In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

In three weeks, Donald Trump has imploded whatever positive image the United States might have had internationally.

If you were born in the last three weeks it may seem that way, but Joe Biden did the US' reputation abroad no favors, nor did Trump 1. Obama is less bad than those on either side of him, but his admin at best still represents stagnation, as he failed to address Bush's crimes and added to them in places like Libya. And before him was the guy who really got the ball rolling downhill after the high point that was the Clinton administration, Bush Jr.

Whatever his effect was, Obama was perceived exceptionally well. They basically have him a Nobel for just getting elected.
