morning, and welcome to "a.m. joy." barely two weeks since donald trump became president the world has erupted in opposition and resistance that shows no signs of slowing . there's been another round of global protests this weekend, this time in opposition to trump's travel ban targeting seven predominantly muslim countries. here in the u.s., it's sometimes been difficult to tell our allies from our adversaries since nearly all of them have been subjected to the same trump treatment. well, with the exception of russia. a leaked transcript of the call between trump and mexican president enrique pina nieto says trump threatened to send troops to stop bad hombres down there. the trump administration denies any such thing was said. the white house characterized the comments as lighthearted. the official account of a phone call between trump and australian prime minister turnbull painted a harmony. but officials leaked it saying he used it to get crowds. trump replied, this is the worst deal ever. and eventually ended the call more than half an hour early. it's a sentiment repeated via twit

and the prime minister of australia. mr. trump also telling that country's president that he is doing a terrible job with tough hombres. >> tough talk for iran as well. the president's new national security advisor warned the iranians they're on notice for testing a ballistic missile. the white house not elaborating on how it will walk that talk but trump has been using the term this morning on twitter. all of this happening before rex tillerson begins his first day as secretary of state. and it's been tested on the world stage and as we're learning that a series of curtesy call with our allies have now become confrontational. >> new tension between president trump and a major u.s. ally. sources say the president grew angry during a phone call with australia's prime minister last saturday. president trump calling the australian refugee agreement a very bad deal. that resettlement deal reached by the obama administration will transfer refugees living in detention centers on islands off australia to the u.s. >> i'm not going to comment on the conversation. >> the prime minister re

( laughter ) her performance was amazing. i loved it. from the time she itsy-bitsy ga-ga'd her way down the stage -- yeah, it's like if elton john reimagined "mission impossible." then she dropped her mic, herself -- what is that? it's like she jumped into super mario and came out in the underground world.
