After WWII, the United States rose to a position of preeminence in power and prosperity by assuming leadership in promoting democratic principles and humanitarian projects worldwide.
Call it self-interested altruism.
It worked.
The Mar-a-Lago Mauler is now undertaking a precipitous descent.
How low can he go?
CANADA
The day Trump was inaugurated, the Conservative lead ballooned to an average of over 20-points.
In a few short weeks, Trump’s insults, threats, attacks and tariffs dramatically altered Canada’s electoral landscapes.
Since Trump’s inauguration, support for Canada’s conservatives has plunged seven points while support for the Liberals has skyrocketed by 18-points, and they now narrowly lead a race where their victory has long been judged impossible.
With his unfavorables at 78 percent, Trump has made himself the central issue in Canada’s election and united that country in opposition to him.
GREENLAND
Trump also brought Greenlanders together to oppose him.
Jens-Frederik Nielsen, likely Greenland’s next prime minister whose Demokraatit party came in first in the island’s recent election, summarized his view this way, “... We want to be Greenlanders, and we want our own independence in the future. And we want to build our own country by ourselves.”
A January poll found 85 percent of Greenlanders oppose their homeland becoming part of the United States, while just 6 percent favor Trump’s position
EUROPE
Eighty-two percent of Europeans see Trump as either a dictator or an authoritarian. Just 13 percent believe he respects democratic principles.
Favorable views of the U.S. declined by 8 to 28 points across seven European countries and are among the lowest ever recorded. Majorities in Germany, Britain and other nations now have unfavorable views of the U.S.
Seventy-two percent of French citizens and 80 percent of the British harbor unfavorable views of Trump himself. Indeed, large majorities in Britian, France, Germany, Italy and Spain consider the president of the U.S. to be a “big threat” to “peace and security in Europe.”
