Gallup: Only Israel, Three Other Countries Like Trump More Than Obama
PJ Media ^ | 01-18-2018 | Michael van der Galien

Although Trump has been far from perfect so far as president, he's a great upgrade from Obama. For instance, see Trump's major tax cut bill and his other job-growth policies, and his appointment of conservative judges.

And that's not all: he's fulfilled his promise to restore relations with Israel.

Clearly, the only Jewish state and the only Mideast democracy is well aware of that fact:

A new poll shows that a wide swath of Israelis approves of United States President Donald Trump's performance in his first year of office. According to the Gallup poll, 67% of Israelis say they approve of the president.

Notably, this poll was conducted well before Trump announced his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, and before his threats to defund the terror-supporting UNRWA and the Palestinian Authority. Those moves are very popular in Israel and will almost certainly have increased his popularity in that country.

Israelis had serious misgivings about Obama. Their approval rating of the 44th U.S. president never rose above 50 percent, which is historically low for an American president. In 2014, a poll showed that a full 71 percent of Israelis disapproved of Obama's performance. A poll in 2015 showed that more than half of Israelis "didn't trust" Obama.

However, this new Gallup poll also says that Israel is only one of four countries that approves of Trump more than they approved of Obama. The other three are Belarus (run by a despot), Liberia, and Macedonia. However, in June of last year, a poll showed that Russians also had a higher opinion of the United States under the Trump administration.

The reason that Belarus is more positive about Trump than about Obama is clearly the new president's attitude towards Russia, which is Belarus' big brother.

Because if it’s good for US, then it’s bad for other countries, especially $hitholes.

Trump wasn’t elected POTUS to be “liked” by other nations.
He was elected to MAGA....MAGA, he is.
Roll on, President Trump. You got em blowing holes in their panty hose.

That’s about to change as Obama gets the Nixon’s Watergate on Steroids treatment.

Well, gee. I wonder why the godless marxist/fascist hellholes love Obama and hate Trump?

Well, I guess that does it. If the White Russians like Trump more than Obama, that proves Trump colluded with Russia to steal the election from St. Hillary. Mueller can wrap up his inquisition and send his report to the House Judiciary Committee for them to start the impeachment process.

If an American President is well liked by other nations it’s almost certainly because he is doing what’s best for them rather than what’s best for us.

That remains to be seen.

The fake news media is not covering the FISA abuses, the real DACA implications, etc. Half the American people will never know the truth. Where will the public pressure be for justice to prevail?

I talk with several international people.
They are all astonished when they find out what I think of Soetoro.

Although these people are conservative, they get all their news from left wing sources. They can’t believe Trump won. They are shocked when I told them Hillary is criminal running a money-laundering fake charity.

By the way, they had never heard the “Soetoro” background story.

MAGA should be enough inspiration for all other countries to MxGA and see then just watch the world economy freaking explode. If every country did MxGA it would be an absolute runaway success all over as countries compete with each other to make their own country best. It’s so practical and pragmatic that of course the libs can’t fathom the objective logic of such a philosophy.

Here in Asia, people just automatically assume Trump is a monster, but I think that’s just because everybody blindly believes the media propaganda. And I was about ready to throw up during a recent trip in China when the taxi driver called Obama “Xiao pusa”, I.e, little Bhodisattva, in other word a holy person compared to Trump...

Tough crap. Who gives a damn if $hitholes don’t like him, or us. Actually it is a good sign.
