    Once upon a time, the US was the county that liberated much of Western Europe from Nazi tyranny. One upon a time the US was the country that helped countries like Italy get back on their feet.

    But once upon a time the stereotype of the Ugly American reared itself, but never in a position of real power.

    This is an event, not a news story. But it's clearly a reflection how the US is seen even by our allies.

    The world only sees what the liberal press reports. So far they've reported that Trump hates blacks, gays, Mexicans, Muslims, women, well, pretty much everyone, and all of it without a shred of proof. None.

    The left's hatred for anyone with an R next to his name runs deep. And to think, only a few months ago the same people were claiming Trump was a democrat. How quaint.

    The European moochers aren't going to able to fund their welfare systems and ignore paying for their own national security any more as they used to depend on us to provide an umbrella over them. We aren't going to allow them to get fat off us trying to buy their approval and being expected to adopt their ideology to be acceptable to them.

    We have an alpha male in charge now who is going to consider the well being of America and Americans first instead of a globalist androgyne who sought approval from foreigners by apologizing for his own country and who believed weakness would make other nations like us and worship him.

    They can like it, or get the fainting vapors, but they will find out they aren't going to lay on the couch while we do the world's dirty work for them.

    Parts of the world have always hated the US, no matter who is in office. Some because they feel we interfere to much, some because they don't like our "morals", some because we're the biggest dog on the block, some because......well you get the point....I hope.

    There will always be populations of the world that do not like the United States. Thing is though......this is not a popularity contest, you will never be able to be popular with everyone anyway. This should be about what is best for the United States internally and externally as best as possible in balance.

    It's nice to be seen no longer as the kid at the beach who gets sand kicked in his face. It's a very refreshing change to say the least. You know, kind of like the latter part of 1942... But thanks for asking.

    Depends who you ask - here, over the seas.

    If I ask my Progressive friends they believe that the American sky is falling .... and that it will bring down our sky, too. They believe everyone in America but straight white males will soon be killed violently - especially men in dresses. They believe that poor people - who rudely don't know or care enough about the opinions of Portland hipsters, are to blame. They believe that their own privileged white experience is the only experience which matters (all others are evil, obviously), and they can actually see the sky falling from here.

    If I ask my brown and/or gay Trump fan friends, they will say something altogether different, and it's all positive.

    These are only people with a vested interest, however. I suspect the vast majority of people in other countries don't give a (*)(*)(*)(*). They'll carry on taking the family to Disneyland and Yosemite just as they've always done.

    Are you so parochial that you actually believe that the world relies on the words in American media???????

    You do realize that there are almost 200 other countries on this planet, and they all have their own media markets.

    The global animosity toward Trump comes from his arrogance, his ignorance and his apparant willingness to upend the world order that the US established and which has benefited almost everyone in the planet, and replace it with the polices of isolation, fueled by fear and resentment.

    They don't need the American "liberal press". They have Donald on video in his own words.
