He is setting a very bad example for other countries who may have wanted to emulate the USA, it seems.

Not only that, but his poor behavior as a "leader" of a democracy tends toward encouraging and emboldening abusive, authoritarian systems and leaders, as well as inspiring more populist, right-leaning movements.

No, this train wreck conductor is a pox on the planet, politically and the infection is global.
