Donald Trump is popular in Mexico, which suffers under the drug cartels.
The claim, internationally, is that Trump's position on the media is validating and supporting violent dictators' actions.

Silly Germans. Go back to being raped by your loving military age middle eastern immigrants brought to you by the Left.
So it is better to be better if Germans are raped by Non - Arabic Germans??? Wow !

Secret Service don't pay when they go to Mar a Lago with the president. The president has a house at Mar a Lago. They sleep in that house for free. Prime Minster Abe slept there for free.
well, the world can just STFU and eat crow, their freedom to opine has been noted, and duly ignored.

...your claims can't be taken seriously...unless you're speaking to like-minded individuals. You will ALWAYS only see the negative until Trump's presidency is over.
What claims?
Trump Dictatorship Makes News Around the World

Here's a pretty balanced report on costs, basically saying we don't know yet. But let's not forget the other main issues raised (outside the US): a) using the US Presidency to promote personal business interests and profit directly, and b) the dangers created for foreign journalists by demonizing critical media and anonymous sources.
How much is President Trump's travel actually costing American taxpayers?
...REIMBURSEMENT:
The big question is how much President Trump will have to repay taxpayers for these trips.
The answer depends on how his visits to Mar-a-Lago are categorized.
So far, the White House says Trump’s visits to his Winter White House were working trips. He hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe one weekend and interviewed candidates for National Security Advisor the next.
That would mean Trump wouldn’t have to pay, and the cost of the trips wouldn’t be counted in his travel total.
Critics point out that Trump could have done both of these things from the White House or Camp David and not burdened taxpayers with additional costs.
EXTRAPOLATION:
If Trump’s three trips to Mar-a-Lago did take $10.6 million out of local and federal tax coffers, that’s nearly as much as Obama spent on personal travel per year.
It would also put him on track to outpace Obama’s eight year total by the end of 2017.
But...
BOTTOM LINE:
It’s always an expensive proposition for the U.S. president to travel and it’s too early to tell what travel costs during the Trump administration will look like.

lol. I seriously doubt the international community is into US partisanship.
...Am I really the only ATS member who reads the international press, not to mention between the lines?
And oh yeah, the phrase "Trump dictatorship" is bandied about. Can't remember where I picked it up.
