World Not Liking US ? Good!

[protectionist]

In a general discussion of President Trump's relationship with the world, the PBS host seemed unbiased, and just asking neutral questions. Two guests were present. One, Gideon Rose, the editor of the journal Foreign Affairs, a clear-cut Trump basher, and the other was Elliot Abrams, former foreign policy diplomat during the Reagan and Bush 41 administrations. Abrams defended Trump for the most part. Finally, fair balance in a liberal TV show.

One point in the discussion stood out. Trump basher Rose, said that since Trump became president, the US has lost the respect of the rest of the world. He's dead wrong. He intentionally or unintentionally, used the wrong word. The word the Trump basher should have used is "like".

Actually, since Obama's spineless, weak, groveling and apologizing has left the White House, the world DOES ow respect us, and President Trump, much more. The world may not like us as much as before. Well, good! Because their liking was the kind of liking that a con man or swindler has for a victim, whom he takes advantage of. We don't need that kind of liking.

We don't need the unfair trade agreements (NAFTA, TPP, etc) of the Obama years. We don't need the cooperation with Mexico, China, India, et al who wage imperialism upon us, by extracting $133 Biion/year (remittances) out of our economy, reinserting it into theirs (AKA international burglary). We don't need to be paying their poverty bills, as they play on our 14th amendment, and dump anchor babies on us, suckering us for Billions$$/year more.

So when you take away a cheater's ability to cheat you, 2 things happen. >>

1. The liking stops.

2. The respect begins.

That is so funny, the world has always disliked America because America represents the principles that the cowardly leaders in most countries won't support as they fear individual liberty and freedom. There are a handful who historically represent similar values, France jumps to mind, though they are obviously having problems of late.

As a funny aside, there was a funny undercover video of an American couple who went to France during the W Bush years and they had hidden cameras and were purposely acting loud, obnoxious and belligerent to see how others would react, to their surprise most of the French laughed with them and took photos with them for all their days. It surprised even the shows producers. The only ones who gave them hell and acted angry were other Americans who were now living in France and at a restaurant the American woman went up to the undercover couple and told them to "knock it off, you are embarrassing us and our country".

There are some angry because they see America cutting off the taps to their big financial bonanzas they have been abusing at the expense of the American taxpayer. Otherwise, nothing has changed, it's just become much better for American citizens whereas in the past it was nothing but full throttle exploitation.

I have never cared what the world thought of us.

except for S Korea, there are no other countries where people risk painful death to get too.

So fuck them and fuck all you leftist America haters.

Those trade agreements started with Reagan negotiating the ideas with the two nations...You could clearly see with his push of normalization of trade with China by lobbying Congress for a "most favored nation" position for China we were headed into reverse mercantilism and the fleecing of the American populace..Now that labor prices and protective laws are being adopted by the host nations for US manufacturers overseas, some seek to come back to the US and reopen manufacturing plants...

The trade agreements basically were made for the capitalist and the capitalist took their profits and hid them offshore... Yet for some reason I am suppose to buy their products and support their tax cuts...All I can say is welcome to capitalism.....and you think socialism sucks..

Cut-and-run Democrat Donald J. Trump in 2007: “I think Bush is probably the worst president in the history of the United States. The rest of the world hates us."

Birther Donald J. Trump on Obama: “The world hates our president.”

I just love it when the pseudocons' own benchmarks come back and bitch slaps them in the face, especially when they hire a two-faced retard apprentice as their boss.

>> Trump and many of his key policies are broadly unpopular around the globe, and ratings for the U.S. have declined steeply in many nations. According to a new Pew Research Center survey spanning 37 nations, a median of just 22% has confidence in Trump to do the right thing when it comes to international affairs. This stands in contrast to the final years of Barack Obama’s presidency, when a median of 64% expressed confidence in Trump’s predecessor to direct America’s role in the world.

The sharp decline in how much global publics trust the U.S. president on the world stage is especially pronounced among some of America’s closest allies in Europe and Asia, as well as neighboring Mexico and Canada. Across the 37 nations polled, Trump gets higher marks than Obama in only two countries: Russia and Israel.

In countries where confidence in the U.S. president fell most, America’s overall image has also tended to suffer more. In the closing years of the Obama presidency, a median of 64% had a positive view of the U.S. Today, just 49% are favorably inclined toward America. Again, some of the steepest declines in U.S. image are found among long-standing allies. << --- U.S. Image Suffers as Publics Around World Question Trump’s Leadership

Long time ago I read Orwell's 1984. I was pretty sure I finished the novel and closed the book. Apparently there walk among us those who still live there.

Yes...they are all well and good as we use our money and troops to keep them safe and allows them to spend vast amounts of their money on social welfare states. It would be nice if they just didn't say anything as our soldiers sacrifice to keep them safe...

Ummmm --- got nooz for ya Sprinkles. Oil companies don't operate "here" --- they operate all over the world, by definition. Again unless you're talking about nationalizing them and going it alone, that's how the world works. We're all on the same planet, regardless of your building a tree house with "NO GURLS" painted on it.

Shell is a Dutch company. BP is British. Et cetera. Their allegiance is to their stockholders ---- not to any country's flag.

So in the general topic, unless the OP's got another planet he's scouted out and put a down payment on --- inasmuch as we're part of the world, that world not liking us is in no way describable as "good". Isolationism doesn't make you "good" --- it makes you "North Korea".

The world always has and always will hate us no matter what we do. That's one thing I learned from hosteling abroad and why I have the xenophobic, seething hatred of non-Americans that I do and I'll never leave the US borders again. Not only are they GUILTIER of every negative thing for which they stereotype Americans, non-Americans are all about using this country for every free advantage they can while cursing our existence at the same time. Non-Americans are the ultimate parasites who can never, ever get over their childish, small-dick inferiority complex about us. History has shown that our European so-called "allies" have never met an American-hater they didn't like.

And has anyone noticed that non-Americans have this voyeuristic, stalker-like obsession with things that go on within our own borders that don't affect them and are none of their business (a certain Welsh member here comes to mind)?

America represents strength. Or, at least it use to (pre obama). The world likes a weak America. It makes weak countries look better. Then came Trump. He ain't taking shit from nobody. The world don't like that.
Glad I could help.

HA HA. The OP went right over your head. It explained WHY the unfavorable from the world has gone up. OP's answer was > "Well good!" Try reading it again. Maybe this time, slower.

EARTH TO POGO: The US image "suffers" in the eyes of the rest of the world, only if you assininely support their hands in our pockets (ex. Pakistan) Get with it.

FALSE! It most certainly IS good. It is simply a matter on not letting con job thieves take advantage of you, as was the case with weak, groveling, bowing, ass-kissing Obama. Just because you don't allow other countries to rip you off, doesn't mean you're isolating yourself. Get a life.
