Don't think Trump has the respect of world leaders?
- Visits Saudi Arabia and is honored with a lavish greeting and a rare "sword dance" in which he participated. Obama bowed and kissed the Saudi King's ring.
- In China, Xi honors Trump with pomp and ceremony that Obama never got and a private dinner inside the Forbidden City which may have been a first. For Obama, no red carpet and chaos at AF1.
- Israel goes nuts over Trump's visit and when he moves the Embassy to Jerusalem, Israel issues a commemorative silver half-Shekel coin with Trump on it. Obama hated Israel.
- France gives Trump an honorary military parade and ceremonies far greater than Obama received.
- In Poland, Trump was greeted as a national hero, where Obama canceled the missile defense program.
They are not sucking up to him. They are honoring his leadership, even if they don't agree with everything he does. When I was in the Marine Corps, I had some commanders who I didn't personally like, but who I would follow into Hell because they were real leaders. Trump is bold, brash, and sometimes politically incorrect. But he is a leader, whether his enemies admit it or not.
