Arrogant, intolerant, even dangerous. The world describes Trump in new poll





“Arrogant, intolerant, even dangerous.” The world describes Trump in new poll

Donald Trump's cruel policies are in direct opposition to the words on the Statue of Liberty: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."

Not even six months into his presidency, Donald Trump seems more intent on creating tired, poor, huddled masses than welcoming and helping them.

And his war on the poor and the vulnerable is an all-encompassing, global venture that is already tarnishing the reputation of America in the eyes of the world.

While Trump’s approval ratings hover below 40 percent at home, his numbers are starkly lower with some of our most valued allies.

When asked about their confidence in the U.S. president to “do the right thing” regarding world affairs, Pew research shows a stark contrast between responses regarding Trump compared to those about President Barack Obama:

Germany: 86 percent (Obama) vs. 11 percent (Trump)
France: 84 percent (Obama) vs. 14 percent (Trump)
South Korea: 86 percent (Obama) vs. 17 percent (Trump)
United Kingdom: 79 percent (Obama) vs. 22 percent (Trump)
Japan: 78 percent (Obama) vs. 24 percent (Trump)

According to Pew, “In the eyes of most people surveyed around the world, the White House’s new occupant is arrogant, intolerant, and even dangerous.”..........................

I would be scared shitless by his tough talk. If he starts a war with NK, Japan is a sitting duck.

Mountain Dew Camacho. Love that movie, but I never thought it was a documentary, until Trump took office.

Maybe we can take up a collection to bribe a White House aide to stick this among the pictures of himself he gazes at each morning. Other Presidents poured over PDBs, but Trump can't be bothered. He just looks at photos of himself. The aide would have to type TRUMP on the page a few dozen times, so he'd be sure to look at it, because it's said that he loses interest in things quickly if he doesn't see his name in print every few words.

It sure would be worth it. If ANYTHING infuriates the Orange shit-stain it's a negative comparison to President Obama. He'll have a stroke one of these mornings. Then we'll have to deal with President Pence, but one jerk-off at a time.
