As a citizen and then a candidate, Trump’s oft-repeated line: “The world is laughing at us,” has come to fruition
Trump promised an increase of respect for the US worldwide. But the lack thereof was based on a lie. If anything America’s prestige has suffered since his election.
However, if you measure respect in terms of fear or creating a global environment where people feel threatened, then Trump is your man. According to apoll from earlier this year, nations that see America’s power and influence as a major threat has steadily risen under the Trump administration. In 2013, under former president Obama’s administration, only 25 percent of nations surveyed felt the US was a major threat.
Additionally, as Pew points out, that increase is directly related to people’s “confidence in the US president to do the right thing regarding world affairs.”The Godfather
