This would be funny if it weren't so sad.European diplomats reportedly consider Trump a 'laughing stock' who is 'obsessed with Obama'
Foreign diplomats hold a less-than-flattering view of President Donald Trump, according to a BuzzFeed report published on Wednesday.
Top-ranking European officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told BuzzFeed that their chief concerns were Trump's unpredictable Twitter use and his erratic behavior.
Among other things, they also described the president as "something of a laughing stock" at international gatherings.
As one official described it to BuzzFeed, diplomats consider his vocabulary to be limited to so few words and phrases that they play a type of "word bingo" whenever he speaks.
"Everything is 'great'; 'very, very great', 'amazing'," one diplomat told BuzzFeed.
Trump's distinctive speaking style has been widely imitated, most notably by actor Alec Baldwin, who often parodies the president on NBC's "Saturday Night Live."
While mimicking Trump, Baldwin often incorporates words the president favors into his routines, like "tremendous," "amazing," and "incredible."
