Prior to Trump, the world laughed at us behind our backs. Now with Trump they laugh out in the open, likely due to his overwhelming professional and classy use of the English language. The world will continue to laugh at us until "we the people" stop blindly trusting the politicians and media. We need to make it a priority to question what actually drives policies! Our government, policies and priorities need to be changed and actually decided on by the people. It isn't 1776 and don't need the electoral college. The popular vote should decide the President.
Trump or any president can't take credit for their policy changes driving economic growth within thier first term, for the most part. Trump can take credit for the growth of "blue collar" aka "goods-producing" jobs, which is on 14% of the workforce. The remaining 86% of the workforce is the service sector, which hasn't seen any growth under Trump. Overall the unemployment rate has dropped by approx. 1% since January 2017.
As for the wall being the solution to illegal immigrants, it's a waste of money! Our immigration policies and partnering with countries that have a high rate of people wanting to come to US, is what will solve illegal immigration. Considering the US was built by immigrants, immigration decisions shouldn't take years. Otherwise, maybe we should all go back to our counties of origin and let the Native Americans have thier land back.
Im not going to continue listing the education, social, drug or corporate policies that need change or why we are the laugh stock of the world. We are only accountable for ourselves and until we make it a priority to educate ourselves on US policies, our country will continue to be the definition of insanity.
The problem is when we see images of trump supporters on TV they always look like negative stereotypical Americans. Fat, dumb, over opinionated, flag waving redneck morons. I know not all Americans fit that description but when you see crowds of them that do all screaming "build that wall" it's hard not to laugh.
As a Canadian living in Australia, thus communicating with people between two nations, I would like to clarify that for me personally and for the others I have spoken to so far, we are not laughing at America... We're just laughing at Trump.
He's just trying to make it sound like we're laughing at the rest of you so he feels better about himself.
What's happening between the Republicans and Democrats isn't funny, it's more like a train wreck with Trump at the controls, and much of the world, though sick of hearing about it, can't stop watching this Kardashian reality show nightmare.
I like his Antics sometimes but should have never been president to begin with government is too corrupt Trump is just entertainment.
I try not to pay attention 2 News believe half of what you hear and see on TV probably less than that they just show you what they want you to see you tell a lie long enough people will start to believe it dumbing us down they want sheeple people care about the Kardashians breaking a nail then the starving and homeless people stand up be counted. be a individual that's can think for themselves what they don't want open your eyes people

When people look at the morals, and values of America and then read the constitution and the history. Things don't add up. If America is about the land of the free... why were blacks enslaved and natives massacred? If America predicates on democracy then why is there not a universal health care system similar to Canada's method? Because the government and media has fooled everyone to choose sides to classify yourselves as either a Democrat or Republican supporter. Both parties have an agenda which is follow Zionism. Trump talked about locking up Hilary Clinton and you would think the president could lock away someone if Trump truly believed what she did was immoral from her past actions. But guess what, Trump and the Clintons are friends, Trump bad mouthing others like Obama is all show.
Maybe there is some genuine hate amongst politicians I am not denying that but they seem pretty buddy-buddy and chummy-chummy. The reason why America is losing it's strong hold is because every empire will collapse one day. I have read from other economists that gradually the American dollar will be on the decline it won't last forever. Eventually, other countries are going to get tired of being bitched around. This capitalism system will fail. We will see a World War 3 one day, we will see another big economic collapse. It's just that American news outlets don't want to report the cracks in their system. The big broadcasting companies such as ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN and others may touch base on certain issues in America but it still deceives the public.
When I bring up these matters, I often get a back lash from Americans because either they feel like its an insult for their patriotic ways to say anything negative about America or they are in denial. It's like if someone warns another person, "hey that person is not good for you break up with them" but that person continues being with them what ends up happening the two usually split up. This is not just Americans, governments around the world are fooling the public. Even in high school when there are student elections, how often will a student say something immature or say something to get votes? Quite often, how is that any different then the tactics politicians pull?
Is anyone's past truly squeaky clean? My past isn't clean and neither is any of y'all's either but why attack someone on their past. Shouldn't you move on and focus on the countering the issues? But that isn't the care for politicians, it is to lie and just be a puppet for the true higher ups of the system (i. e: the Zionists and Wahabbi's). I guarantee everyone, America will get hit in the face and thank your constitution and government for doing that.
