How does an American president
do in five months what in two terms his predecessors, thankfully, did not? Even widely despised Bush II didn't get to just 22% confidence.


The chart above doesn't tell the whole story.
- "In terms of personal characteristics, Trump is seen by most publics around the world as arrogant, intolerant and even dangerous. At the same time, he is seen by sizable percentages as a strong leader."
What's especially disconcerting about the survey results is that the lack of confidence comes from our allies. Our most significant adversaries, of course, are thrilled with Trump....and why shouldn't they be? He goes easy on them.
As I pointed out in another thread, no American should give a rats ass what other countries think. They hate us and want to see us knocked down from our high perch and our wealth distributed. Therefor, they loved 0bama because he intended to do both and they would have loved Hillary because she would have continued the destruction that 0bama started.
They hate Trump because he's all about America First, and making America great again. That is not what the socialist globalist assholes want.
No one should give a shit what they think. The more they are pissed, the better for America and Americans.
As I pointed out in another thread, no American should give a rats ass what other countries think.
That attention was no less absurd there as it is here. The only people who rightly enjoy the luxury of insouciance about how their nation and its leader(s) be perceived by others are they who truly can live in complete isolation and independence from others. These days, that is not even possible for

First, you need to learn to read. Reading isn't just knowing what the collection of letters say, it also means being able to understand the message that whole sentences and paragraphs convey. You need to work on that.
I'm not in any way suggesting isolation. We don't have to care what their think, and we shouldn't. None of their opinions will translate to any real actions, they need us WAY more than we need them and they aren't going to do anything to risk losing that except whine and cry and take polls. You just like what it says so you are willing to defend the absurd.

You are the one who needs remedial reading instruction. After receiving it, mastering the skills taught, and rereading what I wrote, you'll realize I didn't state or imply you were suggesting isolation.

I realize poor and/or insufficiently trained good readers can, as you did, misconstrue what I wrote. The reasons I am aware of that are (1) you have by your remarks indicated you think I did state/imply you suggested isolation and (2) in the abstract, there's no limit to the ways and means such readers can misinterpret pretty much anything they read. Furthermore, poor reading comprehension and lack of appropriate instruction need not be causal of one's misprision; some people experience that because they have
mental issues that effect rather than derive from gaps in their reading comprehension ability. Those issues yet inhibit their ability to accurately interpret what they read. (See
this also.) But that sort of thing gets into why one cannot understand what one reads. I don't much care why one cannot, and I'm in no position, for any given individual whom I don't well know, to say why. What I can very aptly attest to, upon seeing one's response to what they read, is that they have or have not misconstrued it.
Now, as for the correct interpretation of what I wrote, I'm not going to provide it because the post is just three sentences long, and
they aren't sentences that should challenge anyone who's graduated from high school. [1] [2] If you have not, it's understandable why you misconstrued the passage. Regardless of whether you have graduated from high school, I don't ever here write with the expectation that non-high school graduates comprehend my posts. It is quite likely that little that I post on USMB is easily understood by, say, eighth graders, but as the topic of my posts are primarily political, I'm not writing to eighth graders, so that doesn't bother me. Quite simply, my target audience does not include minors or adults who, as minors, failed to master the reading and cognitive skills taught to them in their K-12 school years.
Note:
- I don't generally check the readability of my posts, but when someone as grossly misconstrues as you have, I do. To use the tool at the link, simply copy and past the content of my earlier post into the tool. and click the "Process text" button. That site being free doesn't provide much to explain the various indices, so embedded in this sentence is a link to a document that does:
- Have you graduated from high school? If you haven't, I understand why you didn't comprehend my post and why you think I've alluded to your saying something you did not.
