of nearly 3500 nuclear warheads and absolutely zero morals or restraint.
Not to mention a military base in nearly every one of their countries.
Introducing 14-year-old [Jane] to Donald J. Trump, Epstein elbowed Trump playfully asking him, referring to [Jane], ‘This is a good one, right?’ Trump smiled and nodded in agreement. They both chuckled and [Jane} felt uncomfortable, but, at the time, was too young to understand why.'" Raw story
Yes
They have countries to run- it’s a tightrope most of us are incapable of comprehending
Yes...zero integrity. I'm surprised you're surprised.
They have about as much integrity as the 71 million Americans who stupidly voted for him.
To be fair they are in a hostage situation I am sure hate him as much as we do!
I was saying we do, "hate him as much as we do!"
Ok thanks for that.😀👍
We do
We do? Who does, apart from Katlin Collins occasionally?
It’s a delicate balancing act.
Appears to be so.
