The world leaders shown in the picture should be happy they are not wearing African Neck Ties.

Does he think that most Americans DON’T want world leaders to fear us again? Our stature in the world has fallen drastically since the Obamas moved into the WH.

Rattled? They should be crapping in their pants. The United States under Donald Trump will be a very different place than the one they've been accustomed to for the last few decades.

The big dog they've been teasing is about to slip his chain.

Actually, there will be many, many leaders that will want to quickly meet with President Trump to improve relations with the US......because of the awful relations over the last 8 years.

I think terrified would be a more accurate description. It’s reminiscent of the aura surrounding Ronald Reagan when he ran for his first term. It’s BEAUTIFUL!!!

“World Leaders” being George Soros, Tom Steyer, the Saudi Princes, Goldman Execs, etc.

They paid GOOD MONEY to buy the Democratic Party, after all.

....Oh Mr. Obama, could it be that in public these world leaders will nod in agreement with you, but in private, will give the “thumbs up” that a person with REAL leadership skills is running for the White House and they will be all too happy to be done with you in January.

Trump’s strong stand on buggery makes them nervous.

This is what Americans have been waiting for. “Rattle” those bastards instead of them rattling the keys to the U.S. Treasury.

Trump did not rattle them as much as the Obama withdrawal from the world stage.

One of the things I liked about Presidents Reagan, Clinton, and the Bushes was that they all came off as just a little bit nuts. I think it kept world leaders on their toes, as if they were saying, “I’d never use nukes...that would be crazy,” and then wink as if the meaning was “I might be that crazy.”
