World leaders conclude: Trump is a liability, not a leader

http://www.cnn.com/2017/08/24/opinions/world-has-seen-what-trump-has-to-offer-robertson-opinion/index.html

<snip>
(CNN)Donald Trump's global honeymoon is over.

Seven months into his presidency, his foes have him figured out while America's friends are ducking for cover.

Trump's off-script, off-color campaign-style rallies that roll back-to-back with the carefully scripted aspirations of his administration suggest to large parts of the world a man who cannot control himself -- much less the nation he leads.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg told CNN last week in a conversation about stability in the face of Russian aggression, that what America's NATO allies need right now is predictability: "As long we are strong, as long as we are predictable, we can also engage in political dialogue with Russia to try to avoid escalation and to avoid a new Cold War."
