His whole political history is a prime example of this, surely ?
@PaulP Sorry I fixed it, should have written "global politics".

I was trying to discuss Trump's influence on dud politicians in other countries, the low end bottom feeders are adopting his tactics pretty much everywhere you look! Trump's behaviour like a universal user manual for how to sh1t in the pool and peg the blame on someone else!

Perhaps he has emboldened a few, but he isn't the first in recent times by any means. Berlusconi and Orbán immediately spring to mind as forerunners. I've said a few times that the left is basically dead, and the world is shifting to the right, with barely any exceptions, and barely any resistance.

I would be very reluctant to attribute any trend setting to a bloke who has never had an original thought in his life.  I think that his success in being elected to the Presidency and getting the presumptive Republican nomination for the next election may have emboldened populist and totalitarian leaders.  They have more ruthless and successful (if I can use that word) authoritarian figures to follow, as has the likely Republican nomination himself.

Interesting...
We're now getting regular incidents of Trump making gaffes or saying the wrong thing or things out of context...not in the calculated way  he has done in the past,  but more in line with an elderly man with diminishing faculties.
If these debates go ahead it will be interesting to see how he goes in a structured session where he is not in control.
It was kind of thought he would have little trouble outshining Biden. Rightly or wrongly that was the expectation.
So really all Biden needs to do is match Trump or go close...and he'll  get a boost.

I watched some footage of the presumptive GOP nominee at the Libertarian Party convention.  He had arranged for MAGA supporters to enter the venue early to give an impression of support but they were overwhelmed by the Libertarians’ boos.

The former President was booed when he told the Libertarians to nominate him as their presidential candidate and was booed even more when he berated them for not following his directive.

He was nominated for their ballot and received six votes out of 1051 🙄
