(CNN) - Donald Trump is the heavy favorite to win Tuesday's Republican caucuses in Nevada, and the possibility of a Trump presidency is not sitting well with a number of world leaders.
"Divisive, stupid and wrong," said British Prime Minister David Cameron when Trump wanted to ban Muslims from travelling to the U.S.
And the "great wall" of Trump to keep illegal Mexican immigrants out of the U.S.? Pope Francis called it "not Christian."
"Enormous ignorance" and "irresponsible" is how Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto described Trump's wall.
Even his former business partner Prince Alwaleed of Saudi Arabia - who says he bailed Trump out of at least two financial transactions in which Trump was underwater - called Trump "a disgrace."
Trump's response: He called the prince "dopey."
The only world leader with a kind word for Trump has been Russian President Vladimir Putin. "A very colourful and talented man," Putin said of Trump.
That may be, but even Harry Potter creator JK Rowling had denounced Trump as "worse than Voldemort."
With Trump the leading Republican contender, world leaders may actually have to give some thought on how to deal with a possible He Who Must Not Be Named for president.
