World leaders have a big new problem: Trump's Oval Office Smackdowns



Cnn

It is the new hunger Games of World Politics das by President Donald Trump broadcast Oval Office.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa was the youngest leader who became a Maga Prop on Wednesday, since Trump maintained him about false claims that White South African farmers are victims of genocide.

Foreign leaders now enter the Holy Hiding of the US President -the press conferences, as if they are WWE Cage games.

Trump's connections are a metaphor for a US foreign policy that is unpredictable, politicized and impressed in conspiracy theories. Like Ukraine and Jordan, the more susceptible a country, the more enemy a reception that they tend to receive.

If you enter the growing political risks in the Oval Office, it would not be surprising if some leaders rethink a once coveted invitation, but is now a political trap. This could have diplomatic consequences, with global southern nations like South Africa now looking for more to China than for the USA.

Ramaphosa knew what would come. He was accompanied by his White Minister of Agriculture in the new government of the Multiracial Coalition. Trump's friends, the South African Major -Master -Golfer, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen, were also moved in.

But that didn't stop Trump from dimming the lights and rolling out a multimedia show with a right-wing propaganda over South Africa. “Death, Death, Death,” he said when he showed an article about the murders of white Africans.

The question of a fairer landowner is one of the most complex legacy of the years of minority rule in South Africa. But as Ramaphosa explained, there is no systematic attempt to eradicate a community based on breed or ethnicity – the definition of genocide. And most victims of violent crimes are black.

Zelensky overshadows every meeting

Each Oval Office meeting now takes place in the urgent shadow of the brutal Inquisition of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by Trump and Vice President JD Vance in February.

Ramaphosa seemed to have learned from this shocker. As he rattled, he reacted more with confusion than with the annoyance of the presidents' ambient. He patiently tried to explain the facts – not that it made some difference.

“They are being executed and they happen to be white and most of them are randomly farmers,” said Trump. “I don't know how to explain that.”

Most presidents are boring matters. Press players are pushed in to hear the platitudes of the individual leaders about the strong relationship between the two countries. Sometimes reporters throw in a few questions before waiting for a formal press conference later a day.

This has changed in Trump's second term, which even destroyed the barriers to the decency that the president made in his first attempt.

The oval office is now overcrowded and rudier.

Vance often sits on the sofa of the White House together with cabinet members who are waiting to overthrow. This is an unusual role for the Veep. During the Obama government, Mied Joe Biden, the then Vice President, often in the spotlight in the back of the room. Trump's visitors have to carry out the Maga media package glove, which looks like the President of Viral Moments. During the visit of Zelensky, such a reporter asked the president who bears a military-style field jacket to honor Frontline troops why he was not wearing a suit to show respect.

Many deep problems have remained in South Africa since the end of apartheid and years of corrupt and chaotic leadership of the African National Congress in South Africa. One can certainly say that none of these problems was helped by Trump's antics at all. But that was clearly not the point. The President's Oval Office is about signaling the Maga base – in this case their white nationalist elements.

Trump's brand is based on being an outsider and a disturbance. He returned to the office, determined to tear away global political and trading systems that strengthened the US power, but he says that they tear off Americans. What could be nicer to demonstrate “America First” -Stonman references, to insult as foreigners on TV?

Elon Musk looks at South African President Cyril Ramaphosa as President Donald Trump on May 21 in Washington, DC, in the Oval Office of the White House.

Sometimes the spectacle seems to be the benefit of a man – Elon Mousk. Mogul born in South Africa was in the room with Ramaphosa on Wednesday after complaining about the discrimination against white in South Africa.

The views of Musk were also broadcast during a visit to the British Prime Minister Keir Starrer when Vance complained about what he said to speak of tech companies in Great Britain in Great Britain. Starer, which was trained by his weekly appearances in the questions of the prime minister in the lower house in the lower house, briefly made the complaint. “We have a very, very long time in the United Kingdom freedom and it will be very, very long.”

Which guide has best processed Trump in the Oval Office?

Trump's ritual humiliation of his visitors means that the world leaders of the world now have a complex new dimension for their preparatory work.

You have to think about how to join your voters at home. If you don't constantly have Trump, you will look weak. If you push back hard, you may get a domestic thrust – like Zelensky – but damage your national interests if you let Trump plunge a resentment.

And managers have to try not to be trapped in front of the camera, while Trump says or does something that underlines their relative weakness compared to the United States.

In February, for example, King Abdullah from Jordan was deeply unpleasant when Trump urged him to accept refugees from Gaza. Such an influx could overthrow Jordan's fragile political balance and the monarchy itself. But Abdullah also knew that his country depends on the security of US security so that he could not refute his host.

Zelensky was another soil. After he had been thrown out of the White House because he was angry with Vance's demands for gratitude, he spent weeks doing well again.

The most successful Oval Office visitors are those who praise Trump without exposing themselves too much.

With a flowering theatrical flowers, Parlerer made a letter from King Charles III. Invited Trump for a state visit. Starer is not known as a natural politician and he got top brands for his unusually skillful performance at home.

French President Emmanuel Macron created the second-term game book for the correction of Trump's wild falsehood when he put his hand on the U.S. President's wrist when he mistakenly claimed that Europe would get help that had cast into Ukraine. “No, to be honest, we paid. We paid 60% of the total effort,” said Macron.

Macron seemed to enjoy the top -class political act of the Oval Office Showdown. But he made sure to visit his own statements with a large portion of “dear Donald”.

Another leader who is the bridge between Europe and Trump is the Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni. As a right-wing populist, who often visits Mar-A-Lago, Meloni had the advantage of being among friends.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and US President Donald Trump meet on Thursday, April 17, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, DC.

But as a strong supporter of Ukraine, she was on sensitive reasons that she smoothed out with smooth political skills. At some point Meloni interrupted her own interpreter and took over the translation tasks himself to ensure that Trump fully understood a point about the increasing defense spending of Italy.

And she bordered the favor by adopting the Trumpian venture language and told the president that she could “make the West great again”.

No foreign guide was exposed to as much domestic pressure in the oval office as the Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. After all, he had just won a choice that was dominated by the hostility to Trump's demands to have annexed Canada by wrapping himself into the Maple leaf flag.

Carney tried to speak to Trump, and the President would understand in relation to the real estate magnate. “There are some places that are never for sale,” he said. “After the meeting with the owners of Canada in the course of the campaign … it is not for sale, will never be for sale.”

When Trump said, “Never say.” Carney turned to the cameras and the real north and flows: “Never, never.”

However, Trump had the host of the host on the last word – another danger for the world leaders who visited the Oval Office. He made a tirade about how unfair it was that the United States bears a large part of the costs of defending Canada militarily, and then told the press to leave it. Carney couldn't get a word in edge.

In this photo from the Vatican media, Pope Leo XIV, right, meets on May 19 in the Vatican with the US Foreign Minister Marco Rubio and the US Vice President JD Vance.

Managers never know exactly what could happen to Trump.

That brings us to Pope Leo XIV.

Vance was in the Vatican for the Pope's first trade fair last weekend and handed over an impressive white envelope with the presidential seal, which included an invitation to a visit to the White House. Leo was heard to say “at some point” – maybe he referred to his intention to accept the offer.

But the former Robert Prevost from Chicago didn't seem to be in a hurry. Perhaps this is because it is almost unimaginable to imagine the man that the Roman Catholics viewed as representatives of God on earth, who willingly submit to the Oval Office Bear Pit and Trumps some secular rhetoric.

Every visit should follow intensive negotiations with the Vatican.

But the spectacle of the two most famous Americans in the planet in the famous office could be seen.
