US now less popular worldwide than China, barely above Russia.

[speak34]

Putin is more popular that Trump....PUTIN.

Soooo much winning!

US popularity collapses worldwide in wake of Trump’s return

The world is more divided than ever, but there’s still something (nearly) everyone agrees on: The U.S. is unloved.

I didn’t read the attached, but who did this supposed poll?

The data used in this story came from an online survey conducted by Nira Data and the Alliance of Democracies between April 9-23, 2025. The sample was 111,273 drawn across 100 countries, with an average sample size of around 1,100 respondents per country. Nationally representative results were calculated based on the official distribution of age and gender for each country’s population.

They must have checked with Trump, Carlson, and other MAGATs

 

[joelbc1]

Trump must be soooo proud! To even be compared with Putin…. A life’s ambition fulfilled!
“I’m proud to be an American….”

 

[ericram]

From a bastion of free speech and the American dream to be below China. That did not take long. Sadly.

Trump recorded the worst score among a range of political, cultural and spiritual leaders that includes X owner Elon Musk, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, the late Pope Francis, Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian.

How the fvck did America reach the point where Kim Kardashian is mentioned in the same survey as world leaders and the Pope?

Or a convicted felon is elected President?

If only Trump had run an "America Last" campaign.

It's not surprising though. If you watch European news, it's heavily slanted. It's not quite as bad as an MSNBC in terms of propaganda, but they're sure to use lots of negative descriptors to talk about trump/America and are the same way with Israel.

I watch EuroNews quite a bit, and they don't use the opinion people the way Fox or MSNBC does, but they tell a lot of half truths and trim out context to leave a bad taste in the viewers mouth.

It's still one of my more preferred news channels, especially for global news.

It's always someone else's fault, huh?

We have our problems but China being "more popular" is batshit crazy.

Months of erratic and wonton threats aimed at the entire world will do that.

We have an authoritarian leader who has a hard on for government control of pricing and market manipulation.

Birds of a feather.

This is a fascinating take.

Please explain what the rest of the world is missing when it comes to Donald Trump

Why? Explain to me why the world should have a favorable opinion of Donald Trump?

 

[jneffer]

i don't understand the disconnect here

much of the rest of the world doesn't see us as the plucky, freedom-loving do-gooders we like to present ourselves as

and then we elect a cartoon caricature of every american stereotype as our leader

gee...i can't imagine why we aren't #1

Same way a vile, emotionally stunted man got elected President. We are not the country we used to be.

 

[hawkeyetraveler]

I’m so glad the world respects us more now than under Biden. That’s what MAGA folks who have never been out of the country have been saying for months.

Those of us who frequently travel outside the country obviously have no clue compared to them!

 

[gohawks50]

That and effective Chinese propaganda.

Can you point out some examples of Chinese propaganda? I think it's more likely threatening to make other countries part of the US and erratic policies like the tariff "hokey pokey", but maybe I missed the propaganda you are talking about.

The Tea Party grew into MAGA and elected a rapist conman felon. That's how it happened. Dumbest populace in the world. Day after day after day of stupid shit ripping the rest of us off and he doesn't lose a member of his base, because libs bad.

Leftwing HROTers reveling in a popularity poll like a bunch junior high girls. The least surprising thing of the day.

 

[Whiskeydeltadeltatango]

Part of the why behind America whoring itself out and becoming a dependent on other nations is little bitches caring about what others are going to think of them. O.. no.... if we don't help the downtrodden of trashcanastan we are not the america we want to be o no..... then you bitches cried because we called shithole countries shitholes.



The most popular girl in my high school now has 3 children by 3 different men, popularity has many definitions.

Remember that analogy, when discussing your friends, who said the US is now unpredictable and they feel like they can't trust us as much as they used to? And I said much like a 25 year old that no longer has their parent pay their credit card, I'm sure they do feel abandoned and upset but at the end of the day it's the right thing to do?


I'm ok with hurting their feelings if it means we stop paying their bills while they talk shit about us every chance they get. "Popular" or not.

I wonder when they will stop sending aid to the US?

I wonder when they will stop accepting aid?

I wonder then they will want the US to close some of the hundreds of military bases around the globe?
