In his first Presidential time period, and later when he was away, faraway from energy by a rigged election and a deep-state conspiracy, overseas leaders took their time bashing Donald J. Trump in each means conceivable.
However now, after his legendary victory, and using on a rare mandate from the American folks, many of those identical leaders have had second ideas, and are lining as much as backpedal their valuable feedback.
The Telegraph reported:
“Within the wake of Donald Trump’s victory within the US election this week, a number of Left-wingers and different leaders who castigated him previously – in all probability assuming he was extra more likely to go to jail than return to the White Home – have been dashing out statements, congratulating the Republican on his sensational win and saying how a lot they can’t wait to work with him.”
Probably the most excessive instance could be Uk Labour International Secretary, David Lammy, that we have now written about right here.
To get forward within the far-leftist atmosphere he’s in, Lammy needed to be fairly sick with the Trump Derangement Syndrome.
Branding the then-president a ‘woman-hating, neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath’ and a ‘profound menace to the worldwide order’ was simply the ‘left’ factor to say in 2019.
The next yr he determined to go all-in and tweet that Trump was ‘deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic’ and ‘no buddy of Britain’.
“Now, nevertheless, because the UK’s chief diplomat, he has been compelled to take a fairly extra conciliatory tone. On Wednesday, he tweeted his ‘congratulations’ to Trump on his victory, who he would now ‘look ahead to working with’.”

Among the many first to ‘swallow his delight’ and leap on the cellphone to Trump this week was Emmanuel Macron, President of France.
“An keen Emmanuel Macron was among the many first international leaders to congratulate Trump over his win, tweeting he was ‘able to work collectively’ with respect, conviction and ambition as they’d finished throughout their earlier time collectively in workplace.”
In 2018, Macron harshly criticized Trump’s ‘nationalism’ and protectionist commerce insurance policies. Trump responded with references to Macron’s low approval score.
One other one making an attempt to undo the self-inflicted harm of his personal phrases is Donald Tusk Prime minister of Poland
“When Donald Tusk was president of the European Council, he hardly ever pulled his punches throughout Trump’s first time period. ‘With associates like that, who wants enemies?’ he questioned in 2018 in response to Trump’s determination to withdraw from the Iran nuclear accord. The next yr, he branded Trump’s speech endorsing nationalism and patriotism as ‘false and harmful’, and in 2020 mocked Trump over his makes an attempt to downplay the hazards of Covid.”
Tusk is now going through calls from opposition leaders to resign in an effort to defend good ties between Warsaw and Washington.
Tusk took to social media to congratulate the President-elect, saying he would ‘look ahead to our cooperation for the great of the American and Polish nations’.
And, after all, we have now Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Fee.
She failed as Germany’s protection minister, failing to fulfil its 2% of the GDP protection spending commitments. In 2021, she declared herself ‘aghast’ and ‘deeply involved’ over Trump’s angle in the direction of Nato.
“Now, as president of the European Fee, she is going to hope her feedback don’t come again to chew her. The bloc is going through a possible commerce battle with the US if Trump introduces his anticipated import tariffs. Maybe in a bid to maintain him candy, von der Leyen has been fast to congratulate Trump on his “clear victory” this week. “I’m wanting ahead to working with him once more to strengthen the transatlantic bond,” she instructed reporters on Thursday.”
