Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The chief interest at Monday’s largely pointless Gaza summit in Sharm el-Sheikh lay in whether Donald Trump insulted or feted his fellow global leaders as they approached the self-styled world’s greatest peacemaker to shake hands and pose for a thumbs-up photograph.

As the host of the party, the US president had arrived – unapologetically – more than two hours late, musing to the Israeli parliament before boarding his flight from Tel Aviv that he feared his wealthy guests would already have left, leaving him with only two poor countries remaining.

He need not have worried. First up on the stage to be greeted by Trump was Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the vice-president of the United Arab Emirates. A beaming Trump pointed out Mansour’s “lovely shoes”, then pointed at him, saying: “A lot of cash, bundles of cash.” The Manchester City owner attempted to beam back happily at this self-evident truth.

Trump was the star of a reality competition show where eliminations were not determined by vote. Sure, the players had a say in who the nominees were, but Trump alone determined who was finally eliminated each week. Of course he's the sort of person who thinks his opinion is ultimately the only one that matters.

All those leaders look like fools

Depends on their goals. If they want the US powerhouse to topple, then fanning this flame is very productive.
