Quote:U .S. Earns Top Approval Rating of Five Major Powers – Trump’s Russia is Last

"For the third consecutive year, the leadership of the U.S. earns the highest approval ratings among five major global powers.
Donald Trump is constantly throwing shade on America’s image around the world, and in his dystopian fantasy world, everything is to be blamed on Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. However, his lies are exposed by a new Gallup poll which shows that,
“For the third consecutive year, the leadership of the U.S. earns the highest approval ratings among five major global powers.”

As Gallup reports,
“Since President Barack Obama took office in 2009, the image of the U.S. has been relatively strong worldwide. Approval ratings of U.S. leadership have not yet returned to the high levels observed when he first took office (49%), but in most years, they have been higher than the ratings for other major global powers — several of whom have had similar continuity in their leadership.”
The other four countries are Russia, China, Germany, and the European Union. Their ranks come out as follows:
United States – 45
Germany – 43
European Union – 39
China – 30
Russia – 24
All this is at odds with Donald Trump’s rhetoric. According to Trump, this should be impossible. The Republican nominee praises Russian strongman Vladimir Putin as often as he condemns our own leadership, saying at one point of Putin,
“He’s running his country, and at least he’s a leader, unlike what we have in this country…”
Trump is right about this, at least: it is to Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, among others of Obama’s appointees, that we can trace the responsibility for America’s global image.
As in so many things, Trump’s words are at odds with fact, and his anti-American rhetoric exposed as the lie it is. Trump says he wants to make America great again, but he can’t do that while working for a foreign government against his own.
OK righties 1.....2.....3....lose your shit! But, but, it doesn't feeeel that way. Obama doesn't talk tough enough to make me feel tough. Boo, f*ckin' hoo.
Do something in your own life to make yourself feel tough and stop relying on a president to do it in a way that will get your grand kids killed.
