Drumph is a non-factor amongst global leaders

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/12/subdued-trump-make-concessions-reality-become-non-factor-g20-summit-washington-post-report/

“A president who prides himself on being the ultimate disrupter on the global stage instead played the part of reluctant diplomat here in Argentina, at the risk of making himself something of a non-factor,” the report read.


Hell, he's a non-factor anywhere!

and behave like a petulant asshole anyway when it came time to make policy decisions.

All that buddy-buddy stuff was unpopular amongst their own people given how much trash Trump talked about their nations, it had been a calculated risk to see if they could get something out of him but it failed.

So if kissing his ass doesn't work, and he's on the ropes politically/legally at home in the US anyway, why bother looking like a moron yourself by cozying up to him?

People liked him and he liked people. And he wasn't hesitant to stare down Putin.
