This analysis focuses on public opinion of the United States in 13 countries in North America, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. Views of the U.S. and its president are examined in the context of long-term trend data. The report also examines how people in other countries perceive America’s handling of the coronavirus outbreak and how those perceptions compare to ratings for their own country, the World Health Organization, the European Union and China.

1. Ya think?

6 billion people (and 52% of us) think this guy would have made a better POTUS than the current maggot:

2. Agreed, badly handled

Population of Australia is 25,557,148
Australian corona virus deaths 816.

America population 330,150,668
American covid deaths 200,000

If scaled up to US population level, the Australian number of deaths would be around 12,000.

Of course, other countries have worse numbers. But they don't have the vastly superior health system of America. /sarcasm

3. Zip, zilch, zero confidence in republican leadership

Ok maybe not zero, but it is pretty clear who is out of step here.

4. Well, We Did Handle

it badly, but Europe needs to shut their mouths. A look at their recent numbers doesn't exactly paint a picture of wonderful pandemic management. If that's even possible, which I kind of think it isn't. Looking at you, France, UK, and some others.

5. What are you talking about?

On a recent day, Germany had 3 die and UK had 7 - US - 1000. They, by every measurement available, did light years better than us while drumpf lied about it daily. - They, and Canada, and most of the rest of the world, have every reason to be scathing about drumpf who is killing us out of active malice, grifting opportunity and severe laziness. Only Sweden and Brazil have actively been killing their people at the same rate as the USA is doing.
