Well, they're child-proofing Europe & the Middle East. Maybe things'll be OK.
Even if the hairbucket in-chief shows up giving a big "Thumbs UP!!!" gesture to cultures that read a big "FU" into it. EVEN if he's flanked by 2 armed people. One holding a passel of handout laminated electoral maps. The other there for photo ops: she's there to hastily arrange his hair and undo his undie-wedgies for him. Even if he expresses disgust at the steak he's been given and spends the rest of dinner staring it down. Silently.
They've ALL been given explicit instructions as to how to endure him. That was kind, maybe. Wasn't it? Maybe the man in life isn't really as tough as all that. He must be fascinating to stare at, like a horror movie in-person. He must be a little horrifying to those who are not forced to identify him as their own "representative". What man or woman, in his presence, hasn't wondered how quickly they could take this one to the floor and please GOD shut him up. I wonder how much a periphery he needs to have, physically & personally controlled, around him.
Anyway, do these foreign professionals really, really mean to adhere to that? Aren't you pretty much allowed to insult a visitor (whether or not you mean to) on your own soil, because it's YOUR Country? We do it all the time here! That would be very classy of them to read these "handler's" rules, then to try and put themselves somehow in Trump's shoes. Maybe give him the benefit of the doubt and decide he's "eccentric". But, it would also be classy if they thought he could benefit from a few lessons in culture, and just do things the way they would, as if a grownup has come to visit them.
I have no doubt that whatever will be, will happen, God help us all.

Normal LEADERS, staring at trump, in disbelief.
Maybe he'll learn something.
Yeah, I know. 
It's like, they're expecting an adult, one they've heard is far inferior to any other US president. But, you know, an adult. 
gotten worse. 
mid flight. I'd be in if they were taking bets. I'd say 3 days tops. He'll probably feel "surrounded" very quickly, given his (halfway-legit) paranoia. 4 days if there's someone there carrying his golf clubs around cause they make him feel safe.
That's the funniest thing I've read all day...
I'm telling you, I lean on DU to make me laugh these days, and it works.
Good to see you!
It's been a while...
That would be a bad nickname for him to have in prison!
he'd be better at laundering. 
Painful, acute embarrassment is inevitable, but we may be able to live with that. redwitch!!!!
and Trump's making NEW demands that people start dragging Obama into it as if to compare Trump "favorably". I can't fathom how such a request would even be asked! How does one begin to ask/demand something like that? "Say.." "You know Don's and eccentric man..." "We have to ask you to..." "If..."
Good to see you, trof! Thanks for that.
Everyone will be telling him how great he is when he wakes up in the White House, and he will be told he just had a bad dream.
I can actually see that happening. 
on a grand scale.
He may NEED a serious lie-down after monkey-wrenching all the US's foreign relations. We, ourselves can't afford any "down time", sadly.
It doesn't take much to envision that clod yanking some dignitary's arm practically out of its socket, and then "owning" that arm by the elbow- grabbing it with his other little hand. And the dignitary's "understanding" that Trump simply can't control his behavior. Things like this keep surprising me, every time, because nobody in this country has ever laid eyes on SUCH a disastrous "presidential" spectacle. No one knows how to process this.
Thanks, lilmissmartypants!
