Not shocked, sad, especially after President Obama did such a stellar job of making friends. Joe will turn this ship around.

U.S.’s International Reputation Takes a Major Hit Thanks to Coronavirus Pandemic: Pew Report

A new Pew Research report has found that America’s reputation among 13 world nations has declined even further compared to last year. “In several countries, the share of the public with a favorable view of the U.S. is as low as it has been at any point since the Center began polling on this topic nearly two decades ago,” the Pew Center’s official report summary says. The U.S.’s reputation was at a record low in six countries: Canada, France, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. Researchers link the decline in America’s reputation to how the U.S. has handled the pandemic. The report also found that other nations’ approval of President Trump has continued to drop, as they view him more negatively than other world leaders. Pew’s findings were based on a survey of 13,723 people in 13 countries this summer.

1. Aw, well. Yet another thing succumbs to the touch of the...

Butternut Squat.

All hail the glorious leader. HAIL!

2. Don't blame the virus. Blame Trump.

He's the one saying NATO is obsolete.

He's the one unilaterally withdrawing from International Treaties for no reason other than his personal whim.

He's the one praising brutal dictators while trashing free democracies.

He's the one making a fool of himself with every lying utterance.

He's the one denying basic facts and embracing every wild ass fantasy.

He's the one insulting our allies and friends with nonsense.

3. Yep, in Canada the US has hit the lowest approval since Pew began...

polling north of the US border:

Canadians’ view of U.S. drops to lowest level in nearly 2 decades: poll

"The Pew Research Center report released Tuesday finds a favourable view of the U.S. among only 35 per cent of Canadians surveyed, the lowest level recorded since Pew began polling north of the Canada-U.S. border in 2002.

snip

Only 20 per cent of the poll’s 1,037 Canadian respondents expressed confidence in Trump himself, the lowest presidential rating Pew has ever recorded in Canada and a precipitous drop from the 83 per cent support for Barack Obama they found in 2016."

I just LOVE the 83% approval for President Obama versus the measly 20% for the squatter in chief. It is positively delicious!
