Trump is destroying America’s standing in the world, possibly for decades to come.
Courtesy of Business Insider:
President Donald Trump is presiding over the deterioration of the US’s position on the world stage as European countries increasingly look toward China as a future global leader.
This shift is apparent in a series of recent opinion polls that found European sentiment toward the US to be in decline since the start of the coronavirus pandemic.
New polling published in Germany this week found that an overwhelming majority of Germans said they had a worse opinion of the US because of the pandemic.
The survey found that 76% of Germans said their view of the US had deteriorated because of the pandemic, compared with 36% who said the same of China.
Separate polling conducted in the UK also found a deterioration in Britain’s view of the US since the pandemic began.
Asked at the end of last month whether Britain should forge a stronger relationship with Europe or with the US, 35% of Brits told the pollsters YouGov that Europe should be the priority, compared with just 13% who said the US.
That’s a net shift of 6 percentage points toward Europe since early November and came despite Britain’s exit from the European Union in January.
The shift comes amid global shock about recent interventions by President Donald Trump on the coronavirus pandemic.
The president’s comments speculating that disinfectant might be used to treat coronavirus patients caused widespread disbelief and horror in many European countries.
“Over more than two centuries, the United States has stirred a very wide range of feelings in the rest of the world: love and hatred, fear and hope, envy and contempt, awe and anger,” the Irish Times columnist Fintan O’Toole wrote last month in response to Trump’s comments.
“But there is one emotion that has never been directed towards the US until now: pity.”
I don’t know about every other American but I think one of the very last things I wanted other countries to feel toward us is pity.
And to be honest we don’t deserve it.
After all we did this to ourselves.
Not just by voting for Trump, which I find completely unforgivable, but also by allowing negative press about Clinton convince you to stay home, or by refusing to participate because your favorite candidate did not win the nomination.
If we have not yet learned after this how vitally important it is to participate in our democracy I fear it is a lesson that we will never learn.
Your summation, Gryph, look at the covidiots during this pandemic!
No difference whatsoever.

BAHAHAHHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHA
You people make everyday voting Americans laugh with the stupid. Thank you for the laughter.

“I tested very positively in another sense. So, this morning, yeah, I tested positively toward negative, right? No, I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning I tested negative,” Trump fumbled.
“But that’s the way it’s taken, positively toward the negative.”
Why should they see otherwise?
If he is re-elected, “there’s your sign.”
So trump has taken us from laughing stock to pity, not surprised.
Because we’re not. He isn’t destroying it. He’s already destroyed it. The U.S. is NOT a world leader. It’s a laughingstock. And the president of the United states is not the leader of the free world. He is the butt of jokes. Canada, France and Germany have stepped up to fill that roll.
It took this assclown 4 years to destroy what it took 200 years to build. But he had plenty of help. Moscow Mitch McConnell and the Death Party recently. But we mustn’t forget the contributions of Karl Rove and Dick Cheney. And the party leaders that put Helluva job Georgie in office, TWICE, through cheating, chicanery, fraud and deception. They are all to blame for where we are now.
Yet another treaty we’re withdrawing from.

“The Trump administration notified international partners on Thursday that it is pulling out of a treaty that permits 30-plus nations to conduct unarmed, observation flights over each other’s territory — overflights set up decades ago to promote trust and avert conflict.
The administration says it wants out of the Open Skies Treaty because Russia is violating the pact, and imagery collected during the flights can be obtained quickly at less cost from U.S. or commercial satellites. Exiting the treaty, however, is expected to strain relations with Moscow and upset European allies and some members of Congress.
President Dwight Eisenhower first proposed that the United States and the former Soviet Union allow aerial reconnaissance flights over each other’s territory in July 1955. At first, Moscow rejected the idea, but President George H.W. Bush revived it in May 1989, and the treaty entered into force in January 2002. Currently, 34 nations have signed it; Kyrgyzstan has signed but not ratified it yet.”
Because what was good enough for Eisenhower apparently isn’t good enough for Trump. Nothing is unless he thought of it.

