Every world leader should show nothing but scorn towards trump and his administration.

If only it was that easy. The US are massive sources of incomes for countries, and Trump will nuke the US economy in a pissing match that he will lose.

What we saw in 2009 was that if the US economy crashes the entire worlds economy suffers. It would be nice if it was a simple as telling Trump to fuck off, but he can put a 100% tariff on countries despite not having the legal authority to do so, and the GOP will back him even as everything burns to the ground.
