In the free world people have a choice about who their leaders are. No one outside America has a choice about who the American president is and nor does (s)he decide on any laws outside of the US. All they can do is say what they would like to see happen in the outside world and be ignored by everyone whilst doing so.
That's because in the 1930s some people wanted FDR to be the world's dictator.
