WASHINGTON From missile strikes in the Middle East to tariff fights in Asia, the last few weeks have been a reminder of the outsized role the United States has on the world stage militarily, culturally and economically. And outside U.S. borders, Donald Trump's presidency is not getting high marks, according to new data from the Pew Research Center.
Overall, the message in the numbers is clear: Most countries do not have a great deal of faith in Trump when it comes to managing international relations, particularly compared to other world leaders. When people from different countries were asked whether they had confidence in various national leaders to "do the right thing regarding world affairs," Trump did not fare well.
To be fair, no world leader scored above 50 percent on the question, using an international median score. Germany's Angela Merkel came closest, at 46 percent. France's Emmanuel Macron ranked just behind her, with 41 percent expressing confidence in him. A third of all respondents, 33 percent, said Vladimir Putin would do the right thing.
Just 29 percent said the same of Trump, less than those three world leaders and just ahead of China's Xi Jinping; 28 percent of respondents had confidence in the Chinese leader to do the right thing.

"In the United Kingdom, Trumps right thing number, 32 percent, is 43 points lower than Obamas was in 2011. In Canada, Trumps score, 28 percent, is 53 points lower than Obamas was in 2013. In France, the confidence is Trump is 64 points lower than it was for Obama in 2011. And in Germany, only 13 percent have confidence in Trump to do the right thing. That is 75 points lower than the 88 percent who had confidence in Obama in 2011."

(33,345 posts)What his followers hear is "the USA is feared all over the world now".
What's changed is we're seen as a stupid bully. Trumpists see that as a victory.
