No, you're not a proud American.  You're a disgrace.  A true American would care about the USA's reputation worldwide.

There is also a chance that a snowball in hell can survive- but I have faith that eventually most Americans who voted for this meglomaniac will realize what they have done and start to support sanity.

I agree with you, he's been in office 5 months and needs time and will be better than obama.

 

America hasn't been in favor with many nations and its people since WWII and yes I know first hand how Americans are hated. What's embarrassing now are these leftist resistance idiots.

 

I do my part and tell anyone willing to listen they are unhinged :) 

That wasn't a colonoscopy, it was a lobotomy.  You are probably happier than me though!

Trump farts out of his mouth on Monday.  MSM spices it up and will blather on endlessly about it until the next weekly terrorist attack somewhere, or until Trump farts out of his mouth again - whichever comes first. 

 

Mission Accomplished!  Good job! 

 

 

 

 

My advise is to get your info from credible sources.  If you think it's BS, it probably is

Most Americans did not vote for him.  Please look up the distribution and non voters

Which way these surveys and polls spin is largely determined by who is in the center spinning them, remember the polls that put Hillary in the lead.

She was in the lead.

She got millions more votes.

Of course nobody is happy. Trump is stopping the free gravy train to the rest of the world. Even though the US were giving Billions in aid they were still hated. Now they have a realist who puts the US first and is stopping the free handouts. I hope a few other Western democracies follow.

No just the opposite! The silent majority is rockin' now and will continue for the next 8 years. Obama was taking us down the Socialist Europe Route and bankrupting us on the way. That has come to a stop! In two years everything Obama did will be reversed and America's Economy will be booming! God Bless America, while we make America Great Again. We are 5-0 in elections since President Trump took over! The Progressive Socialists Democrats of America (PSDA) are in decline and

will be for the foreseeable future. Looks like Hillary & Bernie maybe going to jail and not President Trump.

I'm aware of all the stupid conspiracy theories about various supposed crimes Hillary Clinton has committed but Bernie Sanders? Perhaps you are saying that Trump is turning the US into a fascist state where all his political opponents will be imprisoned (just like in Russia). That I can believe; otherwise your post is just an insane rant.

I know all about this. At my Mom's American school they sang the Internationale. Sanders is from that generation and culture. I think too far out the mainstream to ever elect president. 

A couple years ago would you have said the same about Trump? You just never know.

Hey here's an idea...show or link  the actual survey and let us form our own opinions.

Funny I have heard nor read anything on Trump reducing the foreign aid to the #1 recipient Israel.

My americain friends say that the image already started it's plunge to sink long back at the Bush years...with the Donald, it just touched the bottom, nothing more...

[Stargeezr]

If I remember right,  George W Bush, spent a ton of money when he was in power, the very same for Obama, who is also wealthier now than when he got in as President. 

  How does the Country of America have a  tarnished image only because of the President.  If this is all it takes for the country's image to be damaged, it is a very fickle world we live in.  I have been to the USA and the country has a lot of wonderful places to visit. It does not matter to me who is in power in that country. I enjoyed seeing Old Faithful. and visited Los Angeles,  San Diego, San Francisco, New York, North Carolina, to Texas, including Houston and Browns Ville and many parks,  and all those places were great to see.  I won't go to Venezuala, or any where in South America with all the unrest going on there. Even Russia with all its sanctions, keeps me from wanting to go there.     You will never see me go to North Korea, or even back to China with all its pollution.  I don't want to catch a super bug so India is also off my list, as well,  they keep building coal fired power plants and do not care at all about the pollution in that country. President Trump will only be In power for 4 or 8 years anyway.  Time will pass

then someone else will be the big cheese of the USA.

I was in Thailand during O'bama years; you can't get me to believe we had 62 % approval rating from the British Commonwealth countries, no way near that; heck not even 15%, they and the rest of the world hates Americans except for our wallets for decades now.

I wouldn't say people hate Americans, I do believe there is a rather large dislike of American foreign policy throughout the world though.

I hope the world has some patience with us (U.S.) while we work through the horrible mistake of electing an insane clown president. We're culpable collectively as a nation but he never enjoyed majority support even when elected. There will a huge cost to the U.S. for this mistake and probably the world as well.

My wife told me before 45 was elected (probably by Russia) she thought Americans were smart. Now .... not so much.

You're conflating dislike of Trump the individual and his Administration's actual and continual attempted reversal of decent policies with the US & it's general population.

I don't believe that solar will make it very far anytime soon, I don't think it can keep up with the increase in demand much less cut into the present demand. Yes I believe that nuclear power has a chance to do a lot, but you have to get past the people that really don't want them. I am also unsure of the supply of fuel for nukes. The worlds demand for power is going to explode as third world countries develop,  I would bet the amount of cars in Thailand has doubled in ten years, and Thailand is not a third world country. I think the US will be on top of the changes but that won't benefit the working class much, they will be working to survive while the rich will continue to buy bigger and bigger yachts, ships, jets, rockets etc. They will be building their own islands also.

lets take india which is a developing country. they are now building massive solar power stations. it looks very promising.

nuclear is not the answer and many countries are now committing to shutting down their nuclear power plants. i was talking about cold fusion.

You don't think there was dirt on the trump side?

The Russians weren't interested in that.

So it's not as simple as you present. 

Not excusing what the DNC did but not excusing the sleazy tactics of Putin either. 

I bet the "Russkies" have dirt on republicans in congress also. This would surely explain their SILENCE and inactivity re: Russia's act of war against America.

Well I'm from a Commonwealth country and can tell you Obama was near universally admired here. This is a survey from 2012 where Obama was admired more than Mitt Romney by an unbelievable 7-1 margin.

 

"Canadians prefer Barack Obama to Mitt Romney by almost a seven to one margin. Nationally, 68% would vote for President Obama if they had a vote in the upcoming Presidential election, while 10% would vote for Mitt Romney. President Obama is the preferred choice of a majority of respondents across all regions and demographic groups. Mr. Romney is most popular in the province of Alberta, but even there, Mr. Obama is the preferred choice by a 50%-19% margin."

... unless their driving force is White Supremacy. I wonder how many 45 defenders voted for policy v feelings of bigotry and racism?  I'll bet most would make the (like Hitler) pledge of loyalty to this would be dictator. Look at the RussiaRep party aka republican put party above country.
