World population in 1945 - 2.3 billion

World population in 2024 - 8.2 billion

I'm talking numbers, not percentages (although Trump might still have Hitler beat there as well, thanks to the internet).

I was born decades after Hitler died and I hate him.

Wait, just saw the lifetime thing

Anyways you'd be surprised by the amount of people uncaring of American politics in India and china, or even supporting trump.

I'm specifically talking about while the person is still alive because once they're dead, what you think of them is moot.

People all over care about American politics. America keeps the Peoples Republic of China from invading the Republic of China, is helping Ukraine resist Russia, provides a lot of support for its allies

Different presidents alter American foreign policy

Last time Trump was ineffective. This time we worry that he may have more effective plans for holding power than last time, and the rest of the world worries about a weaker America

There's also a lot of people who like Hitler and Trump.
