Re: President Trump fills world leaders with fear: 'It's gone from funny to really sc
Considering that in what little Trump has had to say, there is genuine reason why world leaders are nervous. First he has made it clear he will start a trade war. Anyone familiar with Hawly-Smoot will cringe in fear..

Second, Trump has shown no signs that he can get along with anyone. His character of hurling personal insults does not lend itself to diplomacy.
Third, most of his followers are too stupid to realize diplomacy is a good thing, childishly or Merkel calling Putin names is not
Fourth, he hasn't got the first clue about the complications of international affairs, he views everything in life like it's a real estate deal. He is a reactionary with very poor impulse control
Five, he thinks the nuclear triad is a group of people he simply has to replace to make it modern
And then there is the issue with Mexico were he has called THEM out about what is and has been an American made problem. If that and his personal affairs, where he blame everyone else, does not lend itself to peaceful co-existence.

Unsurprisingly, Trump has provided no specifics regarding the foreign policy of a Trump administration. That is because Trump has no foreign policy specifics, just populist rhetoric.
The public-relations company of Trump's top campaign strategist - Paul Manafort - has been listed in the top five lobbying on behalf of human-rights abusers.
