How does the world view the US and Trump’s leadership today?

[Amy10223]

Even AI knows:

As of April 2026, global opinion of President Donald Trump is largely negative, with many nations expressing low confidence in his leadership, particularly in Europe, where high percentages view him as a threat to security, according to YouGov polling (March 2026) and the Pew Research Center. While many view him as a "strong leader," significant portions of the global public consider him "arrogant" and "dangerous".
Key Findings on Global Opinion (As of Mid-2025/2026):
Low Confidence: Majorities in many nations (roughly 62% across 24 surveyed nations in 2025) have little or no confidence in his ability to handle world affairs.
European Skepticism: Unfavorability is high in Europe, with polls in early 2026 showing 78% in France, 86% in Germany, and 80% in Italy holding unfavorable views. Nearly half of Europeans surveyed in late 2025 viewed him as an "enemy".
"Strong" but "Dangerous": Many respondents (median 67%) describe Trump as a "strong leader," but a similar majority (65%) see him as dangerous.
Regional Differences: Support is notably higher in Nigeria (79% confidence), Israel (69%), and Kenya (64%) compared to countries like Mexico (8%) and Sweden (15%).
Ideological Split: Favorable views are generally concentrated among those on the political right and supporters of right-wing populist parties.

Trump?

like the absolute assclown that he is, of course... there's no other way to see him, even those who "support" Trump see him the same way, but also as a puppet, because he's a muppet

but he's also a buttwipe with power, and a lot of it...

so Trump is just like of those fucking little assholes in schools that nobody can't stand, but you still have to tolerate them and put up with them BECAUSE their older brother is an amateur boxer or something, and this would be the USA... and so the USA like the older brother to the annoying chump... has to just side with because there's no choice, lol

[exitseven]

Trump has tapped into the anger that middle America has felt over the last 20 years. The entire working class has been ignored and denigrated by their government. Both parties were guilty of this. The middle class worked for the government and not the other way around as our founders intended. When President Trump was elected in 2016 it was the first time in my life that I felt like I had real representation in Washington. Closing the border, building the wall, cutting foreign aid, standing up to China and Russia and putting the UN in their place as well as creating an aggressive energy policy that makes America energy independent. On top of that, delivering a middle class tax cut. The America First Agenda was long overdue and has created the most significant and powerful political movements in history.

[NathanDavis]

@exitseven I am well aware of just how much Trump voters like to fool themselves...

just so they can ignore reality

[exitseven]

I do not know how your reality is but I am likeing mine immensely.

[NathanDavis]

good for you

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven " When President Trump was elected in 2016 it was the first time in my life that I felt like I had real representation in Washington."

That statement alone is PROOF that you have no awareness or ability to think critically, Exit. You bought snake oil from a long standing con man because you WANTED to believe it so badly. You wanted to believe " he was just like you" and worked his way to the top... blah, blah, blah. You refused to examine the reality of who and what he was, is and will always be. You bought the con.

Trump has "created" nothing. All he has done is tap into hate, but it's not the frustration towards corruption in government alone, but the racist, white supremacy, Christian superiority shit that's never really left much of the population. Trump pretended to be one of the people fighting corruption and politicians when IN REALITY he was more corrupt despite his lack of political involvement.

And now, you're being fleeced like NEVER before in the history of they USA, and you're clapping your hands and singing his praises. EVERYTHING you said is wrong, from middle class tax cuts to... wait... you mentioned energy again? Oh please. You ARE the poster child for TDS.

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails I knew who he was. Truthfully I was not a fan when he got into politics but the idea of Hillery as the president was just too much to swallow. His Presidency was a welcome surprise. I was glad when he was reelcted and I am not disappointed.

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven Then you DIDN'T know WHO or WHAT he was if Hillary scared you more than he did. You didn't know shit, and you still don't. His Presidency is an absolute disaster, and it's only getting worse.

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails President Trump and America First policies have made lives better for all Americans.

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven Total bullshit. You're a fool. America is drowning and it's getting worse. Wait till your stupid little bubble bursts.

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails President Trump is saving America. one deportation at a time.

[Amy10223]

@exitseven you are living in a fantasy bubble is why!

[Amy10223]

Stop watching that lying Fox News. In a year or so you’ll be ready for a lobotomy.

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven I think you are SO ignorant, that if one of your kids gets wrongfully dragged into a concentration camp and you couldn't find them for 30 days, you'd still try to tell them " they were only doing their job".

[exitseven]

@loveslongnails My kids all voted for Trump.

[Amy10223]

@exitseven The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree, does it? You and al your kids are brainwashed and lying to yourselves if you think the past two years or his previous 4 years have been great. You must live in a plastic bubble.

