McClatchy: The world's diplomatic community is laughing at Trump over the leaked Mexico transcript.
WASHINGTON
When Jorge Guajardo, one of Mexicos most senior and seasoned foreign policy hands, got out of bed Thursday morning, a couple of interesting messages were waiting on his cell phone.
One was a link shared by a U.S. diplomat to the leaked transcript of a phone conversation between U.S. President Donald Trump and Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto. In the second, a former Mexican official offered the quick analysis.
Hes the opposite of Teddy Roosevelt, that official quipped to Guajardo about Trump. He speaks loudly and carries a small stick.
Seven months into the Trump administration, the worlds diplomatic community has gone from throwing its hands in the air to now leaning back in their chairs and laughing, albeit morosely, at Trumps cringe-worthy display of diplomacy during the infancy of his presidency.
