Trump at rally: The US is "respected again" around world. Pew Research tweets real numbers.

[highplainsdem]

As far as I can tell from the timing of Daniel Dale's tweet, this Pew Research tweet wasn't a direct response to what Trump said tonight, but they might have anticipated the bragging.

Their timing was perfect.

Trump: "I just left the United Nations last week, and I can tell you, and everybody else can tell you, and even the fake news can tell you: America is respected again." Leaders literally laughed at him at the UN when he boasted of his accomplishments.

Their article about the poll results that they linked to:

http://www.pewglobal.org/2018/10/01/2-faith-in-the-u-s-president-remains-low/

Confidence in the American president to do the right thing regarding world affairs is largely unchanged this year – with a few notable exceptions – from 2017. A median of 27% in 25 nations surveyed say they trust in President Donald Trump’s handling of international issues, while 70% do not have confidence in him. In only four countries – the Philippines, Israel, Nigeria and Kenya – does more than half the public voice trust in the U.S. president. Such confidence has gone up significantly in only three nations – South Korea (up 27 percentage points), Israel (up 13 points) and Poland (up 12 points). It is down significantly in Russia, by 34 percentage points.

Regionally, a median 18% of Europeans surveyed are positively disposed toward Trump, but 82% say they lack confidence in the current U.S. leader. And for many this is a fairly intense sentiment: 69% of French, Germans and Spanish; 56% of Swedes; and roughly half of Dutch and Greeks say they have no confidence at all in Trump.

Trump fares slightly better in the Asia-Pacific region, where a median of 32% see him favorably and 54% lack confidence. Opinions differ widely in the region: 78% of Filipinos give Trump a thumbs-up, but 66% of Japanese and Australians are not confident in him. In the three Latin American nations polled, overwhelming majorities say they have no confidence in Trump, including 78% of Mexicans who say they have no confidence at all. Among the limited number of African countries surveyed, majorities in Kenya and Nigeria express confidence in the U.S. president.

1. I trust Kavanaugh's #1 ranking was as top pervert

ETA - Israel, Nigeria and the Philippines - looks like W's "coalition of the willing."

[Initech]

2. Really? Our government right now is run by creeps, perverts, and a shitty tabloid trash TV network.

If this is "winning", can we go back to losing please?

3. Off topic but has he said anything about that Chicago cop being convicted?

I’m shocked that he hasn’t.

[highplainsdem]

5. Haven't heard of him saying anything about that.

[groundloop]

10. And he won't.... it's not about him.

[iluvtennis]

14. And it's not inline with his race baiting that ppl of color kill cops. The cop murdered the kid in

this case

[smirkymonkey]

4. K&R

Either completely delusional or lying through his teeth again. Either way, never believe anything that he says.

[moondust]

6. The "opinions of mankind"

probably deserve a "decent respect" from Donny, as per the Declaration of Independence. Starting with an honest recognition.

[Maraya1969]

7. This is off topic too. I remember Kavanaugh saying he was top of his class but he was cum laude

"Kavanaugh, who graduated cum laude,'

Com laude is very respectible but it is not "top of your class" I thought he meant he was number 1 in his class!


From Wiki

Graduating With Honors Requirements:

Graduation with honors cum laude requirements vary.
Cum laude grade point average estimates: gpa for cum laude - 3.5 to 3.7;
gpa for magna cum laude - 3.8 to 3.9;
gpa for summa cum laude - 4.0+.
Magna cum laude gpa and summa cum laude gpa can tie, broken by additional factors.

16. 1/2 of those Yale classes graduate cum laude. So not a big deal.

8. The Germans and the Dutch think he's mental.

I cannot wait to be in Mexico next week...

9. Damage control to try to repair his fake tough guy image.

The world watched as another American leader bawled and threw a tantrum. Picking fights with another senior citizen, and bullying female reporters isn't going to help.

11. That's why they laughed at you at the U.N.

Dumbshit!

13. "Feared". Sorry, he meant FEARED.

The only thing close to respect Donald Trump has has ever gotten in his entire life is when he's made people afraid of him.

He doesn't know they're different things.

So, when he claims respect, just keep in mind, to him, FEAR = Respect.

[Martin Eden]

17. We know Trump is a pathological liar

But he's apparently delusional as well.
