Donald asks "At what point does America get demeaned? At what point do they start laughing at us?" Literally, the moment you were elected."
Go to this next story for numerous pointed cartoons and why Tweety shows himself as a buffoon.

"Trump asked when the world will start laughing at the US. It already is" [I would have said "The World Started laughing the day you tweeted "covfefe."]

Ironic commentary to follow . . . lol
"It won’t lead from behind when there are deals to be done, or undone, and redone. If there’s an international agreement on trade, security or climate change – especially one negotiated by a president not called Trump – then you know that agreement is living on borrowed time. Much like the planet itself.
No, the US is not Montenegro. It won’t accept a deal that involves some kind of trade-off or negotiation. The US shouldn’t have to pay billions for a climate change deal when it can pay trillions in sea defenses for no climate change deal. That’s the kind of long-range thinking you can expect from President Trump.
“At what point does America get demeaned?” he asked his rapt audience in the Rose Garden on Thursday, as his unusually golden comb-over glinted in the afternoon sun. “At what point do they start laughing at us as a country? … We don’t want other leaders and other countries laughing at us any more. And they won’t be. They won’t be.”
No they won’t. They won’t dare to laugh at an American president who takes a motorized golf cart through the streets of Sicily while his fellow leaders walk like pedestrians. They won’t laugh at a president whose handshake is a form of mortal combat where only one hand survives with its dignity intact. They won’t laugh at a president who thinks that saving the world is just another way to destroy the US."
Tweety's White House does not understand date formats used by the rest of the world. That is an example of why the world is laughing at his administration. He has a staff of rookies making mistakes every single day.
"The British are rightly laughing at the Trump administration’s confusion over date formats.
In the United States, we represent the date with the month first, followed by the day and the year, which is illogical. No wonder we’re the only English-speaking nation to do so (our territories, commonwealths, and associated states abroad have dutifully followed suit). Most of the rest of the world, including Europe, uses day-month-year, which is logical."

"How do Donald Trump supporters live with the fact that he is a laughing stock of the rest of the world?"
E.g U.K. voted to have him blocked. I have travelled Europe, Asia and everywhere I go I see people making fun of Trump. How do Trump supporters feel about this?
Also, how would he ever be able to negotiate with world leaders if he is a laughing stock of the people in that country?"

The Trump supporters I know don’t have much experience outside of their part of the USA, much less the globe. And they truly don’t understand that Trump is a laughingstock, they actually think he commands respect. It seems to be due to the fact that THEY think his utterances, particularly the rude ones, are demonstrations of strength and they assume everybody else will see him the same way. They see his black-and-white depictions of issues as incisive rather than pathetically simplistic, and don’t grasp that much of the rest of the world understands the knotty issues better than they or Trump do."
There is more to this and the answers help me cope with the "True Believers" who cannot stray from supporting Tweety, even if he sh*t on the kitchen floor.
The matter of laughing is due to Tweety's appalling lack of knowledge of world and American HISTORY, inability to learn, read, pay attention for more than 5 minutes to complex issues, THEN STUDY the issues THOUGHTFULLY, act with wisdom rather than emotion, and behave like an adult, to wit look at his RUDELY pushing through another country leader at the NATO Conference.
Tweety is laughed at because he acts like a buffoon.
Here's a point. The Belt and Road Conference in China will probably NOT have a representative from the United States.

"BEIJING, May 13 (Xinhua) -- When world leaders convene in Beijing seeking ways to connect Asia, Europe and Africa for shared economic benefits, they are doing their part for a fairer world order.
The upcoming Belt and Road forum which opens on Sunday will discuss fairer use of resources to improve infrastructure and ensure the free flow of goods and services.
For decades, resources have been hogged by developed nations leaving developing nations with a vast deficit in infrastructure and social development.
With emerging and developing economies now contributing more than 60 percent of global growth, it is time to make some changes."

"After a dizzying few months, in which Donald Trump’s young presidency called into question the entire post-World War II global order, the geopolitical status quo appears to have re-emerged. But this is no time for complacency: the liberal world order remains far from secure.
Recent developments are encouraging. The adults — such as Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and National Security Adviser HR McMaster — are back in charge in Washington."
I think Ana was premature in saying who runs the White House. The withdrawal from the Paris Accord suggests Bannon is back in charge.

Tweety said very rude, unfair, nasty things about the Paris Accord and insulted 194 nations of the world with his ugliness. But maybe all is not lost if the next President, which surely will NOT be Tweety, rejoins the Paris Accord, and apologizes for Tweety's bad behavior.
"“The president is going to follow the [withdrawal] procedures as required under the Paris agreement,” White House energy policy adviser Michael Catanzaro told Republican Capitol Hill staffers on Wednesday afternoon. “We will initiate the process, which, all told, takes four years in total. But we’re going to make very clear to the world that we’re not going to be abiding by what the previous administration agreed to.”
That four-year timeline means that the U.S. will be officially eligible to exit the Paris accord on November 4, 2020—a day after the next presidential election."
Those of us who care about the planet we leave to our grandkids and their grandkids hope that our American Governors and others like Bloomberg can keep up the battle against global warming despite Tweety's / Bannon's stupidity and arrogance.
