When you talk like an idiot you are a idiot !!! THANKS TRUMPSKI
The USA is an embassment to its self by allowing trump to continue on
Think, he proves he is an idiot each time he opens his mouth!!!
I must take issue with the word "credibility" being used in any way, shape, or form in connection with Donald Trump. Tell me ONE SINGLE TIME that ANYTHING that man has done that has EVER been credible. Think your word choices through next time.
He is most likey in the Epstein circle, far worse.
The reason being that it's clearly true
It’s time to disown Trump
I'd love to see you two slip slidin' the snowy streets of Davos.
Being from Newfoundland, I take exception to your seal clubbing comment (but I adore you and Joanna)
Davos sounds a lot like Philadelphia PA in January.
I would LOVE to break bread with you both! Any chance?
Europe has a shared enemy that draws them together.
He has destroyed the world for a very long time
I am sorry they don't think Trump is an idiot they know he is an idiot
haha i bet Dubai is off the shortlist now
All the world knows who is an idiot.
Only THINK!!!!!!
Trump shouldnt have gotting off The esculator he made a fool out of himself.
That’ because he is😂

Took his family to Epstein Island! <br>Not watching, bye-ee!
Thank you for an insider’s view
Joanna, you are truly amazing. Thank you.
Why would they have trusted him to begin with. Trump has been known as a pathological liar for years now. So any world leader who is willing to do any business with Trump. Has to e as stupid as Trump and is willing to do corrupt things to benefit themselves and not there Countries. <br>I don’t think any honest president would be willing to do any legitimate business with Trump because they know heP is just going to screw them over.
And now he's bombing Iran. Well done America.
Could it be because he is a idiot
Canada is ready to step up as the new leader of the Western World.
I guess it's up to us, if it even is, it's either going to be: share and share alike-socialism or, it's going to be the monopolist capitalist predatory Christian open air debtor's prison. It may seem like a park now yet I think the lights are dinning and they're about to finally close the gate.
Agree with all your statements! Thanks!<br>He was always a bad person, abusing girls, conman, terrible in business, he is so weak emotionally that is why he is a bully, he is a malignant narcissist!
Gavin is awesome
As a Canadian who has voted for the Conservative party for 40 years, I could not be more proud of our Liberal Prime Minister. Mark Carney is putting us back on the world map and is becoming the voice of reason in the west. Canada is not afraid of Trump and Mr Mark Carney is establishing that position with an infectious confidence.
World Leaders aren’t the only ones who think he’s an idiot. Some of us also think he’s a loser and a phony
Well it took them long enough to figure that out !
Trump, most likely, feels inferior in comparison to European leaders, but believing that Eastern lEuropean leaders are less, he "prefers" latter. It's has something to do with him, but you, in your comment, diminishing the value of East Europe is not acceptable. You are actually heavily stereotyping and being judgemental.
If my grubby details of history are correct, the nocturnal activities of those attending the post WW1 Vienna Conference, set the stage for Davos, a century later.
HUMDINGER. Joe, i wasn't aware you possessed an Antipodeon lexicon.
They are not wrong
Love you both!
Iit might be that they think he’s an idiot because he is a total idiot?
Definitely oppose your view of Gavin. He has stepped up, savvy, has heart. Whether POTUS material, time will tell. (He cannot HELP how his hair grows!!)
Look back at the Helsinki meeting. Do you remember the photo op for the entire world to take in as Donald sat next to Putin? Putin was about to explode with joy when Donald sat there with his Adderall-induced nasal passages draining and his lips were open like a relaxed beak. Both smug as can be. They both had just carved up the world into mutual empires. Donald was to become the Shah of the Western Hemisphere and Putin was assured that NATO was going to be dismantled and he wouldn't receive any opposition from us to his plans to expand the Russian Empire. Putin could hardly contain his joy. And then along came COVID. Their plans were set back appreciably. Ukraine, the press, and members of an unintimidated judiciary are their main obsticales.
9/11 was partially an Israeli intelligence operation. That's why Arab countries were blamed for it. A culprit of mutual economic and ideological convenience.
Europe could always be as great an economic power as the U.S. if all of its countries could cooperate well enough economically.
The main options for 2024 were Trump and Kamala. Please Jesus, give us someone new in 2028.
Canadians have no trust.
Something wrong with Trump? !! Hell yes but there always has been from his childhood. Over indulged and nobody has ever stood in front of him and said to his face NO No No Donald that won't work and I'm not going to do that!! End of story.
He's not a well man. What's their excuse?
Sane
One thing the rest of us in the same world cannot get our heads around is why 78 million Americans believe in this Conman!. We just cannot fathom it at all, I guess it says something about the American education system!!
Credibility and Trump have never walked together!
World leaders think Trump is an idiot because they are not idiots.
Trump will end up in a box or a cell and then a box. All we are doing is worrying about the details.
Hey...you are talking about a guy who bankrupted a dozen companies...
DEPORT THE DAILY BEAST!
The ruling class is just paying for favors I.e MELANIA and Amazon
Trump is the biggest ape to ever walked the earth
Trump so wants to be putin.
Brilliant show!!! I'm in ❤️ with the Hostess Woman/Person 😀
Trump cannot love Europe because he's inferior. (same as with Obama)
When wasn’t Trump an embarrassment? Get rid of him quick!
We don't think he is an idiot. <br>We are absolutely sure he is an idiot!
Donald Trump is as crazy as Nero in Rome.
You don't need to seek World Leaders' opinion. Once upon a time, a little boy saw something that no one seems to care about and dare to follow his own instincts. Democracy is based on popularity rather than merit
The world thinks Trump is stupid is because he tell them so every time he opens his mouth
Obama for president
Trump was showing early dementia in 2016 most people weren't paying attention
They think he is an idiot because he is an idiot. They also think he is a racist, a Neo Nazi, an intellectual pigmy, a narcisist and a mentally disturbed clown for the same reason, because he is.
