People outside the US pay attention and all the mess created/enabled there is actually appealing to some. I'd say it's funny in isolation, until my highschool friend mentioned that we should have our own Trump to stop Muslims coming in. It's a shitty example to the world.
The President typically has a lot of influence over party members in normal times, the Republican sychopants who are in Congress now will do whatever he says. A bipartisan border bill was killed before Trump even got re-elected[0] simply because he didn't want it passed.
And scheduling a call between Indonesia's President and Eric Trump[0].
> In a private exchange picked up by microphones, the Indonesian leader asked to meet Eric Trump, to which the president answered, “I’ll have Eric call you,”
> We’re building a great hotel, and that’s going to start very soon. And I never met the president, and I used to go over there quite a bit. And obviously we manage teams over there, and it’s pretty amazing that he knew who I was. And, you know, it’s obviously — I don’t get involved in politics in Indonesia — but when I heard that, I started laughing. ‘Can I please meet Eric?’ He must know the projects very well.
