Back when Poland was part of the Soviet bloc, the Communist Party would bus people into Warsaw from the provinces to ensure there was a compliant crowd to welcome high-level visitors from Moscow.

Judging by a just-released poll from the Pew Research Center, President Donald Trump is heading to next week's G-20 meeting in Germany with a resounding global vote of no confidence.

President Donald Trump's decision to visit France on its national day next month at the invitation of new President Emmanuel Macron represents a shrewd political calculation by both leaders. Trump announced Wednesday that he would be in Paris on Bastille Day, July 14, for a day of pageantry at an event that will mark 100 years since the US entry into World War I. The US President, on his second trip to Europe in two weeks -- he heads to Germany for the G20 summit and Poland next week -- will bask in the pomp of his official role as commander-in-chief at a time when he is under political siege at home.

President Donald Trump has yet to condemn an attack on Muslim worshippers in London, the latest instance in which he has appeared slower to speak out about violence when Muslims are the victims.

In the wake of President Trump's exit from the Paris climate treaty, reactions from other quarters were predictably swift, nasty, sanctimonious and hypocritical. Al Gore paused near one of the private jets he takes to hector lesser mortals to say the action will bring "a global weather apocalypse."
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she's ready to defend the interests of European Union members in Brexit negotiations and doesn't see any reason for the process to be delayed by the results of the U.K.'s election. "We will try to defend the interests of our 27 members states, and Great Britain will defend its own interests," Merkel said in Mexico City on Friday after meeting with President Enrique Pena Nieto.
"Any long-term delay in the start of Brexit negotiations could, potentially be disastrous for Britain as potentially it could mean that negotiations breakdown or even simply running out of time due to a two-year deadline". Donald Tusk , the former Polish premier who will oversee the process as chair of European Union national leaders' summits, also stressed there was "no time to lose" and a need for London and Brussels to cooperate to minimise disruption for people, businesses and governments across Europe when Britain walks out in 22 months.

"The invitation has been issued and accepted and I see no reason to change that, but as far as what Sadiq Khan has said about the reassurances he's offered the people of London, I think he was entirely right to speak in the way he did," Johnson said in a BBC radio interview when asked whether Trump's state visit should be canceled.
A professor in the United Kingdom suggested on Sunday that President Donald Trump had been "genetically engineered" to be "stupid". In a tweet early Sunday morning, Trump linked a Saturday terrorist attack in London to the gun safety debate in the United States.
