Mainecat Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 How true is this..... Trump Is One of the Worst Leaders on Earth, According to the Rest of the World The failed U.S. response to the pandemic has absolutely trashed the nation's standing among its allies. PB By Paul Blest People in more than a dozen countries around the world have virtually no confidence in Donald Trump, and believe the U.S. has royally screwed up its coronavirus response, according to a Pew survey of American-allied countries around the globe. In some countries that are closely allied with the United States, such as the United Kingdom, confidence is the lowest it’s ever been (41%). In others, such as France and Germany, only around 25% of respondents have confidence in the U.S., matching the country’s poor global standing in March 2003, when the United States invaded Iraq. In all but one of the 13 countries included in the survey—which includes countries from western Europe and east Asia, as well as Australia and Canada—a clear majority have an unfavorable view of the United States. Among those 13 countries, just 16% of those surveyed expressed confidence in Trump to do the right thing regarding world affairs, as opposed to 83% who did not have confidence in him to do that. Just 34% of those surveyed held a favorable view of the United States in general. The only country that did not hold an unfavorable view of the U.S. is South Korea, with which Trump has attempted to broker a deal to end long standing tensions with North Korea. Fifty-nine percent of those polled hold a favorable view of the United States, but just 17% have confidence in Trump, down drastically from 46% last year. By comparison, South Korea’s confidence in former U.S. President Former Vice President Joe Biden has repeatedly attacked Trump’s foreign policy and relationship with the governments of allied countries, and promised to restore America’s standing around the globe. Trump has “recklessly and routinely taken a battering ram to the pillars of America’s democracy — repeatedly attacking our institutions and values — amplified racist hatred for his own political ends, and traded the friendship of our democratic allies for photo ops with authoritarians and dictators,” Biden said in a statement on Tuesday, in commemoration of the International Day of Democracy. ADVERTISEMENT Among top world leaders, Trump is the most widely loathed as well, with fewer people expressing confidence in him to do the right thing regarding world affairs (16%) than Russia’s Vladimir Putin (22%) or China’s Xi Jinping (19%). By comparison, 76% of respondents expressed confidence in German chancellor Angela Merkel to do the right thing. It appears, however, that the Trump administration’s response to the coronavirus has done more than Trump’s foreign policy to ruin both his and America’s reputation around the globe. Trump pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization earlier this year, and continued to insist as recently as Tuesday that China was unilaterally at fault for the nearly 200,000 American deaths as a result of COVID-19. “It was China's fault. I don't care how you want to define it. This was China's fault,” Trump said during a town hall with ABC News on Tuesday. But around the world, most people don’t see it that way. Among all 13 countries surveyed, the U.,S. response to coronavirus received the worst marks by far, compared with the World Health Organization, the European Union, the respondent’s own country, and China. Whereas 37% said China has done a good job containing the coronavirus outbreak, just 15% expressed the same view of the United States. If all else fails, however, Trump can at least rest easy knowing he has more support from European nationalists. Among members of 11 of the most far-right parties in Europe, Pew found that confidence in Trump markedly improved relative to people in that country who don’t support the far right. In Spain, for example, 45% of members of the neo-Francoist Vox partyexpressed confidence in Trump to do the right thing regarding world affairs. Among non-Vox members in Spain, just 7% did. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/xg89e4/trump-is-one-of-the-worst-world-leaders-on-earth-according-to-the-rest-of-the-world?fbclid=IwAR2IHlQOmWENOEA103pamFPQBxQvA5QBwbDovaxQfpR3Uz-ycIwMTI-7BlY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry ginger Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 WGAF what the rest of the world thinks. they loved them the sharp dressed black man who was an empty suit. Trumps way of doing things sucks but there is no doubt he is more pro america than the Obamas. Both lined the pockets of their rich friends but at least Trump pays lip service to the average joe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who watches knows that they are 100% partisan and why should we care what the rest of the world thinks? We shouldn't. Trump has done nothing but good when it comes to actions around the world. His ban on travel from certain countries to the US was done by other US presidents but just because it was Trump it was considered wrong. Many US Presidents said they would move the US embassy in Israel....Trump actually did it but somehow now it was wrong. Historic peace deal that may expand to include other Arab countries. Continues lowering our troop presence in the ME. Again if anyone but Trump did this it would be praised. Provided lethal weapons to Ukraine so they could fight "rebels" backed by Russia. Obama gave them MRE's and bandages. Under his admin made more human trafficking arrests than any admin in history. 4-5x's more. Was the ONLY admin to stand up to China......PERIOD.

Biden is the worst candidate nominated by the 2 major party's in modern history bar none. Gary Johnson was maybe as bad but he was the Libertarian parties nominee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuck them if they don't like it. They still need us at the end of the day. The one thing trumps consistently right on is America first. He may have zero clue how to go about it but this country was a far better place before we started worrying about the fringes and what others think about us. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
