    2016 MAGA = “We have to elect Trump because the world is laughing at us!”

    2026 MAGA = “Who cares what the rest of the world thinks?”

        I don’t think he (E: since previous comment was deleted, he is referring Obama) was overvalued, from a European perspective he was the best, or at least one of the best American presidents ever, defintely the beginning of the US’ post-ww2 world dominance. I’m not saying the best human being, i’m saying best American president. It’s a matter of one in relation to the rest.

            What part of 70000 innocent civilians killed with illegal drone attacks was it you didn’t get?

            What part of “I’m not saying the best human being, i’m saying best American president. It’s a matter of one in relation to the rest.” was it you didn’t get?

    Yeah the US was already quite unpopular in many areas of the world, and now they’re doing their best to alienate those who supported them, so…

    Not surprising. The US has dropped below shit-hole country status into murderous, pedophile, child-trafficking territory.

    Even better, Puerto Rico was rated 26 points higher than the USA (the scale technically spans 200 points, but the difference between the highest and lowest rated countries is only 55 points, so that’s a HUGE difference). I bet that makes trump mad.

    Only Iran, Afghanistan, North Korea, and Israel were rated worse.

    Makes sense. Anyone who had a positive view of Russia is already in support of them being horrible, while the international activities of the US have gotten a lot worse since the election. The current government isn’t going to fulfill any of what might have given anyone a positive outlook on its foreign or domestic policy, while those who have some political incentive to be pro-Russia aren’t suddenly going to change their mind just because the US is acting more like them.

    It won’t get the administration’s attention, but hopefully the drop in international popularity is embarrassing enough that people might vote differently in the midterms and in 2028. It seemed to make a difference when George W was in office.

    Looks like whatever the enemies of the US have been planning has been working out great!

    Bye bye, soft power, goodbye allies.
