Now to think that because of throwing his hat in the political ring (maybe on a whim) he will go down as one of the very worst presidents in history (which is saying something considering the last GOP prez). I guess it's a great tragedy and a lesson of evils of hubris. Trump has ruined himself and his family name (whatever it is) for ALL TIMES.

A Sunday meeting with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi underscored the kinship, with Trump saluting his counterpart on the April release of Egyptian-American charity worker Aya Hijazi, who had been detained in the country for nearly three years.

El-Sissi invited Trump to visit him in Egypt, adding, "You are a unique personality that is capable of doing the impossible." As the participants laughed, Trump responded: "I agree."

The president then complimented el-Sissi's choice of footwear, telling his Egyptian counterpart "Love your shoes. Boy, those shoes" after their brief remarks to the press.
