We've thought you were all bonkers before, and I'm sure we will again.
I said "allies."

I agree. The USA has an image for other countries, not only stuff like you show above, but other ways too. I think that we often forget that.

One of the criticisms of the previous administration was how it presented itself on the world stage.
Strangely, all those critics are silent now. One has to wonder why. Is it because they agree with this image, because it would be politically incorrect to disagree with the image, or what?

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

I think the reason is was that President Trump was much more the cause.
The tweet you showed above, I would guess that 99+% of the world has no clue about it. I actually would no knowledge of it unless I saw it here.
Contrast that with something done by the President. Much more local and worldwide notice.
(and before anybody says anything, the local news in Thailand, Taiwan, country X, etc. is not part of some conspiracy against President Trump. LOL)

True.
But, this photo was taken at the French Ambassador's residence. The diplomat.
So, wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall listening to the conversations in the residence?

Sorry but this didn’t come before I said it. It came after I said it, so this doesn’t count.

Pup Handler?
Sam Brinton, one of the first “openly genderfluid individuals in federal government leadership,” was charged with felony theft last month after allegedly stealing a woman’s luggage at MSP Airport.
The MIT grad went viral earlier this year when he announced his new role as the deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the U.S. Department of Energy.
“As one of if not the very first openly genderfluid individuals in federal government leadership, I was welcomed with open arms into the Department of Energy all the way up to the Secretary whom I shared the stage with in a Pride month celebration panel just today,” Brinton wrote on Twitter at the time.
He said he is not a Biden appointee but instead was hired as a career employee in the Senior Executive Service. Brinton accepted the job in February and began in June, according to media reports.
Prior to working in government, Brinton was an anti-conversion therapy activist who taught “Kink 101” workshops on college campuses, according to The National Pulse. A photo from one of these workshops shows Brinton in a dress as he stands over three males in leather dog masks.
Brinton discussed his “pup play” fetish in a 2016 Metro Weekly article, The Pulse reports.
“One of the hardest things about being a handler is that I’ve honestly had people ask, ‘Wait, you have sex with animals?’” Brinton said. “They believe it’s abusive, that it’s taking advantage of someone who may not be acting up to a level of human responsibility … The other misperception is that I have some really messed up background, like, did I have some horrible childhood trauma that made me like to have sex with animals?”
