World Regard for US Leadership Hits All Time Low

I love how the only way people criticize Trump is when he uses bad words and through polls. Let me know how polls worked the last time you tried them.

Also, majority of people are idiots when it comes to politics/economics/world issues, so these polls are almost meaningless.
 
It's bound to be like that coz everyone hates Trump, doesn't matter what he does.
 
yet im happy as fuck living here and im glad there's 2 oceans separating us from the rest of those shit holes.

I also criticize him for the fact that he is a fat fuck who pays porn stars for sex while pandering to the religious right while hollowing out healthcare after running on universal healthcare and increasing the military budget by 112 billion after running on noninterventionism and then naming Jerusalem the capital of Israel and then cutting taxes even though he ran on not cutting social security, Medicare or Medicaid and then nominating a Supreme Court Judge who is going to fuck workers for a generation after running as the candidate of the working class.

See, all that is valid for criticism and discussion (except for Gorsuch, he is a stud).

But I don't really see mainstream media getting outraged or even spending much time talking about most of that stuff. Trump reportedly saying shit-hole was a multi-national news story, probably one of the biggest throughout Trump's presidency. Trump on a tape decades ago saying that gold diggers let him grab their pussies in a private bro-like discussion is the most popular way to discredit Trump. Not that he passed through a tax bill without spending cuts to justify it.

But personally I think he's had an okay first year, economy is booming beyond what Obama left behind (which at the end of the day is all that really matters), Gorsuch, he's for the most part defeated ISIS, reduced illegal immigration by a large margin, new tax plan is showing that it will in fact lead to growth (as opposed to people telling me that it wouldn't have any effect), and withdrawing from that terrible climate accord. For a guy with no political experience or many connections, I think he's done great for himself. For the negatives above I think some of these things balance it out and overall it's a decent year for a guy with little experience and momentum.
 
At least US politics is hilarious atm.

My countrys politics is just sad atm.

What was terrible about the climate accord in your opinion?
 
What was terrible about the climate accord in your opinion?
It would have hurt America, and wasn't an effective policy. It was essentially a scheme for poorer countries to get money from wealthier ones (and who is to assume these countries would be honest with that money). There we little (if any) repercussions for failing to meet the Paris accord emission goals.

Goals are voluntary and as you correctly stated there are little if any repercussions for failing to meet the goals , how exactly do you think it was a scheme to funnel money to poor countries?
 
the most successful contries or businesses or teams, etc. are always the most hated. look at the Patriots or the Yankees, etc. People not from there HATE them. Why? the main reason is success. So i dont really care about what a bunch of other less successful people think about us. that mindset is for the weak. i guarantee if tomorrow we were on par with Peru or some shit, all of a sudden we would be loved.
 
That map is telling. Some countries clearly support what we're doing and some countries clearly do not. Who would have ever thought that Americans would be championing a loss of regard by England and an increase by Central Africa?

Even crazier, for all of the people who claim that we should be focused on the preservation of Western Society...western society disapproves while eastern society approves. o_O

It's almost as if the policies being presented actually work against the shared philosophy of Western societies and the countries that grew out of Western Europe's global expansion. :eek:

Seriously, think about the divergence on that map for a moment and what shared values seem to think.
Some of those countries like parts of African continent which you say have an 'improvement' in their 'regard' for the US probably always had a low rate of approval in the first place so their level of 'regard' can't sink lower.

And the 'eastern society' as shown by the map graphics seems to disapprove. The far east and south Asia are all red. No data on China or no significant change reported.
 
Goals are voluntary and as you correctly stated there are little if any repercussions for failing to meet the goals , how exactly do you think it was a scheme to funnel money to poor countries?
According to the accord, $100b/year would be sent to poorer countries to invest in greener energy sources, except it didn't enforce anything, so countries could just take money without meeting any goals or standards. For the more corrupt nations it could literally just be a handout of billions to the leader in charge.
 
World is triggered by Trump? Lol, I think that's obvious. The US has gone from "let's enrich and embolden other countries (especially Iran . Nth Korea) at our expense" to "MAGA / America first".

Wow whoever would have thought that leadership from a foreign leader that would put a halt to the gravy train of aid and handouts would cause such negativity?
 
eh, Much of the population of the US was very unhappy with the direction the country was going. We didn't really vote for Trump, the man. We voted for something different. And we got it, for better or worse.


By "much of the population" you mean the 11 people you know from town.

Other than that where was the majority that wasn't unhappy. Out of curiosity.

WTF are you talking about? All those topics have been discussed at length by mainstream media on top of all the other idiocy that Trump has done...

The tax cut proposal was discussed for weeks before it was voted on and then again trashed after the vote. I was on travel the week it was voted and that's all they talked about on CNN, MSNBC and Fox..

All the important issues are discussed on mainstream media but you tend to focus on the garbage shit they also air...