There is documented proof from the military college Trump attended that his IQ is between 92 and 96. He is not Einstein but rather the “village idiot”.
Yup. He's an idiot.
Same reason everyone thinks he's an idiot. Just listen to him speak.
Well I have always thought he was an idiot. He denied Covid and said use Bleach. Impeach him!!!
Spoilers: It's not just World Leaders.
The WHY doesn't matter ... tRump IS AN IDIOT & EMBARRASSMENT TO THE HUMAN RACE !!
I remember when he got electet , the rest of the world saw that as a crisis in the making . They just didnt know how big it would be , and now they see its going to be worse than anyone anticipatet .<br>Trump never had any credibility , so he cant lose what he never had in the first place .
Europe focus on China? Haha of course, 4 European country leaders are in China in the first 2 months of 2026 to focus on China
I think it's gone beyond THINK .
They do not think he is an idiot THEY KNOW TRUMP IS AN IDIOT,
gossip ! old senil reporter
It doesn't take a scientist to ascertain this.
Trump think he’s a lion king , but forgot got lion kings always end up on the scrap heap .
Why? It's pretty obvious to anybody who's paying attention Trump is an idiot
They don't think he is an idiot they know he is an idiot
As long as they have Trumps name as the first word on their tongues, we are screwed.<br>Someone will have to pop up, and take all the attention from Trump.<br>A stronger personality has to interject themselves inro the conversation.<br>Only then will America have a chance at saving their democracy. <br>A crumbling empire is a dangerous thing. Especially, when it's broke, its' debt owned by foreign nations, and at the stage where it is reaching out to take resources from other sovereign nations.<br>The American people have seen their public education system ground down since the 70s'.<br>Religion and spirituality have been slowly put on par with science!<br>These actions were not an accideent. They were done purposefully and intentionally in order to dumb down the population, so an eventual dictatorship would be, almost inevitable. <br>How many Americans have read William Schriers' , Rise and Fall od the Third Reich?<br>A 700 page history of how the Nazies gas lit the German people into committing some of rhe worst atrocities of the 1900s'.<br>I'm guessing, not many know this history, as the Americans are currently walking rhat path, with no idea of the consequences that will inevitably come to fruition.
Joanna, you are such a wonderful smart host of this pod! AND you are so Beautiful! Why not try pastel colors? Think they would look great on you!<br>(If I may be so personal, no hard feelings I hope!)<br>Yours/<br>Susanne Ringskog (77), Sweden
Well now after 10 years, Geeze thanks a lot, wish you had mounted that horse about 10 years ago. EVERYONE knew he was a criminal ! But off America went voting a convicted criminal to the highest power on earth. Shame on us Americans. I grew up in Canada, we knew in the 80’s what a crook he was, news before news flashes, we knew, shame shame on America this vote has put a black stain on this once great country.
Poor old Humpty Trumpy. There are plenty of homes for people in the same state as him. He’s fallen off the wall many times, can no longer be put together again.
In my 45-year academic career, I have met thousands of very smart, well-educated, and classy people who I was impressed by. I have also met thousands of others who immediately made me think, "what a moron!". I once met Donald Trump in NYC around 1988 at an event and I thought to myself, "What a moron!".
There is nothing more dangerous than a sociopath who is stupid and lacks conscience. That is JD Vance. Trump the Orange Turd is many times worse.
rothkopf (nor anyone) should use the term "terrified" when referring to people's feelings about Trump. Trump LOVES that. reminds me of when Elizabeth Warren constantly called hum a "money-grubbing bully"..lol She's ridiculous. Both Trump and his base see that as a term of endearment. But you see these coddled ivy league types like Warren (got her JD at Rutgers) and Rothkopf (who went to Columbia) have been pampered and protected etc. think in terms of chaos and terror being a problem. Which it is... but not in the Orange Idiot's world.
Because he is an idiot?
Trump an idiot? Whatever got into the heads of the bigwigs in Davos to think our Stable Genius is an idiot? I am profoundly shocked!
Trump is Right, Europe’s decline is no longer a warning—it’s a fact. The continent has abandoned ambition, innovation, and strategic independence. Instead of shaping the world, Europe now waits for others to make the decisions and build the technologies that will define the future. It relies on external powers for energy, security, and even political direction.<br>Modern Europe feels like a museum: impressive in its history, irrelevant in its influence. Its leaders talk endlessly about values and heritage, yet produce few results and show little capacity to act. While other regions push forward with technological breakthroughs, geopolitical influence, and economic dynamism, Europe clings to outdated structures and the illusion of global relevance.<br>The world has moved on. Europe hasn’t.
Think??!!!
I am so tired. So tired.
To David Rothkopf................Why did you not mention prime minister Mark Carney who has beaten trump every time and also got a standing ovation at Davos when he spoke
The fact we have such a moronic and average toilet bug as president just shows how irrelevant the position has become on the worlds stage
You mean they only think so?
They don't think...the whole world knows he and his administration are nothing but idiots.
Joanna Cole's posh fly caught in that upper crust ointment of "isn't People power amuzing?" is essentially useless to everyone attending protests except to get a glimpse of how the 1% view the world. But she's never gonna hunger strike except to fit into her new Ellie Saab evening gown.
Agreed on everything except that I do believe there are multiple ways to look at what Gavin Newsom is doing, and in fact if you look at his interviews from Davos, it is helping many people in and outside the US see another side of our politics- same with his presence at COP! I deeply appreciate what Newsom is doing!
