I have never in my life seen a more petty, childish, bitter, soon-to-be ex-president of the United States.

Where it would be improper and illegal would be if there was actual collusion in those efforts. We don't know that.

I don't think the president should base his foreign policy on American public opinion polls, let alone foreign public opinion polls.
