Comedian and TikToker Cody Dahler is going viral after sharing his impression of world leaders attempting to draft congratulatory messages to President-elect Donald Trump.
Donning a suit and sitting at a laptop, Dahler captured the frustration of world leaders who are bracing themselves for what a second Trump administration will mean for international politics.
He says:
"Congratulations President-elect Donald Trump...nah, I can't do it. I can't do it. I know I have to do it, I'm not an idiot!"
After "speaking" to someone off-camera and "consoling" himself, he attempts to write a letter again only to mime vomiting.
He continues:
"I greatly look forward to working with you...[bursts out laughing]...no, no I can't write that, that's not believable, that's ridiculous!"
"You fought an excellent campaign based on racism and division...Yes, I know, I can't write that!"
"Our two nations share an unbreakable bond until of course you decide to break that bond for no particular reason. ...What's wrong with that?"
"I cannot wait to smell your fake tan once again... What? That's personal! That's nice! I like the smell of fake tans, that's a nice thing to say!"
"Congratulations once again you big orange tit."

According to The New York Times, in the months leading up to Trump’s political resurgence—and especially since his victory was confirmed—foreign leaders have been eager to rebuild ties with him. Their envoys are actively connecting with Trump’s allies and think tanks likely to shape policies in a second administration.
Leaders like Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky are drafting strategies to appeal to Trump’s deal-oriented mindset, while Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has sent teams of officials to meet with Republican figures, hoping to temper Trump’s more extreme ideas on tariffs.
Yet, history shows that these efforts may fall short; by the end of his first term, Trump’s trade policies, resistance to alliances, and unpredictable nature strained his relationships with several leaders he initially favored.
