Trump is a pimple on the ass of progress and sanity?!!

Donald Trump has been U.S. president for less than six months but it’s been enough time to send opinions of American leadership plunging.

According to a Pew Research Center public survey of 37 countries, a median of just 22 percent of respondents have confidence in Trump to do the right thing in international matters, compared with 64 percent at the end of Barack Obama’s presidency. As a country, the U.S.’s favorable rating fell in the same period to 49 percent from 64 percent.

Israel and Russia were the only countries surveyed where the public prefers Trump to Obama. (Well Duh???)

According to Pew, the steepest slides in the view of Trump came in European allies such as Sweden, Netherlands and Germany, and in South Korea. The decline was less pronounced in some majority-Muslim countries such as Turkey, Tunisia and Jordan, partly because approval for Obama was already low. For instance, only 14 percent of Jordanians had trust in Obama at the end of his tenure, compared with 9 percent for Trump. By comparison, 93 percent of Swedes had confidence in Obama and only 10 percent feel the same way about Trump.

Trump-worshipping teabaggers will be along any minute to belatedly claim that they supposedly always wanted Drumpf to insult allies, diminish America's reputation, and degrade our soft power.

In other words, their Orange Hero can do no wrong. Ever.

A Bare Majority of White Voters Are the Only Ones Happy With Trump
Thanks to dissatisfied nonwhites, Trump’s low approval numbers have reached historic depths.

[FONT=&quot]White Americans remain the only major demographic group in which the percentage of people who think Donald Trump is doing a good job outpaces the number who think he’s doing poorly.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]That finding comes from Pew Research Center [3], which polled more than 2,500 adults around the U.S. between June 8-18. While African Americans and Latinos overwhelmingly gave the president’s performance a thumbs-down, 50 percent of white respondents report feeling good about Trump’s presidency. Just 44 percent think that Trump deserves a poor performance review.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Contrast that with people of color who responded to the survey. A staggering 88 percent of black Americans say they disapprove of the Trump administration, while 72 percent of Hispanics are similarly dismayed with the president. That means 12 percent of African Americans and 28 percent of Hispanics believe Trump’s pros outweigh his cons, figures that seem extraordinarily high considering the evidence.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The findings of the Pew survey reveal that Trump’s historically low approval numbers have reached their current depths—just 39 percent of Americans overall applaud the job he's doing—because of voiced dissatisfaction from nonwhites. Despite signing no [4] significant legislation since he took office, spending an extraordinary [5] amount of time golfing, and mounting evidence that he and his team may have colluded with a hostile foreign power, white Americans haven’t yet hit a tipping point of majority outrage.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Trump ran on a campaign of racism and xenophobia. Hate crimes against racial and religious minorities, including bias-motivated [6] murders, have increased precipitously under this administration. A recent data analysis by Buzzfeed News found [7] over “50 incidents, across 26 states, in which a K-12 student invoked Trump’s name or message in an apparent effort to harass a classmate during the past school year.” The president has been eerily silent about nearly all of these violent incidents, though he has taken to Twitter to complain to his 32 million followers (nearly half of [8] which are fake accounts) about factual media coverage of his policies, as well as to promote television [9] appearances by his surrogates.[/FONT]

Most of those countries' leaders see him as the clueless blowhard he is. Most of those leaders know more about US government than trump ever will because he has a limited attention span and no desire to learn.

Trump has the attention span of a fruitfly, the morality of a garden slug and the intellectual curiosity of GWB...

It's not a good combination and the world can't stop laughing at America for letting him be installed.
