Meanwhile, China kept improving its global standing, overtaking the U.S. for the first time and recording mostly positive perceptions in all regions except Europe. Russia, the reputation of which tanked in the wake of President Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, is still (slightly) more unpopular than the U.S. " though its image is also improving.
Trump's reputation is in line with that of his country. The survey showed he's less popular worldwide than his Russian and Chinese counterparts, Putin and Xi Jinping.

The orange pedo is loathed more than Putin. That's impressive.

We can't be trusted now. As a country, we are Pete Hogsbreath, Cash Paddle, and Pam Blondie.

"The US in now viewed less favorably than China"

Why shouldn't it be?
The United States is under an invasion from illegals that not even President Trump can stop!
Just ask an Republican, and they will tell you the United States is a shithole country and Trump needs to clean it up ASAP.

I know when I travel, I either say I'm from Canada or I feel the need to apologize. I am embarrassed to say I'm from the USA.

Republicans are getting what they always wanted!

For America to be reviled in the world.

For the rest of the world to never want to come here and steal our White Women.

Not surprising.

Just look at the tariff situation.... China has been acting as the adult in the room, looking more at the long term than the capricious whims of Pres Trump's short-term uncertainty.

The party's over... The days of taking advantage of Americans has come to an end, I can see why the world is sad. Get in line for fair trade, take your loser prisoners back home, and no more free money for your silly wars.

Has it?

Or have Pres Trump's capricious trade policies encouraged other countries to find new trading partners besides the US?

And how might that result in one of Pres Trump's stated goals of bringing manufacturing back to the US?

...bringing manufacturing back to the US?

Why build planes in the US when Qatar will just gift them to you?
