For instance, we are paying billions to the UN and climate change that is really just going to corrupt people who have a net negative impact...Trump's going to stop the payments and yes, it pisses off world leaders and is good for the USA. We have been paying trillions to defend the world and get nothing but disrespect and hate in return....that ***** world leaders and is good for the USA.

Had trouble getting a figure, but I got an estimate that the US pays the annually about $5-$6 billion. Maybe excessive, but barely 1% of the US military budget; it's not going to make a difference and arguably it give the US more influence to be in the UN than outside of it.

Climate change... most of those who study the issue believe it's a real concern. Much of the changes (alternative energy) the US could do to lower its impact would involve domestic changes, and there are benefits in using alternative energy rather than air polluting carbon-intensive energy sources.

Well, to answer the OP, *this* non-American (I assume you mean non U.S. citizen?) *never* thinks of Trump. Why would I? Why would any non U.S. citizen give a hoot about U.S. politics?

I haven't really given him or the US political scene a second thought, however I did see him on the telly a couple of days ago, I (think) he was talking about building a wall between the US and Mexico and somehow getting Mexico to pay for it?? I have to say to me he looks and sounds a bit 'comical' no? He seems to spout his mouth off without thinking things through, I can't believe for one moment anybody would be stupid enough to actually vote him in! Obviously it would be disastrous for the US if they did.

Spouting his mouth without thinking seems to work well for him so far.

Disastrous for the status quo, yes. Which is the point behind his popularity.
