Sure, there was a time on the 19th century when all American presidents were all like that. But the U.S. were a very different country back then, the Federal government was a lot less powerful.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_World
Italy, Turkey and Russia were pretty much not third world countries when that word had a political meaning.
Later on it became a synonym for developing world, which basically rules out most of the rest of your list, since Brazil, Argentina and Philippines aren't on that list either.
So I assume you just use it a slur, meaning that those countries have a dysfunctional political systems, with corrupted strongmen; ok, I guess; just say "corrupt, failed, authoritarian political systems"; third world brings too much baggage, needlessly insulting people who live in those countries and who produce vibrant economies that have nothing to do the perception of starving masses associated with the "third world" slur.
Doesn’t help that we’ve had God Emperors like FDR.
The American president has also been mythologized. They’re calling all the shots and doing whatever. Unfortunately that means they can trample over the Constitution and only the opposing party usually cares.
The republicans didn't even ratify any policies at the RNC this year.
Obviously you have to support your guy, but if I said to you a majority / near-majority of the speakers at the convention were family and friends of the President would you think of a some backward state or the most powerful democracy in the world.
But yea the major party duopoly is gross and has been for a while now. The dynastic families are insufferable.
BUT I have to say that even in my 3rd world country, President/Prime Minister tier leaders rarely, if ever, succumb to the kind of rhetoric Trump uses. Usually, that's reserved for tier-2 leaders.
The tables are completely turned. America has become the country to show pity towards.
Unless America changes its way of governance this Fall, 4 more years and what exactly is the difference between America and Brazil?
I recall, probably in the 80's, an incident where the US government objected to a foreign aid organisation distributing food aid in the US on equal basis to the kind of food aid programs operated in third world countries.
Several European countries also refers to "American conditions" as a threat of chaos during political debates. E.g. I grew up in Norway, where the threat of "American conditions" was a common scare-tactic by the left to get people to oppose right wing policies. This was decades ago - the first threats of "American conditions dates back more than half a century.
This is because poorer countries have seen this story before. They didn't need a war to make them poor. Their incompetent leadership over years was enough.
My greatest fear is Trumpism is a harbinger for a half century or more of American instability and decline, the same way Peronism was.