[exitseven]

My kids and most of their friends are all doing great. Most have good jobs and own property and it looks like they have great futures ahead of them. My finances are also doing great. I feel very optimistic about the future of America and I think that America's opulence will rub off on the rest of the world.

[loveslongnails]

@exitseven They're as dumb as you are on that subject. Your idiot is really going down hill fast now. He has no fucking clue what he's talking about now ALL the time instead of just 95% of the time. LOL

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

The US had a probably questionable reputation before electing far-right forces, so it's oblivious obvious that it didn't get better. But it will probably get better if Trumpism negotiates some partnerships with authoritarian regimes, except he seems to want to piss them off as well...

[katiesmuff]

They know exactly what he is a Hitler wantabe with the brain of a 12 year old spoiled child whose accomplishments include convicted felon, certified pediphile, constant liar, and a person who does not respect the Christian vow's of his marriages. In simple terms just a mudrat with money.

[exitseven]

Think about all the pro American policies President Trump has implemented. Closing the border, building the wall, rebuilding the military, slashing prescription drug prices, deporting over 3 million illegal aliens, stopping the flow of fenranyl, Making better trade deals, promoting 19 trillion dollars in new investments in America, and delivering the largest rax cut in history. Can you name another President who has done what this president has done? President Trump has only been in office a year and 3 months.

[katiesmuff]

@exitseven If all this were even partly fact his popularity would be the highest of any past president instead of being at last count around 30% the lowest of any president. Normal drug prices are not lower, it was just some of those very diabetes meds he got lowered. As far as his wall goes I think the only people who give one shit about it are the Texans and Arizonians who live near the border and the actual numbers of illegals gone either by force by the Nazi drunken storm troopers and those who volunteered to leave is a hair under 1 million, not even close to 3. Every one of his trade deals of gone south, very minimal manufacturing is coming back and we have most of our trade partners pissed off at us. His tariffs that you maga morons never could get through your heads that the only place that tariff money was coming from was OUR pockets with our country now further in debt than ever before in history. So much more to say, but have to get to work.

[Abbycado]

I’m sure not a good view by most. He threatens other countries all the time.

[Sevenpointfive]

He's the laughing stock of generations to come. he will be remembered though. it looks awful from the outside. america is a joke, or at least a joke under this administration. but it makes the people look stupid too. we absolutely deserve it by standing by.

apparently there's some new legislation that he's trying to pass to solidify himself as a supreme ruler. if it passes then November gets pushed up! because then he can cancel elections.

[molonski2]

He's gone wayyyyy too far now , International sentimate has drastically changed , the entire situation is simply horrendous, zero diplomacy, out of control ago , and just the wrong individual in charge ,
It's worse than worse Internationally.

Beyond the beyond , and all over.

[OlderAndWiser]

"Favorable views are generally concentrated among those on the political right and supporters of right-wing populist parties." WHAT A SHOCK! People on the left say they hate him, because hate is their favorite pasttime.

[Amy10223]

Nope, the rightists are more likely the haters. They hate other people who are different from themselves. They spew hate and Trump has pulled back their curtain. Hate is not a favorite pastime of the left. They hate the hateful things Trump has done. The Pope for example-- has been disrespected and Christ has been blasphemed by him. YOU support people like this who are disgradceful. Not the left.

[Amy10223]

And this question was about the WORLD feeling, not the US. They are more aware about Trump than YOU are.

[MrChinaski]

He's a greedy, narcissistic, psychopathic murderer showing progressive dementia who commands the largest thermonuclear arsenal in the world.

Apart from that... 🤷‍♀️

[MrChinaski]

The bottom line is that all of his strutting and fretting has made the US China's bitch. And the rest of us are adjusting to that new reality.

[exitseven]

America is once aagin respected on the world stage. Other countries do not like this because they don;t get foreign aid and the US has imposed tariffs on trade with the US.

[Pohjolan]

@exitseven
Respect is earned not demanded. You don't get points for things like Trump pulling the wool over peoples eyes for the sake of insider trading outside of Wall Street nor for bluffing or apparent lies.

[exitseven]

@Pohjolan Respect in this case is rightfully earned. Over the last 4 years the US has been a joke on the world stage. Biden was being blackmailed by Ukraine and other countries and countries ripped off the US and the US sent foreign aid money to countries that hate us.
Things have turned around with tariffs creating better trade policies for America and foreign aid has been cut. No longer are countries sending their worst people to live in luxury in the US an the deaths caused by fentanyl has dropped. Other countries do not like this but they have to respect it.

