We were supposed to be the laughingstock of the world, and Donald Trump was supposed to give America its respect back again.

Well it turns out, that American was hugely popular and respected before Trump. Now our closest friends and allies treat us like we have BO or something. Way to make us great and respected again.

Last week, the White House confirmed that Trump's state visit to the United Kingdom has been delayed until 2018.

The delay comes amid concern that there will be mass protests against Trump in the British capital....

Earlier this year, more than 1.8 million people signed a petition seeking to block the trip over fears that it would "cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen."

Separately, Trump's tweets about London Mayor Sadiq Khan in the aftermath of the London Bridge terrorist attack drew condemnation from across the British political spectrum, prompting Khan to call on the British government to cancel Trump's visit.

Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn has also voiced his support for canceling Trump's trip.

Here is what the world thinks of the US now since the election of Donald Trump:

Donald Trump as a world leader is less popular now than even Russia's Vladimir Putin, despite his violent annexation of Crimea and meddling in elections of multiple other countries, and China's Xi Jinping.

Your class, erudition, and sophistication suggest you are a Trump supporter. It's getting easy to spot you guys. Like Mr. Trump himself, you just drip class.
 
Whoa!

According to that PEW study, Trump polls lower than Putin? :shock:
 
The Brits don't like us. I'm shocked. Wake me up when it's over.

No one likes us. Well, actually, I take that back. The Russians like us. We make good puppets.

The Russian people have always liked us, even during the Soviet days.

People are different than their governments. The US today is actually hugely popular aming many Middle Eastern countries, even like Iran. But even they don't like Trump.

When I'm done here I'm going straight to the Lake of Fire and I'm going to stay there till this is all sorted out.

Trump can say just like Obama, that he failed because of the opposition, although as the graph portrays, this is the difference between Democrat and Republican these days.

Do you think Susie text while driving is going to get this?
 
Well atleast Donald Trump makes the job easy for comedians in UK and all of the world.



The it comes to diplomacy Trump even fails then it comes to low hanging fruits.

Like for example UK should want to have a good relathinship with the American president because of Brexit.

Thet same with Australia that they have a conservative goverment with anit immigrations policy so they should get a long with Trump. Instead you have the Australian prime minister making fun out of Donald Trump.



Donald Trump even have very low confidence ratings in European countries with very conservative and anti immigration goverments like for example Hungary there only 29 have conficne in Trump and Poland there only 23 percent have confidence in Donald Trump.

Also in Israel one of few countries that still support Trump you got headlines like this "Anti-Semitic, racist Reddit user behind Trump anti-CNN tweet", because Trump didn't bother having his his staff check out there the videos he post comes from.

That soon it maybe it will only be the politcal elite in countries like Saudi Arabia and Russia that support Donald Trump.

The far right Polish PM must have got all 23% of his people who like Trump on the streets to cheer him on his visits. It was either bus them in, or coerce the ones who lived locally but didn't like him.
Trump has apparently told Theresa May that he'll visit Britain when she can guarantee a warm welcome. That'll be never, then.

Spain would probably a better country for Donald Trump to visit with their new harsh laws against peacfull protests.

Or he could visit Saudi Arabia again. With a regime that both sentence blogger that question the religius police to 1 000 lashes and crush peacfull protest in neighboring countries.

That Donald Trump seem to care more about that people don't protest against him than he cares about democracy and freedom of speech.