Setting aside the macabre tastelessness of calling your campaign operation the “Death Star” while your candidate is recklessly mismanaging a runaway epidemic that has killed close to 100,000 of his own people, even as a pop-culture reference it’s absurdly off-base. Does Parscale know that things didn’t end well for the Death Star?
Trump campaign manager Brad Parscale has consulted Rove since the 2018 midterm elections, per three people familiar with the discussions. Before the pandemic, Rove had advised the Trump campaign it could be modeled, in some ways, after the Bush 2004 re-election race.
Bush’s Brain and Trump’s ego are going to ride Brad Parscale’s Death Star into November.

The Republican Party is completely corrupt. The last 2 Republican Presidents lost the popular vote. The Supreme Court stole the WH from Al Gore and the Russians assisted the dumb, orange turd into the WH. Republican corruption has been done through the courts, add Barr’s Justice Department, The Federalist Society, constant gerrymandering and voter suppression and foreign interference.
Other countries should pity us.
Electoral colleges CAN be bought.
Pure and simple.
lol. The electoral college fulfilled the will of the people. PERIOD.
LOL, I wanna hear you say that when trump LOSES in NOV, you will be whining that they are corrupt, Biden paid them off, Obama bribed them and the election was rigged.
No, really it is only the Democrats that try to move the goalposts of the Laws of the Land when they don’t win.
Let’s not forget how once Palin entered the picture, there was no going back. She lit the kindling.
It is time to drop the loser Gryphen. seriously, the trolls are better.
Remember Karl Rove insisting Obama hadn’t won Ohio 2012 hissy fit on Fox as “Obama wins” on the screen behind him?
Oops, something went wrong, and they had four years to perfect it. MY story and sticking to it.
They do what they do because their belief in salvation, as they falsely understand it, does not allow for evolution, and therefore denies life itself.
Well the pinhead not only infected the Ford workers by not covering his butt hole mouth and insulted them, but just announced he can’t possible be a billionaire because he can’t afford to buy a Ford automobile, too expensive.
I guess Ford Motor learned their lesson, expect to be demeaned and insulted when hosting trump. they should have told him to stay home, I don’t think they appreciated him bring up Henry Ford, NAZI sympathizer either.
Or maybe that is his way of asking for a freebie, LOL MR. Cheapo
the rest of us just want him out of our state.
I just read about Trump’s comment to Ford workers. He is clearly the vilest person on the planet right now. And he didn’t even have the decency to wear a face mask while in the plant. Who knows what kind of spittle was spewing forth from his mouth when he was talking.

“He wore a mask during a private viewing of three Ford GTs from over the years,” Ford said in a statement cited by NPR. “The President later removed the mask for the remainder of the visit.”

he “didn’t want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it.”
Ford officials wore facial coverings while Trump, senior adviser Hope Hicks and chief of staff Mark Meadows went without masks for the public portion of the tour.

“I think he’s a kook,” Graham says at the start of the ad. “I think he’s crazy. I think he’s unfit for office.”
“But the new Lindsey stands for nothing but his reelection… This November, vote him out.”

Trump bragged about once being named “Man of the Year” in Michigan during his visit to a Ford plant earlier on Thursday, the “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” host deemed it necessary to highlight the many, many times the president has made the claim.
Despite extensive investigations by HuffPost and other media outlets last year, no evidence exists of the award that Trump so loves to talk about.

The history of political advertising offers a glimpse into why ads like this one can come to define a politician’s candidacy for better or worse. Ads that effectively tap into the collective cultural zeitgeist can become harbingers of a candidate’s fate in a way that political polling will never be able to do. Numbers can’t effectively capture the moment when advertising causes perceptions to harden into actual beliefs that govern voter decisions come election time.

Mr. President, it is a federal crime to withhold money from states with the purpose of interfering with people’s right to vote. So, you may want to talk with your lawyer Bill Barr about that and that would be my advice for the president.
