The World has lost Respect for the United States under Trump.

One thing that you need to realize is that I am a person who lives, breathes, and makes decisions based on data, statistics, and facts. I have done that all my life and it has served me well. As such, I am NEVER led or convinced by emotions and fantasy worlds.

Evidently you are the opposite of me and that is fine if it works for you. I wish you the best but one thing I have learned in my life (the hard way) is that fantasy and opinion will cause much damage and following (and understanding) the reality of things will bring benefits.

I still remember that in 1980 I was fantasyzing about getting rich in the market. For the previous 3 years, my clients had all gotten rich (for example, one client invested $25,00o in 1977 and by the end of 1979, he had made $1.5 million in profits. During that same period of time, the company I was working for did not allow me to invest (I was a salesman and had no permission to put my own money in).

When I left and went to another company, I could invest myself, and given that my clients had made all that money in the 3 years before, I thought I would also make that kind of money. Instead and because things changed (the Fed raised interest rates 2% at one time), the $175,000 I had put into the market went "poof". At that time, I had no evaluating-of-the-data-statistics-or-facts experience but I was 100% convinced that I would make money doing the same as I had done for my clients the previous 3 years. I was proven wrong and it was PAINFUL and changed my life for several years until I was "taught" how the evaluate the data, statistics, and facts. When I learned how to do that everything from then on worked well.

Simply speaking, I will not listen to your (or anyone else's) ideas. I evaluate everything MYSELF and come up with my own evaluations of the facts involved. Have I always been right? No, not always but certainly most of the time I have been right and that is what I now follow.

Good luck with your fantasy. One piece of advice, "be emotionally prepared for when reality comes knocking on the door:.


lol more stupid fantasy screeds. Anecdotal stories on the innernetz, and then citing yourself in some appeal to authority, based on some stupid bet you made or other. Obviously 'rationalism' isn't your strong suit.

And you can't distinguish gambling from 'investing' either. Hilarious.
 
I continue to get a lot of dis ratings on my posts. I want to thank all of you for doing that.

The large number of disses does two things in my favor: 1) it means that my posts continue to be read, 2) it brings attention (advertising) to my posts, which like Trump says "any advertising, even bad one, is good as it keeps me relevant", and lastly, it keeps me interested in posting more.

I consider the disses from those dissing me, a badge of honor.

You are entitled to your opinion but here are some facts that make your opinion irrelevant

I had 5 objectives in my life when I started understanding what life is about

#1 was find true love. I found it and she is with me
#2 be economically self-sufficient. I am
#3 make sure that the education and upbringing that I gave to my kids would make them self-sufficient and for them to have good lives. Both my son and my daughter have accomplished both. They make enough money to live comfortably and both have a family with kids and they live economically and emotionally well with their spouses
#4 have friends and people that care about me truly. I have that as well.
#5 gain knowledge and become a better man so that when I die, God judges that I should go to heaven and not to hell. I feel I have done that as well

So, I have accomplished all my goals and that means that I live in the real world and have dwelt with it well. No fantasy.

Once again, we are the laughing stock, the butt of jokes.

Of course the Dunce in Chief is pliable to Russia and Israel so they rate him higher!

lol more pointless anecdotes on the innernetz that prove nothing and mean nothing. That means you do a lot of creative writing when you got nothing.
 
Well be seeing more of this weakness exuding arm folding "this is my party I'll cry if I want to" antics over the coming four years:

Oh, one last thing that I failed to address in my last post.

You are gambling and not investing given that

1) Trump has been proven to be incompetent (14 failed businesses)
2) Trump has been proven to be a liar (over 40,000 proven lies)
3) Trump has been proven to be a scam artist (over 3500 lawsuits against him and been found guilty of a scam University and a scam Charity

You do not consider your support being a "gamble"?

You are entitled to your opinion. It is that simple. Nonetheless, I can prove you wrong easily.

Here is one pic about my true love and how lucky I am to have found it.

works just fine here in my country (the Netherlands)

There is a reason the US is the most powerful and successful countries in the world and it isn’t because we followed the lead of all of you fighting for a distant second.
 
Getting back to the Topic .
Yes , on the basis of this Thread, the world has lost respect for Americans .


A group of people who roam the world bullying people , starting wars, but always losing them, and living more and more impoverished lives .

Strange the question was raised

The answer seems self evident .
indoctrinated, nationalistic, imperialistic, NONSENSE.
 
The world has lost respect for the United States under Trump and it is clearly shown that under Biden, much of that respect was regained:


It is clearly evident that world views on Trump are strongly negative.

When Trump says Make America Great Again, the world laughs.

Carrottop is looking for a new writer, I'm going to send this to him!
 
It is because you embrace a society as a feeding frenzy. But to get back to the topic. From another staunch ally...

Voters are bracing for economic and security shocks from the return of Donald Trump as United States president as 40 per cent say the outcome will be bad for Australia.
Trump’s emphatic victory is welcomed by 29 per cent of voters who believe it will be good for Australia, but there is a strong majority against taking sides with America in any conflict with China.

Look, America is just trying to keep some semblance of what made us so great in the first place. Democrats are trying to destroy that. I can see why those of you from other countries are ok with it. Maybe some other countries can get some of our left-overs after the left destroys it, right? What many fail to understand is that if the US falls or goes the way of Europe, the world will be in chaos.
 
and yet you need our support as much as we do yours, insulter.
The US is the only nation to have invoked article 5 of the NATO treaty, thereby having other nations spend blood and treasure because of a claimed attack.

You get the gratitude you deserve...

What, gdp, offence spending, incarcerated population?

Those are the things at which you are greatest.

looting, slave-trade, and illegal wars (in Africa no less), started your "greatness".
that you and the UK and Europeans that migrated to the States then tried to force upon the rest of the world.
many of you are still stuck in uni-polar indoctrination.
go fix that.

oh, and the near eradication of the American Indians, of course.
