The world has lost all respect for the U.S.

(KL) – The question arises as to what is worse – having a president with behavioral problems or the fact that around 40% of Americans still worship this president with behavioral problems like a saint and believe every lie he tells. It is no longer worth analyzing every single lie this man tells and proving it to be a lie, but some examples are really blatant.

Every day, Trump talks about how much the world respects him, how Western leaders call him “Daddy” (come on, who was it? Actually, it can only have been NATO boss Mark Rutte…) and, believe it or not, Trump braggs how many European countries would like to have him as their leader. Except that for a year now, since he took office for his second term, the world has not only considered Trump a madman suffering from multiple pathologies, but the image of Americans has also been permanently damaged. The fact that about half of American voters consider this clown to be some kind of messiah casts an unpleasant light on Americans, once again highlighting the disastrous effects of cuts to the education system – a dumbed-down population elects a president with behavioral problems.

However, it would be helpful if Americans understood that the world does not consider MAGA to be a great event, but is watching closely as Trump and his accomplices ruin everything they touch. The rest of the world also sees Trump’s incredible lies, which are constantly parroted by his parrots Noem, Leavitt, Bondi, Hegseth, Vance and the others, even though the whole world sees and knows that nothing Trump says in his baby talk is true.

How can you respect an old man who is involved in every war and almost every scandal on this planet and constantly whines that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize? Such prizes are not awarded to those who whine the loudest, but to those who deserve them. And that is certainly not the case with Trump.

The reason why the world has lost all respect for Trump is Trump himself. The self-proclaimed peacemaker has not ended a single war, despite claiming to have done so at every opportunity, and he also threatens a whole host of countries on an almost daily basis. Canada, Cuba, Colombia, Greenland, Nigeria – and the list goes on. There is only one country Trump doesn’t dare to threaten – Russia and his buddy “Vladimir,” who probably has such a thick dossier on Trump that he doesn’t even dare to apply his globally introduced punitive tariffs to Russia.

Punitive tariffs, indeed. All over the world, people are surprised that American voters don’t understand that punitive tariffs don’t mean that the governments of the affected countries are lining up in Washington with big punitive tariff checks, but that these punitive tariffs are paid by them. States don’t pay punitive tariffs; importers of foreign goods pay them and, of course, immediately pass them on to their customers. The fact that American voters themselves do not understand such simple things naturally reinforces the image of Americans as uneducated and uninterested in anything. And it will take decades before anyone takes Americans seriously again. But of course, “Daddy” Trump doesn’t tell them that.

Americans cannot yet gauge the damage that the orange clown is currently inflicting on their country and the whole world.
