Russia is top of the list of foreign countries the president tweets about
HOW DOES the world look to President Donald Trump? He certainly likes the pomp and ceremony of foreign monarchies. His first trip abroad as president was to Saudi Arabia, where he took part in a sword dance with King Salman and other Gulf royals. In Japan last month he was treated to a six-course black-tie banquet with Emperor Naruhito, complete with Mt. Fuji-shaped ice cream .
But to judge from his Twitter feed, at least, Mr Trump’s mind is mostly elsewhere when he thinks about the globe. Worldmapper, an academic mapping outfit, analysed nearly 8,300 tweets issued by Mr Trump between his election in November 2016 and May this year. Of these, 1,384 mentioned foreign countries.
Not that being mentioned in Mr Trump’s tweets is necessarily a sign of friendship. Often the opposite is true. Moments before touching down at Stansted Airport, the president was already on Twitter, issuing a bilious message denouncing Sadiq Khan, London’s mayor, as a “stone cold loser” . During his stay in London, Mr Trump harrumphed about Mexico, declaring that it “immediately stop the flow of people and drugs through their country and to our Southern Border.
