So we have reports that Trump was disgusting to both Mexico's president and Australia's PM on the phone and neither of the two world leaders responded publicly about Trump's behavior.

Worse than that. Apparently Trump is threatening to invade Mexico:
President Donald Trump threatened in a phone call with his Mexican counterpart to send U.S. troops to stop "bad hombres down there" unless the Mexican military does more to control them itself,

The chaotic nature of Trump’s administration has been revealed in the past few days with contradictory reports of whether the Republican administration would honour the deal struck by Obama.

The deal was confirmed by White House spokesman Sean Spicer, before being walked back hours later in a phone call from another presidential aide. It was then confirmed by the state department, and further by the US embassy in Canberra, before the president’s tweet appeared to end any hope the deal could progress.

Earlier in the day, the US state department had insisted the deal was on. “President Trump’s decision to honour the refugee agreement has not changed,” a US embassy spokesperson in Canberra said in a statement.

How can anyone trust America if it can't honor its past commitments and obligations? It's stuff like this that's doing lasting harm to American credibility and unless congress starts reigning in on Trump it's only going to keep decreasing.

At this rate Trump is going to glad if anyone sticks up for America instead of cheering for China when he stumbles into a conflict with them.
 
Yep, it greatly increases your negotiation position if you go about breaking prior agreements and promise left and right.
Mister "Art of the Deal" will be lucky if any country besides Russia is willing to sign any deal with him.

Sadly, I suspect our PM will do everything she can to keep her lips firmly glued to Donald's arse.

Let me just say that I find this level of skeptical analysis and discourse refreshing amid all the insults and name calling out there.

It's what elevates this forum above the unwashed masses.

Thank you.

I'm pretty sure the Peace Prize now requires a certain number of verifiable drone strikes before consideration.

It didn't stop them before. Did they think President Obama wasn't going to give orders to kill people in other countries, just like his predecessors? Even if, in the words of noted philosopher Clint Eastwood, they "needed killin'"?

I understand that wasn't the reason they gave it to him. I just think they shouldn't have, and that he should have declined it.

“You have a bunch of bad hombres down there,” U.S. President Donald Trump told Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, according to an excerpt of the Friday morning phone call seen by the Associated Press. “You aren’t doing enough to stop them. I think your military is scared. Our military isn’t, so I just might send them down to take care of it.”

I thought the Trumpmeister was taking us back to the 20th century, back to the 1950s, but this is like a headline from the 19th century.

What I don't get is his hostility to Australia. Australia? What did Australia do to us? Or to him?
 
Donald Trump went to Wharton and yet seems to have the literacy level of a ten-year-old. That's one of the many things I find puzzling about the 'man'

Hey, I hated poetry too but I've still managed to develop an ability to express myself that surpasses a 10-year-old boy talking about wrestling.

I apologize if I missed the indignation when opponents of Trump actually making arguments were called libtards and shillaries and snowflakes, or when suggestions that the insulting double-entendre nickname applied to the first lady by a dope-addled radio huckster might be racist were met with incredulous derision, and so forth, and on and on, but we must move with the times. Catcalls from the balcony are the price of power. Boo hoo pobrecito, pull out your crying towel. Don't like that the playbook has fallen into the wrong hands? Suck it up, buttercup.

There has been plenty of analysis and discourse about why it would be a bad idea to elect a reckless xenophobic misogynistic lying psychopath as president, but here we are, and if you don't like the way the social warriors and feminazis characterize the lunatic who can stand in the rain and say God stopped it for his speech, or who threatens to invade Mexico, well cry us a river.

This is perhaps the most eloquently expansive version of "You can dish it out, but you can't take it" I think I've ever encountered :9
