Sometimes, being a voice of change is not very popular. That plus the media does a good job of smearing this president so of course he’s never going to be globally loved.
It isn't the "voice of change" or the "media smearing him" that has the rest of the world shaking their heads, it is a lot more than that. First and foremost, Donald Trump has shown himself to be a schoolyard bully and he has insulted and challenged every other country on the planet. Instead of trying to find ways to work with them, he has basically said "You will do it my way or no way", and they are saying "F you!"
I've mentioned many times before, on here, that I get foreign visitors at work daily, and always pose the same question........"So, what do you think of our new President?". Out of probably 30-40 that I have asked that of, only 2, in that entire time, have said they like him. One, a guy from Cuba, and the other a couple from Canada......who also hate Trudeau. Some of their feedback is polite, and some go off on a rant about how they worry about what he is going to do to get us all blown up.
As for the press smearing him, the press has always been there to question and research what we average people are not able to find out for ourselves. It is their OBLIGATION to scrutinize everything they see, and give us their findings. Why is it so much worse this Presidency than every before ? Because there is so much more corruption and conflict to report on. They ain't fabricating this stuff, Trump is giving them the fuel for the fire.
...he has basically said "You will do it my way or no way", and they are saying "F you!"

Sounds familiar. USA circa 2009 to 2016.
We are a sovereign country. So far it's working out pretty well considering the corrupt UN just decreased our "dues", the first financial reform of the U.N. regular budget in 28 years - 1972 with Ambassador Bush. While not the 25% Congress wanted, it's very close.
Secretary-General Kofi Annan “the best possible seasonal gift” for the United Nations, saying it should remove a major source of tension in the world body. “In particular, we can now look forward to a normal and constructive relationship with the United States administration,” he said in a statement.
“The United Nations now can begin the new century on a firmer financial footing, and we can focus our energies on our true task,” he said. “We must now concentrate on responding to the needs and expectations of our peoples.”
Trump is a destroyer--he is not a 'voice of change.' We have had intelligent, constructive, good presidents who were a 'voice of change' and who were very popular. That excuse doesn't fly.
You are confusing being respected and being liked. They are two separate things. Those countries may not like Trump but they respect him. Those same countries may have liked Obama more but they respected him less.
For example, you may not like a tough teacher that made you work hard to get a good grade but you respect him/her. You may love an easy teacher because they hand out A’s to everyone but you tend to respect them less as teachers.
See the difference?
No, very few people outside of the USA, conservative or liberal, have any respect for Trump. They view him as the blowhard he is, the liar he is, and devoid of any redeeming qualities.
And a danger to world peace.
