    1. Canadian here, can confirm that America is a laughing stock here too, maybe not so much in Alberta, but the rest of us are laughing too.

    2. ‘Murican here not laughing, it’s just sadness with brief moments of “holy fuck, I guess that’s happening” every couple hours.

    3. You just need to hear any of his speeches and you realize he’s an absolute buffoon but has a cult following and is president. The US is a joke. Sorry, Americans.

      Trump is really good at one thing – you know the truth is the exact opposite of what he says. He’s good at making it obvious. The USA is absolutely the laughing stock of the entire planet and will be for a long while yet. It’ll probably be a cautionary tale in the history books of what not to do in a fairly new country.

      Canadian here, can attest, America has become a laughingstock here. I’d be so fucking embarrassed if I was American.

      Any culture that voluntarily puts a lying idiot like Donald Trump in power (twice) can never be trusted or respected. I’m not saying America can’t be trusted or respected again, just that as long as the current culture there persists it will never be taken seriously (except as a threat).

      I rely on foreign news for accurate reporting of US shenanigans and it’s very clear everybody except maga and tRump himself thinks he’s an idiot.

    8. Growing up in the 80’s/90’s in Australia, the US was the benchmark for music/culture/politics “the American dream”. It was all fake, gold painted, plastic garbage and Trump is the king of all that.

    9. I’m an Canadian born Aussie, and I moved passed ‘laughing’ into revulsion quite some time ago.

    10. As an Aussie brit, so is the US.

      The fact you guys voted this guy in, not once, but twice, and with millions not even bothering to vote, is embarrassing.

      At least in Australia we have huge voter turnout and our right leaning loser PMs just get kicked out after a year or two before they can fuck everything up.

      Here in the US we’re just trying to keep him focused on marble armrests and not the nuclear football

    12. Yeah, those of us that are not in a cult know he’s the laughing stock of the whole world. The orange buffoon and his minions are delusional.

      European here, most of us have lost all respect for anything USA related. Not only did you elect Trump, you did it twice. Your democracy has been eroding far longer than that, and nobody did anything to fix it, not even when Democrats were running the government.

      Biden should have jailed Trump and all of his sycophants when he had the chance. You don’t need PhD in political sciences to know that Americans were never going to elect a woman for president, let alone one that isn’t white. Now the whole world is suffering because of you, and you still don’t seem to care all that much.

      I used to look up to you, no more.

    14. I don’t think I’m only who stopped laughing a long time ago. Now it’s just an ever revolving mix of fear, pity, disappointment, anger and disgust.

    15. As someone who has visited Canada, Mexico, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Ireland and Germany during his 2 terms. I can guarantee when he’s in office the rest of the world thinks of us as the laughing stock of the world.

    16. Your real friends will always tell you straight. Don’t worry… we’ll be back and a true ally to you again one day soon.

      Murdoch has a stranglehold on media here. Trump had an approval rating of 33% last year. Down to 22% this year thank goodness.

      Hes a laughing stock here, as well as the rest of the world. Hell, even his dictator buddies are laughing at him.
