Donald Trump is decidedly less than pleased with the media’s attempt to paint him as a global laughingstock by focusing on foreign leaders appearing to mock him. According to Trump, said foreign leaders only have “deep respect” for his stewardship of America:
The Fake News Media is doing everything possible to belittle my VERY successful trip to London for NATO. I got along great with the NATO leaders, even getting them to pay $130 Billion a year more, & $400 Billion a year more in 3 years. No increase for U.S., only deep respect!

Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell isn’t buying Trump’s chosen interpretation of events, however, and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do a little mockery of his own:
They laughed you out of Europe. https://t.co/EMdWO5jo2v

That might be a cute retort if it weren’t coming from, you know, Eric Swalwell, a man notorious for being the butt of jokes.

And not only that, but unlike Donald Trump, Eric Swalwell will never have the chance to be POTUS.
Eric… you’re on no better footing after being laughed out of the nomination race.

America laughed you out of the 2020 election.

And Swalwell can look forward to being laughed out of any future presidential elections. Assuming he’s dumb enough to run again. And given his history, we’d say that’s a pretty safe assumption.