No its not. so a bunch of liberals are upset so what? I mean that's your grand evidence, that liberals who were viciously attacking trump before he even set foot in the white house, the same people who quite literally violated the law in order to try and impeach trump (something they called for BEFORE he even won the election) hate him? That's pretty stupid. Did Trump bomb eight different nations that had not been a threat to the US like Obama did? Nope. Did Trump run the economy into the ground like Obama did? Nope. So far he has refused to go to war despite having the opportunity, forced hospitals to disclose prices for services in order to reduce over all costs to patience, has removed the very illegal Obama care mandate that was punishing people for not being able to afford healthcare, allowed for Canadian pharmaceutical companies to be able to compete in the US which will help reduce the absurd prices that we have for drugs due to their near monopoly, brought home troops instead of sending them to foreign lands and you want to say that he is the worse president ever? That's idiotically stupid. Just because you don't like him because he isn't on your team, doesn't mean he is a bad president or a bad person.
People focus too much on the person of Donald Trump. Trump is not the responsible for the current situation, he's a symptom of something _much_ bigger.
Trump is not new, Trump is known in American culture for as long as he exists as son of a mogul. The guy does not need to make his reputation, he _has_ a reputation. He's a known scammer, a criminal, surrounded by other criminals.
And yet, more than 50% of the Americans voted for this person...
Seriously, don't focus on him, the issue is that more than 50% Americans are:
- People desperate for change, so disillusioned that they even think that Trump can do a better job...
- People that support his vision of things, his bully-esque and confrontational attitude towards issues...
- Stupid people that are easy to influence, people that can be 'convinced' with 20 facebook postings that only Donny can make America great again.
- Evil people that would be ready to take up arms for Trump if they are called to defend poor Donny if Impeachment works out... In this group there are 'yellers' that might just want to show off their willingness, but there are also more silent forces that would _wholeheartedly_ kill for their cause / this man. We know this category from the 2nd WW here in Europe, we called them the brownskirts.
You are dealing inside the US and also we, worldwide with a new and dangerous movement, where populist and alt-right forces use (social) media tactics and other manipulations to sway the people that don't know how to vote for themselves. The more liberal and left-leaning political movements don't want to use these tactics themselves as they deem them not honest. The alt-right and populist identified skillfully the weak points of democracies and use these weaknesses to the fullest.
And today, they're winning.
Big time.
So many people on here are unable to even complain about the policy issues they have with Trump. All they know is "orange man bad". Trump isn't perfect, and even his own supporters will often admit they disagree with him on some of his policies. Trumps opponents however are so stuck in their bubble, that most of them can't even name the policies that they dislike. Screaming "orange man bad" isn't going to win any elections.
The left need to start focusing on the actual issues. There are issues the left could challenge him on, but instead they just act like NPC's repeating "orange man bad" over and over, while dismissing the issues that got Trump elected in the first place by insulting the people that voted for him. Many of these same people voted for Obama and wanted to support Sanders in 2016, and the left are just pushing those voters further right by not focusing on the issues. The left are losing more and more swing voters to the right everyday.
Defending trump is analogous to believing in a flat earth or creationism. Its indefensifible, and requires blind faith/willful ignorance to accept. You literally cannot side with trump unless you give zero shits about evidence and have no conscience, basically, you have to be as stupid as he is in order to like him.
Let the world Laugh..
America was, is and will sore High like an Eagle above all the mere creatures!..
I am saying that even though I am from India..
Be America doesn't treats its citizen's like cattle..
It values its own people...
"Give power to people and in turn they will empower you "
I just love the attitude of their culture! Just venture out and try and win the world.. Have your moment.. Which creates a shit storm of fighters that most nations lack..
And lastly! It's principals on which it is founded as a nation and its ideology will always attract the most skilled and valuable people refining them from the whole globe like moths to a Lamp..
Which will always sustain is better and growing no matter how the generation of kids they have perform..
Everybody laughed at the guy from Idiocracy who said to quit watering plants with Brawndo.
When you're right, it doesn't matter if 7 billion retards make fun of you for it, you're still just as right, and they're all still just as retarded.
Let me tell you something about the world: They don't pay our bills. They don't pay ANYTHING to us, we are the ones who give aid to the world, and that's what they SHOULD be laughing at us for. We could shut down the world economy in one fucking day, and every single day that we don't do that is one more day those assholes have to laugh at us. Most of those other countries aren't even self-sufficient, they're only alive because we keep feeding them.
