 No world leader is going to want to meet with him (with the exception of

 Maybe him and Vance and Rubio can sit around in the Oval Office alone

 Despite your inaccurate description of the U.S. as a democracy,

 
 <roll eyes> One of those "America is a republic not a democracy" freaks.

 
 <burps> Yeah, one of those "let's call things what they actually are"
freaks.
 
 The U.S. is much more preferable than a democracy. Democracy as a form of
 government is only slightly better than a dictatorship. Reduced down to its
 essentials democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.
 The sheep isn't gonna like the result of that election even though it was
 arrived at democratically.
 

 last I checked, we're still having elections and the current crew are there
 because
 they were voted in 'democratically'. I see no evidence that 'democracy' has
 disappeared.

 
 The US is now classified as a "deficient democracy," number 36 in a
 ranking of 176 countries.

 
 Classified by whom? What are their credentials? What are their biases? Why
is
 their opinion supposed to be considered fact?

 
See for yourself. And do your own research, I'm not Google.
