Do you think they all should have reported Trump's actions/words immediately to the FBI or the United Nations or some other reputable body? Was the onus on them to flag that conduct? Can they be forgiven for thinking that they just have to put up with the so-called "leader of the free world" and longtime grifter as this is consequently the new "normal" in foreign relations with the U.S.?
Will your respect for foreign heads of state plummet if/when we find out they too were leaned on by Trump for this favor or that in return for something else and they remained quiet?
