Germany supplants US as the country with the best global reputation

(CNN)America's brand has taken a major hit in the age of Trump.

At least that's according to a survey that ranks the world's best nation brands.

The United States lands with an overall No. 6 ranking in the Anholt-GfK Nation Brands Index, which measures 50 nations in multiple categories, including governance, exports, culture, people, tourism and immigration/investment. The United States was the overall No. 1 in 2016, but Germany took the top spot this year.

The source of America's big drop? President Donald Trump, says Simon Anholt, a political consultant who developed the brand survey more than a decade ago.

"We are witnessing a 'Trump effect,' following President Trump's focused political message of 'America First,' " Anholt said in a statement.

4. If you told someone that this

was going to be reality back in 1945 they would have said you are insane. A Nazi country now run by a smart, strong woman and a human rights democracy now run by a crazy, billionaire moron. I am surprised we are not #84 in the ranking if you really think about it.

7. In The "Trump World of Delusions," this will be seen as a major win. n/t

8. I'm pretty surprised we were ever #1 with our ridiculous health care system

A country where a serious injury or illness comes with the added bonus of the threat of losing everything is not really a #1 kind of country.