[Pohjolan]

@exitseven
"Respect in this case is rightfully earned."
Perhaps in your mind but the question was about the world, not you.

" Over the last 4 years the US has been a joke on the world"
Nah. Biden was a senile man belonging in a seniors home but the institutions kept things running more or less.

"Biden was being blackmailed by Ukraine"
If you are going to lie then you wouldn't make it so obvious. For starters they wouldn't have blackmailed USA into setting restrictions to how they can use US provided weapons nor would the weapons have been trickled in like they were. Had Ukraine received on the first year what has been used against Iran then the war would already be over.

"Things have turned around with tariffs creating better trade policies for America "
For who in America? Also mind you Trump's stated trade policies and actual US trade policies are another matter.

"Other countries do not like this but they have to respect it."
No. You don't get to nitpick in this context. Trump's action like keeping Hormuz closed for the sake of insider trading or likely having fucked underage girls reflects badly on you.

[exitseven]

@Pohjolan Biden was giving Zelensky a 20 billion dollar check every time he asked for one. He watched like a fool as a Chinese spy balloon traversed the whole country before shooting it down. President Trump has shifted the burden of this war from the US to NATO. NATO is actually buying most of the weapons for the war from the US so the country actually makes money on the war instead of paying for most of it.

[Amy10223]

Oh my Lord.

[exitseven]

@amy10223 Yes indeed, see what can be accomplished with real leadership instead of "institutions" like President Autopen.

[Amy10223]

You speak too soon, son.

Trump:
January 2025 (Inauguration): The year-over-year inflation rate was 3.0%.
Early 2026: Inflation slowed to 2.4% by February 2026, its lowest level since May 2025.
March 2026: Inflation rose to 3.3%, the highest level since May 2024.
Total Change: While fluctuating, the overall CPI (Consumer Price Index) has seen a general trend of easing from 2022 highs, though recent energy costs driven by conflict in the Middle East have pushed it upward.

[exitseven]

The 2025 inflation average was 2.7 percent. It went pin March because of gas. It will go down soon after Iran is finished

[Pohjolan]

@exitseven
And Bibi doesn't get a check every time he asks for one?
Look I'm not saying the money US spent isn't small but 188$ billion is small compared to say 2-3 trillion spent on the Iraq war.
The third Gulf war is well on way to get more expensive too even if the petrodollar survives.
Destroying a spy balloon midair in a wrong spot has killed plenty of cows in the past.
Its not like they waited for no reason.
The botched Afganistan invasion was way worse. You know you could also have used the friendship bridge instead of flying everything at the last moment.
Had you tasked three random corporals to plan the evacuation as excercise, they would have probably made a better plan.
Europe outpaced USA as a weapon supplier to Ukraine already last year even before the current delay of US weapons.
None what you have written makes you get respect on order.
The world just witnessed Irans surface navy (which you had sunk) mine the strait of Hormuz after you rejected your own deal to open it. GJ.

[exitseven]

@Pohjolan "NATO is primarily purchasing weapons from the United States to arm Ukraine, utilizing a new, coordinated system dubbed the Prioritised Ukraine Requirements List (PURL). Under this arrangement, European nations such as the Netherlands, Germany, Sweden, Norway, and Denmark purchase U. S. equipment—including Patriot missiles and ammunition—to be delivered directly to the battlefield."

[Pohjolan]

@exitseven
Yes euros have to pay for weapons purchases from US but in 2025 it was 20% of all weapon purchases.
This year its even smaller with European plus Ukraines production increasing and due to the Iran war US delaying some deliveries which may be cancelled altogether to release the money to elsewhere.

[Amy10223]

"America is once aagin respected on the world stage." Stop living in a false bubble,. The world as it is does NOT like us, respect us, and actually laughs at Trump. Everyone I know from overseas hates him. Don't waste your breath lying to us here. We know what reality is.

[exitseven]

They laughed at Biden they re not laughing at Trump expecially he Iraniuns

[Pohjolan]

@exitseven
Oh people laugh at Trump too like when he doesn't know how to use a umbrella or post AI generated polls that show that his approval rating is over 100% or when he doesn't understand basic math, etc.

[exitseven]

@Pohjolan they might laugh behind his back but they would not dare do it out in the open.

[Pohjolan]

@exitseven
You think most foreign politicians laughed at Biden in public? Ever hear of being diplomatic?

[exitseven]

@Pohjolan s ha was stumbling around you could see them smirking and pointing. God Knows what they were saying to each other.,

[Amy10223]

Are you talking about Trump and Epstein watching and ogling those young girls dancing at the Epstein Compound? You should be.

