It's almost like governments and people prefer a leader that doesn't treat international relations like they just finished the first chapter in Power Plays - How to be the shittiest person in the boardroom (and suck up to those shittier than you)

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Amazing what not having a drooling imbecile at the helm does for a country's reputation.
that's because for better or worse, the president is the face of the country and Trump is a very ugly person physically, mentally, and spiritually so it's natural the opinion would wane while he was president.
He could be the sexiest person out there and my opinion of him would not change. Conversely, I would prefer the Hunchback of Notre Dame if they were an actual capable leader.
Trump's damning ugliness is his personality.
Physical appearance should not factor in our evaluation of a leader's capabilities.
During the whole 'Russian-Prigozhin-Putin' fiasco I realized 'It's nice that the U.S. is no longer being seen as the chaos idiot of the world.' Every day with Trump the world woke up waiting to see what lunacy that moron was going to come up with, and whether it would kill us all.
Surprising absolutely no one.
Isn't that the whole point? The slogan isn't "World Opinion First", after all. They view all politics as a zero-sum game with winners and losers.
If a Trump administration makes choices that make the US unpopular among the rest of the world, they think that means they're doing something right.
Yep, merely obnoxious rather than insane. ( I joke, all friends here!)
Inside America. Not so much.
