President Donald Trump humiliated himself Monday at a summit of world leaders gathered to sign a peace agreement between Israel and Hamas.

In a room full of world leaders the U.S. president claimed that his opinion was the only one that mattered, while directly praising Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, who has become something of a model leader for those on the contemporary right after he systematically weakened his country’s free press, replacing it with a state-controlled propaganda machine.

“You are fantastic, all right? I know a lot of people don’t agree with me, but I’m the only one that matters. You are fantastic,” Trump said. “He’s a great leader. I endorsed him in the last election he had, and he won by 28 points. You’re gonna do even better next time.”

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni had a pained expression as she stood behind the babbling U.S. president. She looked particularly horrified as Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said he’d nominate Trump for a Nobel Peace Prize, which the U.S. president lost last week.

In another cringeworthy moment, Trump turned his attention to Meloni to fawn over her appearance.

“We have a woman, a young woman, who’s uh—I’m not allowed to say it ’cause it’s usually the end of your political career if you say it. She’s a beautiful young woman. Now if you use the word ‘beautiful’ in the United States about a woman, that’s the end of your political career, but I’ll take my chances,” Trump said.

      This is just a thing he loves to say. He really needs to make the point that he’s a victim for being such a pussy magnet.

    The really pathetic part is how other world leaders standing on stage are just letting him control the whole narrative and drag them around on a fucking leash.

    How many fucking times has he said almost exactly this same thing, though? Surely someone has a supercut or is working on one right now…

    "This man is doing great. That man is a good politician. That woman is pretty. "

    Are the men not handsome? Why not remark on how beautiful they are? /s

    And perhaps also acknowledge that a woman is more than just eye candy

    Holy fuck. Somebody remove him from office, please.

    What a fucking embarrassment.

    This is not the country I voluntarily served to protect.

    Even he doesn’t know the version of his truth he wants to put forward. I bet he’s lied differently to every single leader there.