The only people stupider than them is anybody who cares what they think.
I don't give 1-millionth of a f*ck about what "the world" thinks of the US. I've lived and studied in Thailand, China, Russia, throughout Europe, and Latin America. Every single country everywhere has problems. There is no country devoid of corruption. The more powerful the country, the deeper or the greater the mass-effects of potential corruption. Humans are hypocrites. We disparage others while denying or trying to hide our own faults. Worse, when WE are the people in great power, we do to others many of the things we once claimed were unconscionable. I could name groups in the US, but then this would turn into a war zone.
Trump is wrong. 'We' are not laughing about 'America' ... we are laughing about HIM!
Is he trying to make his own popularity problem one of the whole nation?
Sure: the public image about the U. S. has suffered a lot since he took office; and so partly it IS a national problem - - - but not for too long, I suppose: another 4 years of controversy at maximum if all goes unwell.
As for the youtube comedy clip: I find that it's cheap entertainment; I see no depth of thought, or relevance. However... THIS reflects the present state of mind of the U. S. to me: shallowness and disunity. Luckily, there are many enough left who don't join in with howling-and-yowling.
It's not that Europeans don't take the U. S. for serious - but political respect or even granted 'greatness' is out of reach presently.
Can 'you' make it stop? Only if you stop TRUMP: HE as a person is the problem.
Lol more women voted yes than men. He’s running America mike a business. Of which it is. He’s winning in most all areas. They are doing this impeachment gig to try to sway people’s vote. The dems haven’t found anything. It’s all smoke an screen and quite pathetic. He can and will still win the 2020 election! People don’t want America to succeed and it’s sad! America needs to get its back bone back! Obama gave everything away! He started off as if he wanted to stand up for smarties. But he betrayed her! No one watches the numbers! That’s what’s important! Who cares if he can’t speak publicly if you feel that you can do a better job than the president of which I already know you can’t. Then go out your name in a ballot! If not, stop bitching and grow the f up!
The people who ignore any facts they don't like and are happily hypocritical don't care and will never care as long as they have the delusion that he'll somehow make this country a paradise for sexist white bigots, they are all in on this
The world isn't really laughing though. Europe is practically ultra-right wing at this point. The Brits want conservatism so bad they're practically masturbating for it. Latin America is near civil war in declaration to their desire to go Libertarian and Hong Kongers are rioting because they want more American-Style Trump Economics.
Jimmy Kimmel and the hollywood left aren't "the world"
Lol good to see you're still biased as hell. Im not even a supporter of his but damn dude. You got one of the largest hate boners for the Orange man. Right up there next to Pelosi
Donald trump is on of the worst presidents but he is not the worse. Heck one of the presidents of america married a 14year old girl.
look up your history. Not saying that to be rude just trust there are worse.
and nah i have always laughed at america they always have a shady president but tbf so does everywhere else leaders are not great people most of the time.
Getting rid of blockheads. Liberals. Millennial. Democratic dummies. Clueless and ruthless. Trump is number one and has fulfilled nearly every promise. Wake up, America.
He doesn't even run this country the shadow government does. So I don't know why people are getting all in an uproar and panties twisted in a knot. The jews run this country and the rest of the world the media the press the courts the justice system the federal reserve the money and everything else you can think of and the shadow government makes all the decisions about what's going to happen to this country. The president the vp pelosi the house of reps congress the senate is a mere circus act for the public as a spectators sport.
The world (as well as Americans who aren't brainwashed or afraid of Trump or who aren't selfish and just looking out for themselves) is laughing at Trump and we've done so since Trump announced his candidacy for the U. S. Presidency.
Remember the U. N. incident?
Get rid of Donald Dump because he is not making America great but the laughing stock and us too.
Well who cares. Our military is up. Our self building is up. Our jobs are way up. The gov aid is down. He is not spread the money to other country's first so he is better for us. The world can laugh but wait til help is needed then the will be crying little bitches again. The other side wants socilism when mean all equal poor except for the rich. That never works.
Mr Trump is his worst enemy but hey we can't do nothing
but hope a new leader takes over in 2020 and i don't care
what party they stand for just as long they will win the WHITE HOUSE
now doesn't the Republicans have another person to run for
their party wow this is crazy?
