America's image plummets abroad

Does it matter to you that America is now thought of poorly around the world?

  • Yes, I want the world to think well of America

    Votes: 37 74.0%
  • No, I don't care what the rest of the world thinks about America

    Votes: 13 26.0%

  • Total voters
    50
  • Poll closed .
your joking right?

About what?

People abroad watch CNN trash Trump 24/7. I’m not sure why it’s ethical that we broadcast it to other nations.

If people internationally watched Fox, they would think Trump was a hero.

The only thing we should be broadcasting internationally is neutral news. Otherwise, this is what happens.

I’m not saying Fox is neutral BTW if that’s what you were asking.

Ummm...nature abhors a vacuum. If we abdicate our position in the world, the world will continue making money and treaties without us.

But President Biden will fix all that and get us back on a sane path so whatevs.

No. They won't. They depend upon us.

We will go back to suffering, just like we have for more than 30 years. That's why Biden won't be President.

They are creating workarounds and China is much better positioned than we are due to decades of Conservative economic policy that sold us out piece by piece. Crony capitalism failed us.
 
Since Donald Trump took office as president, the image of the United States has suffered across many regions of the globe. As a new 13-nation Pew Research Center survey illustrates, America’s reputation has declined further over the past year among many key allies and partners. In several countries, the share of the public with a favorable view of the U.S. is as low as it has been at any point since the Center began polling on this topic nearly two decades ago.

Does it hurt America?

Time for another Obama apology tour.
 
No. They won't. They depend upon us.

The world gave up depending on us when POTUS was elected.
 
You talked about trade partners though....

There are going to be countries we can't do business with for a variety of reasons, but we should be concerned when this is the case. It goes both ways. They should care about what we think of them as well and, like us, they should be seeking compromise.

Nationalism seems like it helps your country but it actually hurts more than it helps. We need to get along with our neighbors. If we don't, then both countries need to work on that, including our own. That is patriotism. Assuming we're always right and everyone who disagrees must be wrong is nationalism.

America's international reputation is hardly something to be ignored. If someone doesn't like us, especially someone who used to be an ally, we should be very concerned about this. If we are wrong, then we need to correct. If they are wrong, then we need to continue to engage and see if a compromise is possible.
 
I not much for buying friendship. It is time America looked out for the people of this country. Plus we have our hands full right now with the democrats shutting down our country and destroying our economy.

The Republicans are the ones in charge. They are the ones who "shut down the country," and they did it because of a deadly pandemic.
 
The world depends upon us regarding being allies and trade partners.

And we depend on them. It is a symbiotic relationship. The United States would weaken and lose its stance as a world leader without allies and trade partners. We are not propping them up any more than they are propping us up.

foreigners see america as being at the beginning of a decline. The trump presidency is hastening that decline. And thanks to him, china has begun its ascendancy. Nature abhors a vacuum you know.
 
Yes.

Which is why CNN needs to stop broadcasting internationally, and embarrassing us.

Or go back to being politically neutral.

If Fox were being broadcast around the world we wouldn't have this problem.

You cant be serious...... murdoch has several other fox news like stations around the globe.

As long as the money flows most countries will like us.
Its when the US money stops flowing or is reduced then they will hate us....simple concept.
Take for example Germany...the US has proposed reducing our military presents and lo and behold the Germans will now hate us for having to up their military spending to offset our present and having to cut social programs to pay for it and more importantly closing of all the whore house that serviced the US military. Putting a lot of people who service the US military out of work.

LOL!!

We absolutely ARE propping up the rest of the world.

That's why Trump got out of the Paris Accords...we were funding it. That's why Trump has laid down the law on NATO...we were funding it. That's why Trump has been renegotiating trade agreements...we were getting the short end of the stick.

And THAT's why he is getting so much push back from those other countries...including their rhetoric about "America's image plummets". They need us propping them up MUCH more than we need any of their support.

No and No.

America's image always plummets when we have a president seen as putting American interests first and foremost. It happened under Reagan and Bush as well.

Trump did not shut down the country. Trump has been trying to get the country back up and running. Trump is pushing the governors to get our children back to school. responsible leaders should have no problem doing this. We can do online schooling with chat between teachers and students. I have yet to see a kid not walking around with a phone or a tablet. They know how to work and chat on line better than most adults. Packing kids in a crowded classroom is beyond stupid and only shows how pathetic our leaders are.

Reagan actually worked with other countries as well as our allies. Hell even Gorbachev had better relations with America than most other soviet leaders and achieved a sort of acclaim in America, the UK Thatcher was pretty much Reagan’s British counterpart, Germany had more positive views after the wall fell. Bush got that because he had a “were gonna do this and **** everyone else” attitude but Britain and even Canada aided us in our efforts post 9/11. Unilateralism tends to do that. You dont know what you are talking about.
