@guardian: This week has told us a lot about how Trump sees himself, versus how he’s viewed internationally, says Guardian US political reporter Shrai Popat. From trying to ban news organisations CNN, MS Now and Politico from accessing the White House – a move which all three outlets said “threatens press freedom and the public’s right to independent journalism free from government interference” – to delivering a speech described as “delusional and dangerous” at the biggest diplomatic event of the year, the US president attempted to present himself as a strong, undefeatable leader on the global stage. But that doesn’t seem to be working, says Popat. Instead, US allies see a leader displaying various authoritarian tactics. Watch to find out why. For more on why our columnist Kenneth Roth thought Trump’s UN speech was “an object lesson in his lawless rule and remarkable capacity for self-delusion”, head to the link in bio.

Trump thinks that the media is there for him they're not they're there for the United States and the globe and that man needs to get over himself.

Trump is trying to rule American like he acted in the reality show The Apprentice. He is an embarrassment to America.

There has always been an eldritch-level chasm between how he thinks he presents himself and how he is actually seen.

Could you talk about the female genital mutilation case happening in the Gambia? They might make it legal, making it the first in human history to make mutilation of girls legal again
