Lol of course...america was like the pushover friend to all who always paid for everyone's dinner in a group outing. Or allowed unwanted visitors a place to stay...not anymore. We were taken advantage of for years. I always supported protectionist policies and those are never popular with other nations. For starters, pay your fair share for NATO, we will join a climate or trade deal when it actually benefits Americans and open your own doors to refugees and illegals if you like them so much. #MAGA 19 trillion in debt

Now we have narrowed it down from the world to "Politically engaged Europeans".

If you're that determined to be blissfully unaware that Trump is losing a valuable asset for your country, far be it from me to try and convince you otherwise.

We were in London when Bush was in office, Bush was not popular. But Trump seems to want to alienate every ally except the dictators. His kindest words seem to be reserved for Putin or Duterte. Some day Republicans are going to want our real friends back.

Polls are funny things. You can manipulate them so easily.
Target a specific group. Word the questions in a way to deliver the desired results. Limit responses. I have almost zero faith in polls.

The vast majority of people don't even know who our president is or at best, some vague idea. They know the bombs are being dropped by the United States so they dislike all of us.

I did not vote for Trump and I have supported very little of what he has done. There is plenty to not like about him without making stuff up.

Except Trump is hugely popular in Russia, because they see how easily Putin can manipulate him. Now Putin is threatening to target American aircraft flying west of the Euphrates. What a friend! I'm not holding my breath for free vodka.

For Trump, it is "Saudia Arabia First" (we all saw him bowing and scraping to his master, the Saudi King, a Muslim, because he has the big bucks that Trump admires), Russia second, Israel third, and America a distant fourth. The rest of the world is useless to Trump.

Trump Unpopular Worldwide, American Image Suffers | Pew Research Center

"Trump and many of his key policies are broadly unpopular around the globe, and ratings for the U.S. have declined steeply in many nations. According to a new Pew Research Center survey spanning 37 nations, a median of just 22% has confidence in Trump to do the right thin"

36% here and 22% everywhere else.

I wonder if there is an Elephant in the Room.
They trust Putin more than trump, how much 6 months can change the world is amazing. We are going to pay for this mistake in a Big Way.

Ever notice that the very same people who constantly scream we're a Christian nation are the first to complain about us helping less fortunate places and they want us to just ditch them and let them suffer.
