Pew: Across 33 countries, 64% of people have no confidence in Trump



64% of people worldwide said they do not have confidence in President Trump to do the right thing on the global stage, while only 29% said they trust him, according to a Pew survey of 36,923 respondents conducted in 33 countries.

Why it matters: The world is watching as tensions between the U.S. and Iran flare in the wake of the killing of Iranian Gen. Qasem Soleimani — threatening an all-out war that could further destabilize the Middle East. Amid other global threats, North Korea has also abandoned a self-imposed moratorium on nuclear weapons testing after negotiations with the U.S. broke down.

By the numbers: Roughly 75% of people throughout Germany, Sweden, France, Spain and the Netherlands said they do not trust Trump's decision-making in world affairs.

  • Anti-Trump sentiment was strongest in Mexico, where 89% said they lack confidence in the U.S. president.
Yes, but: Overall, 54% of people polled in those 33 countries held a favorable opinion of the United States, while 38% had an unfavorable one.

  • Trump also has pockets of support in places like Israel, where 74% supported his decision to move the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Between the lines: Pew reported that the lack of trust largely stems from opposition to the president's polices.

  • 68% across the nations polled said they disagreed with the U.S. increasing tariffs on imports.
  • 66% opposed the Trump administration’s withdrawal from international climate agreements.
  • 60% disapprove of Trump’s proposal to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Of note: Trump had the lowest confidence marks among Germany's Angela Merkel, France's Emmanuel Macron, Russia's Vladimir Putin and China's Xi Jinping.

Survey: Germans say Trump is more dangerous than Putin, Kim or Xi

41% of Germans believe President Trump is more of a threat to world peace than North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Chinese President Xi Jinping or Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to a YouGov survey reported by DW.

Why it matters: The results show the degree to which trust in U.S. leadership has eroded under Trump, even among countries like Germany that are traditionally viewed as close allies.

Details: 2,000 Germans participated in the survey, which was conducted between Dec. 16 and 18. Kim Jong-un came in second at 17%, followed by Putin and Khamenei at 8% and Xi at 7%.

Between the lines: Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel have a rocky relationship. Trump has
bashed Germany
and other European countries for what he views as unfair trade policies and a failure to hit NATO defense spending targets.

What the world needs is you telling the kids how you risked your life in the Vietnam war to inspire them (you were in Japan of course) and how great Alex Jones' suppliments taste, just like a fat Welsh cock they say.

Get a therapist.

Yep. Most of the world is for sure brain-dead lefty. They want to be taken care of by their government like the little children they are. LOL !!!
 
I can't say I'm surprised. Trump's America First policy doesn't fit the globalist mold. Plus I have to assume that most people from other countries don't follow U.S. politics very closely, and their opinions are formed by the media coverage which is overwhelmingly negative towards Trump. I'm actually somewhat surprised the number isn't higher.
 
To be honest most of the world hasn't liked us, except when they need Uncle Sam's help and $$. Now that Trump is squeezing that a bit, the rest of the world is a little more uncomfortable with us.

Tough toenails.
