This is not meant to be a thread about partisan politics. Every ex President has written memoirs and made money off of it, this is not a news flash. The thread is about his observations on other world leaders which strike me as likely honest as he is NO LONGER PRESIDENT (HELLO!!!) and has no reason to engage in politically correct speech nor does it appear that he has done so. I am therefore taking his observations as likely honest. That is the only discussion I intended to start here, the perception of other world leaders vs. what they are in reality. There are other threads for partisan politics. Every post here is off topic except mine.
