“Many leaders around the world are kissing my *ss…” – Donald J. Trump
Washington, D.C. — In a shocking display of crassness, President Donald Trump has once again thrust the United States into an uncomfortable spotlight on the global stage.
Speaking at a recent rally, Trump boasted that “many leaders around the world are kissing my ass” due to the tariff barriers he claims to be erecting around the globe. The remark, dripping with vulgarity and hubris, underscores the ongoing embarrassment that Trump’s unfiltered rhetoric brings to America’s international reputation.
Diplomacy, a realm historically defined by tact, decorum, and mutual respect, seems alien to Trump’s approach.
His latest outburst is not an isolated incident but rather a continuation of a pattern that has long defined his public persona—brazen, brassy, and unapologetically crude.
From his infamous “grab them by the p*ssy” comment aired on Entertainment Tonight in 2016 to his relentless attacks on foreign leaders, Trump’s language consistently undermines the dignity Americans expect from their representatives. His tariff talk, paired with this latest profanity, has left allies and adversaries alike shaking their heads.
Trump’s tariff policies, which he touts as a triumph, have been a source of contention globally.
He argues they protect American jobs, but critics—including economists and foreign leaders—warn of economic fallout, strained trade relationships, and retaliatory measures. The European Union, China, and Canada have all bristled under his trade tactics during his presidency, and his renewed threats of imposing steep tariffs signal more turbulence ahead.
Yet, it’s not just the policy that rankles; it’s the swaggering, locker-room bravado with which he delivers it. “Kissing my *ss” is not a phrase that belongs in the lexicon of statesmanship—it’s a line more suited to a reality TV rant than a leader of the free world.
World leaders have not stayed silent.
French President Emmanuel Macron, known for his measured diplomacy, has previously called Trump’s trade moves “unacceptable,” while German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has warned of a “lose-lose” scenario.
Even allies like the United Kingdom, historically tethered to the U.S. through a “special relationship,” have expressed unease. British Foreign Secretary David Lammy recently sidestepped a question about Trump’s rhetoric but pointedly emphasized the need for “respectful dialogue.” The subtext was clear: Trump’s style is a diplomatic liability.
For Americans, the embarrassment cuts deeper.
The United States, once a beacon of democratic ideals and moral authority, now finds its image tarnished by a figure who revels in provocation. Trump’s supporters may cheer his bluntness as authenticity, but to much of the world, it’s a sign of decline—a superpower reduced to schoolyard taunts.
His “kissing my *ss” quip isn’t just a personal failing; it’s a national humiliation, amplifying the perception that the U.S. has lost its way.

The tariff saga itself is a messy affair.
Trump’s narrative paints him as a master negotiator bending global powers to his will, but the reality is less flattering. During his presidency, his trade war with China led to billions in losses for American farmers, propped up only by taxpayer-funded bailouts.
His threats of blanket tariffs—up to 20% on all imports, as he’s floated recently—could spike consumer prices and disrupt supply chains, hitting working-class Americans hardest. Far from groveling, many nations are preparing countermeasures, not capitulation.
Trump’s defenders argue he’s a disruptor, shaking up a stale system.
But disruption without finesse is chaos, and his rhetoric only deepens the damage. His past insults—calling Mexican immigrants “rapists,” mocking Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as “weak,” or dismissing African nations as “sh!thole countries”—linger in global memory. The “kissing my *ss” remark is just the latest in a litany of shame, a reminder that Trump’s voice still echoes far beyond America’s borders.
As the 2024 election looms, Trump’s bombast remains a polarizing force.
To his base, he’s a warrior against elitism; to critics, he’s a wrecking ball to America’s credibility. The world watches, not with admiration, but with a mix of disbelief and pity. If Trump’s vision of leadership is one where global powers grovel at his feet, he’s sorely mistaken.
The only thing bending is the pride of a nation forced to endure his vulgar spotlight. For the United States, the cost of Trump’s words may outlast the tariffs themselves—a legacy of embarrassment etched into the annals of history.
