    Like most Americans, most folks abroad agree that Trump stinks.

    What are the implications of his impotence in commanding the respect of friend and foe alike in leading, maintaining, and promoting global order?

    Did you purposefully link an article from 2017? Or did you just copy and paste without actually reading what the article says.

    This is not current events ....

    If it were, you could easily see that the US actually stayed in the exact same spot at #6.

    Nice necro though

    I would limit that to most liberals rather than most Americans

    But there is no question American globalists hate trump for the same reason foreigners do

    None of them wants to see America great again

    I guess anytime a president is like our old presidents, that is, a president that puts america and her people first, some americans and foreigners will find such a president repugnant.

    To me it really does look like the democrats stopped representing working and middle class americans under clinton, while the GOP never represented them,in my life time, and the Princeton Study evidences this in spades, by using congressional record spanning two decades, ending in 2012, and China loves it! Our two parties insured that they would be a major threat in the future, as they became the industrial power of the world, which is required in order to wield power and strength and challenge the US, even becoming a great danger, given they are still a communist nation.

    No other nation will put our people first, while other nations tend to put their own nation first. The democrats and even republicans would rather put big banking and big business first, even when it destroys what FDR helped to create, the largest middle class in world history, that is now in deep sh*t.

    SO, the more repugnant trump is to some americans and to other nations, the better it is for those americans that the dems once represented and stood up for. That the IQs are just too low to see this is a problem with IQs. I am beginning to think that while IQs cannot be significantly raised, given it is mostly a genetic thing, hyper partisanship, primitive tribalism probably is one of the major things that can lower IQs, right behind severe brain damage from physical trauma or brain cancer.

    Most Asian countries like him quite a bit, was in Malaysia in November and the Democrats are being wishful thinkers if they think the world hates Trump as much as they do

    This is preposterous nonsense. The reason folks do not like Trump has nothing to do, in most cases, with their desire, or lack thereof, to see American great again.

    What is even greater preposterous nonsense is your claim that Liberals do not want America to be great again.

    You need to get out of the "demonization of the other" paradigm. Just because someone disagree's with your perspective in one respect or another does not make them evil - or wrong for that matter.

    America's being befouled by Trumpery has been reflected in the consistent opinion of most Americans...

    ... and the global community aligns with most Americans in that estimation.​

    "Early polling suggests 2020 will be about Trump. That's bad news for him."

    Yep! He will be going into 2020 with no real accomplishments and against a much stronger Democratic candidate than Hillary was. Not even his Uncle Pootie will be able to save him, assuming he even makes it to the general election.

    Thanks to the efforts of the Trump Justice Department Special Counsel, the federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, the New York Attorney General, several Congressional committees, a plethora of intrepid denizens of the Fourth Estate, and first-hand observation, American voters will be far more knowledgable in 2020 than in 2016.

    Aside from the fact that you just moved the goalpost. What is your definition of "Traditional America" - and what part of this do Lib's hate ?

    You can pretend that all polls that do not relentlessly reflect your blind devotion to Trumpery are fake if that is what you need to do.

    Trying to please the world hasn't worked out for us so far. I didn't like Trump at first, but I do like liberal tears!

    Is there a reason we should care that citizens from other countries do not like us?

    When most Americans and most of America's allies concur that Trump stinks, and his faithful cannot find any surveys that show otherwise, one must conclude that it is a vast conspiracy of fake pollsters both foreign and domestic.

    You are not qualified to make that statement. Surveys to not represent the opinions of successful people raising families. They don't have time to answer unidentified calls and answer survey questions. Would you stop helping your child with homework to take a phone survey? Wise men do not discuss a presidents likability; they discuss results. Only fools make it personal.

    A vast, worldwide industry of professionals who survey the public for politicians, businesses, and journalists discredited because they all reflect the views of that dude who loves to express his personal opinions and encourages his kids to do their own homework. Wow.

    Do you really believe that?

    2.9 more Americans voted for Clinton, but she lost the electoral vote.

    You can look it up.

    You are correct. Neglectful parents said Hillary wins by a landslide. Wise men argue results. Fools make it personal.

    I am not familiar with your neglectful parents but, whomever you choose to consult, the consensus of opinion both foreign and domestic is that Trump stinks, regardless of whether diehard Trumpers are able to deal with it.

    I do not like Trump, or any other politician. They are not there to like. They are there to produce a result. While fools take cheap shots, wise men discuss results.

    Saying he "Stinks" says more about you than him. You may resume your meltdown.

    It means that America's global leadership position is diminished.

    Not that America Firsters have a clue how much that position has contributed to America's past greatness.

    What does it matter what ferriners think. Trumpettes don't need them for anything much more than a ideological foil.
