Quote:Since Donald Trump took office as president, the image of the United States has suffered across many regions of the globe. As a new 13-nation Pew Research Center survey illustrates, America’s reputation has declined further over the past year among many key allies and partners. In several countries, the share of the public with a favorable view of the U.S. is as low as it has been at any point since the Center began polling on this topic nearly two decades ago.
Who cares what they think of Trump or the U.S.? They had best be careful the next time they come around with their hands out. Just like dem cities and states that are mismanaged and deep in debt are finding out, if you bad mouth this administration, let your cities burn while trying to blame the Federal Government, "no soup for you!"

Shocking. The leader of a country that no longer lets its nation be taken advantage of is not as popular as previous leaders that gave away the farm for free.
Interestingly---the most disliked and distrusted president got a peace deal done in the Middle East. Just saying, he might not be as well liked, but irrespective of what this survey shows, apparently foreign leaders seem to actually respect the US wishes more than they have in the past. After ignoring years of requests to increase defense spending, European nations are now paying more of their own defense costs. New bilateral trade deals have come together. Nations are falling in line with the new US policies on Iran and the Middle East. Iran is in full retreat. China is finally being challenged.
It turns out putting America first actually results in better results for America. Shocking.

Sure... Everybody loves the richest guy in the room (by that I mean the US) when he's buying everyone's dinner. The minute he demands that you still eat at the same expensive restaurant (pay for military support or climate change or whatever) and yet you have to pay your fair share of the bill, he's a jerk.
As he said, we're no longer the suckers at the dinner table.
As to how we've handled the virus, how the eff would any of them know?
Russia and China don't tell the truth about COVID. The fact that they are even included in here is laughable.
The death rate in France is .048%
The death rate in the UK is .063%
The death rate in the US is .059%
The death rate in Germany is exemplary at .011%. The others have no room to talk.
Now lets look at some other figures...
UK population is 86% European white 7.5% Asian and 3.3% Black
German population is almost 90% European White, 3% Asian and 0.5% Black
France 85% European white 3.3% black and 1.7% Asian
US is 60% European white 18% Hispanic, 13% black and 6% Asian
and yet WE are the racist country?? lol?
Do you think they care what we think of their racial diversity? I bet if you poll them, they'd say we were more racist than they are.
1. How can any sane person look at that and not realize there are some serious mental issues there, and
2. I clicked on the link and the very first reply to that is this example of Trump/Pence supporters...
