Have we had 'mad' female leaders that are comparable to Trump? I can only think of Thatcher ATM. Maybe if Imelda Marcos had ruled in place of her hubby?

Even the King of England.

It’s only weak men with weak egos that need ‘stroking’ … a woman of Trumps calibre wouldn’t get near leading a country and if she did she wouldn’t last …. See Truss for example … USA are going to endure a ‘term’ with a leader in the same league as truss b/c he’s a man with $$$$$$$$ backing … 👎🏼

Only in fictional form. It is disguising and enraging.

Me too. He's a bell end, a convicted felon man baby but because he's the POTUS, leaders have to chirp around him in case they miss the treats he might dispense, or worse, take umbrage. It's pathetic and sums up politics at the moment. At least Dodd has some principles.

Chances are, an elected qualified woman wouldn’t be remotely as needy

So right. This is just a boys’ club now.
Dicks on the table (as a former female boss of mine used to say).

He’s all ego. It’s hilariously shallow. And malleable.

To be fair, no female leader would be quite this bonkers and needy

I compared it to the Emperor's new clothes; all these visiting leaders paying tribute to a narcissist, watching their words so as not to upset the mercurial character of Trump, allowing lies to go unchallenged, while being fearful of the possibility of some innocent shouting "Trump is a gobshite".

Yes but he has big guns and we all depend on their military arsenal (especially in U.K.)

Agreed.

They are all as mad as he is, they have capitulated to the mad king and it is disgusting. There will be consequences!

I can't imagine a female leader being that fragile and needy. And I can't imagine a female leader falling for this shit.