[Amy10223]

[Amy10223]

I make fun of Trump all the time. Here and in public too.

[DryGermanGuy]

He still goes around telling his rubes how he won the 2020 election, how sleepy Joe is and how much more respected ‘Murrica now is in the world. The trifecta of idiocy. 🤦‍♂️

[yeahimadude]

disappointing honestly. Its incredibly sad seeing how americans are struggling through life now because they got their hopes up for him.
I can not Imagine voting for someone who legitimately argues with the pope's message calling for world peace... not just once but twice. I just don't get it. If people like Pastor Mariann Budde, and Pope Leo's message on world peace upset you maybe its time to seriously reconsider your own thoughts.

[Tarifa]

Most see him as dangerous, impulsive and unpredictable. That's a disturbing combination in a world leader with the military power to wipe almost any country back to the stone age.

[Bklynbadboy12]

Like a joke its a shame one of the most powerful countries in the world is a joke. Trump has single handedly cheapened the position as commander and chief

[andreasderjuengere]

I see the U. S. as a raped patchwork of a once promising idea.
I see Trump as the rapist (the culmination of a series of specific predecessors) - crude, brute, primitive.

[loveslongnails]

Seems like all those "shithole 3rd world countries", and Israel, like him. Any country who has a leader with a brain knows what he is and can't stand him.

[slatyb]

The democracies hate Trump. The dictators love him.

[Ariesman81Nshiiit]

A threat to socialism... exactly what I voted for.

[BadApple69]

Who cares. Half of America is very happy with President Trump’s leadership. And Europe is turning into a Marxist hell hole so who gives a rats ass what they think.

[Amy10223]

No, we're not happy.

[BadApple69]

You are in the half that’s not happy…. That’s your hang up.

[Amy10223]

It's more like more people voted against him, not for him. He had Muskrat to help him win. Numbers didn't add up in the swing states. There is no way he won them all after no one has won them all in over 40 years. Right, I think the election was not won by him in reality.

[BadApple69]

After Biden horrific presidency where gas prices were HIGHER then they are now, Biden’s DOJ going after parents at school board meetings labeling them domestic terrorists, making it acceptable to transition children against parents will, DEI which was a code for HATE WHITE PEOPLE. Biden was destroying this great country so people (white, brown and Hispanic) wanted a change. Sorry you think there was cheating involved but not when Biden got 81 million votes more than any president in history including Obama. The fact is Trump had the right message and Biden had 4 years of the highest inflation in 45 years. You may not be able to except the truth but everything I said can simply be researched.
Question for you… why can you find every Democrat politician (Hilary, Obama, Schumer, pelosi, etc…) in the past talking about open boarders are bad and deporting illegals a necessity. But then under Biden they opened up the boarders so 12-20 million illegals freely crossed the border. Why is that?
I’ll tell you. The democrats knew they were losing the black vote and the Hispanic vote. So they knew they needed a new voter to take the place of who they were losing. So by bringing in illegals and giving them everything they (when allowed to) would vote for the democrats.

[Amy10223]

Gas prices were NOT higher under Biden. They are as bad as now and will get worse.
I always laugh at remarks about Biden’s presidency and how poor it was. It was a great exit, just do you know. Why don’t you google it for yourself instead of making baseless claims?
And while we’re on the subject of good presidents, when was the last time we ever had a convicted felon/ rapist/ insurrectionists for president? Never. Biden is and was a decent president and Trump is already down as one of the worse if not the worst. He’s right up there with Hoover.

[Amy10223]

*** great economy

[BadApple69]

I lived through Biden’s presidency, and Obama’s too. Both bad. Biden had the highest inflation in 45 years (you look it up) and the problem is…. Once prices get high they don’t normally come back down. Democrats want to tax more while Trump implemented tax breaks that put more money in everyone’s pockets. I for the first time in years actually got money back thanks to Trump. If you were not such a leftist you probably would have admitted that too.

[Amy10223]

Both Biden and Obama got us out a an economic collapse, because of Covid and one other Republican president (Bush). Look it up. The price pf gas came down worldwide about 1.5 year after Biden's presidency. Trump has put more money into the pockets of himself and his billionaire buddies, you mean. The top 2%. He cares nothing about the poor or middle class. You can lie to yourself all you want.

[Amy10223]

Not to mention--our national deficit grew 8 trillion dollars during trump's first term as he left office. He's doing the same thing now.

[BadApple69]

Both Obama and Biden cut military spending making the U. S. less safe. Biden had open borders that made the U. S. less safe. They had cashless bail making the U. S. less safe. Let’s face it…. Democrats don’t care about the American people only staying in power.

[Twalli]
