President 45 keeps calling diplomatic leaders at odd hours

This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime.

That's a pretty low bar for comparison.

Even people who despise her with a feral hatred have to admit she'd be a "lesser evil." At least someone who knows how to treat other foreign leaders well. I personally never saw her as flawed, with baggage, or a good alternative. It was always ImWithHer, and I never FeltTheBern. That "Bern" flamed out anyway.

"A pretty low bar for comparison" would be an accurate description of this entire administration, bucko.

Simpler explanation is he doesn't care about the time zones.

He has no regard for anyone or anything.

I beg to differ. He indeed holds a single person on this planet in high regard. Or rather, holds a single person in good regard at all. Himself.

Sounds like an interesting way to gauge people and how they react unprepared.

He wasn't voted in to treat them well, but to work to do things to the advantage of the US. If I'm right in what I said above then it sounds awful similar to how Admiral Rickover would study people applying to be Nukes in the USN.

If only the US had a President that loved mind games as much as he did. :(
