He's got the whole world running around in circles (Bloomberg):

US President Donald Trump's proposed Board of Peace has got off to a rough start: questioned by Europe, criticized by Israel and celebrated by friends of the Kremlin.

France's Emmanuel Macron, for one, has come right out of the gate to decline an invitation that was also extended to strongmen such as Belarus's autocratic leader Alexander Lukashenko. Several liberal democracies are squirming, uncertain how to respond and not wanting to offend Trump.

He invited Putin for heaven's sake, the man who invaded Ukraine and is currently raining down bombs on its capitol.

Get a load of this:

They don't have long to decide.

Trump wants the full constitution and remit of the committee signed in Davos on Thursday, according to people familiar with the matter. But some elements of the small print have left invitees wondering whether to accept.

Jesus Christ. JUST SAY NO!!! You can't appease him, he's crazy as a loon. Haven't they learned that by now??? He wants another fucking ceremony!!! Don't give it to him. This is ridiculous. (Emphasis mine)
