The MAGA cultists wear their red hats saying "Make America Great Again."
They refuse to see the truth:
Trump has done the EXACT opposite.
China is viewed more favorably than is the US, thanks to Trump's anti-democracy, authoritarian policies.
Also, his obvious stupidity and malignant narcissism combined with his horrible personal morality.
I'm not surprised.
Is anyone?
People in Many Countries Now View China More Positively Than the U.S.
More also have confidence in Xi than Trump, according to a survey in three dozen countries
For the first time in nearly 2 decades, a new Pew Research survey—based on interviews with more than 42,000 people across 36 countries—shows China is viewed more favorably than the United States in most nations surveyed.
"This is a story driven more by an American decline in soft power than by a Chinese surge," writes expert Yanzhong Huang.

"President Trump’s authoritarian tendencies have badly damaged the United States’ image, but so long as American institutions and rule of law endure, respect for U.S. democracy and diplomacy could plausibly recover under a more conventional future administration."
The text below was sent to me in an email. It's an answer on social media to a MAGA who was bragging about Trump making America great again.
Trump wasn't the one who used the USIC and overthrew over a 100 governments with its' post-USSR USAID colour revolution strategy for former Soviet affiliated States and proxies.
ReplyDeleteTrump was seemingly trying to reverse those disasterous NED/NDI/IRI/USIP Democracy building (irony) ventures before BiBi sucked him into Iran... and now backing Zelinskyy
ReplyDeleteWe do NOT need a more conventional future administration. The conventional democratic administration is equally as supportive of a failing predatory capitalist system. An economic system that favors wealth accumulation at the very top at the expense of the working class and the working poor. The politics of the conventional democratic party supports the capitalist class every bit as much as the now fascist republican party.
ReplyDeleteThe ONLY thing that will save this rapidly declining Empire is a complete break with the past conventional democractic AND republican ideologies and policies that have constantly supported the ruling capital class and the ignorant MIC. A complex feeding the capital class responsible for destruction and death.
This nation's continuing support for the butchering genocidal Zionist state of Israel and its Greater Israel bulls**t makes us as guilty as the stinking Zionists.
Frankly, being an American today, under present circumstances (created by We the People) is as likely to bring shame as pride.
Well, Les, maybe what they mean by a "more conventional future administration" is one that doesn't have a convicted felon and adjudicated sexual assaulter/rapist as the head of the government. IOW someone who isn't a criminal and stupid.
DeleteAt the very least, that would be a change from what the MAGA Republicans have given us.
As for a complete break with the ruling capital class and MIC, well, that will take generations. But it must change.
Timidity insures continuation of the status quo.
DeleteUnlikely, but possible - Dems win house and senate, impeach the sitting Prez.
ReplyDeleteThen they have the ICE men rough him up and deport him to Iran. What a pleasant dream.
Your points above, less your support for trump the fascist, I find myself in partial agreement with you, Thersites.
ReplyDeletePut Rand Paul in charge of the SSCI as well as the HSGAC (current chair)! That way he'd control BOTH sides of the Intelligence Street, domestic & foreign and could actually reform it, instead of "pretend' reform it.
DeleteWhile I am in disagreement with much of Paul's politics you have a valid point. And frankly, Rand Paul would make a by far better president than the trumpster is or ever could be. I was actually suprized (as well as disappointed) he's supported the trumpster at all.
DeleteIt seems the people who believed biden was competent also believed falsi was truthful and did a lot of good during covid. As the truth comes out biden was senile and falsi was a fake liar who was more interested in fame than competence.
ReplyDeleteThe we hate trump party is trying to convince the public they are not socialist after showing they only care about themselves and will do anything to win.
BB, lets let iran have a nuclear weapon then they can wipe out Israel and mandani and Les will be happy.
Could you explain to me what your comment has to do with the fact that 42,000 people across 36 countries now view China more favorably than the US? And that Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan is a failure.
DeleteApparently, the post showing actual facts about how Trump has contributed to the decline in US favorability -- leadership -- that we've enjoyed for decades around the world was too painful for you to comment on, so you decided to come here and change the subject by throwing accusations (without evidence) at Dr. Fauci.
I did take the time to see if what you wrote is factual. It is NOT. I did read that Newsmax interviewed a MAGA Congressman who was happy to accuse Dr. Fauci, but had no definitive facts to back his accusations up.
I found THIS:
"Dr. Anthony Fauci's private diary entries do not contain explicit admissions of illegal wrongdoing or a "smoking gun", but critics argue they show a disconnect between his private notes and public statements regarding COVID-19 lockdowns, virus origins, and his focus on media fame. The journals record Fauci’s astonishment at his explosive global fame, cataloging flattering media profiles, interactions with Hollywood celebrities."
I will not post anything else on this. What's going on in the hearings is typical partisan hackery because Trump's MAGA courtiers don't want Americans to focus on his disastrous war in Iran, costing us billions. It's easier to get certain Americans angry over Dr. Fauci and what happened 6 years ago than to face Trump's failures now.
No skudsie wudsie, Les would not be happy if the Israeli people were wiped out. Nor did Mayor Mamdani say he would be happy if the Israeli people where wiped out.
DeleteAnd yes, we both believe the filthy butchering genocidal Zionist government should be held responsible as well as accountable for their genocide of the Palestinian people.
Further, Iran never wanted nuclear weapons. It is totally against the Islamic religion. But apparently you're too ignorant to know this. Prefering to listen to the lying Netanyahu and the trumpster.q
But now? I would not lame then one iota if they did develop nuclear capabilities. Iran needs it for self defense against the butchering Zionist state and now the USA and its maniacal president, who started the unjust and unnecessary war against Iran at the urging of the filthy butcher Netanyahu and his fascist Zionist government.
So skudsie, stop trying to put words in my mouth. I is beneath you. Or at least I once thought it was. But apparently I was wrong.
