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.

And what about Egypt? He supports their current government over the Moslem Brotherhood terrorists.
I'm not too sure about this poll thingy.
The US doesn't exist to please other countries.
Trump is president of the US, not president of the world like Obama wants to be.
Best if your enemies don't like you. Obama had us kissing our enemies arses.
Trump has us keeping our enemies on their toes.
Almost every country in the world was taking us to the cleaners monthly... They don’t like us now? That’s a win.
And the UN - we’re not kissing their butt anymore either. They don’t like us as much either... another ‘win’.
No doubt following the general trend for Republican presidents but even more pronounced for Trump since he’s more boldly pro-American than even most Republicans.
No one likes us
No one likes us
We don’t care.
Irrelevant. Who do they respect and fear more?
They’re called “push polls” for a reason. They try and push an agenda, make people think everyone else feels this way, so they should too.
Vile things.
Anything makes America stronger makes the rest of the world envious.
I find it difficult to believe counties like Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary don’t like Trump more.
Who gives a flying rip ?
Anyone ?
No one likes us
We don’t care.
You can eat my underwear.
IIRC, Macedonia was the first country to officially recognize the USA.
I’m not surprised that citizens from other countries love Obama more than President Trump. Everyone will like a free spending, bend-over whore like Obama who showered their useles countries with undeserved benefits at the expense of Americans over an ass- kicking American like President Trump who is looking out for his own people.
Being liked is highly over rated when most of your peers are your enemies.
Many other nations are filled with that eternal, ever present human passion called ENVY. Their socialistic or communistic governments have failed or are failing to meet the basic need of their people to have a feeling of value and purpose through some kind of meaningful event or belief in their lives. Small groups of elites have stolen the wealth of too many nations from their citizens and they resent that the US is still the place in the world that many people in those nations dream of getting to. Why on earth would Gallup conduct a poll referencing the most envied man alive on this planet today, our very own President Trump? The sorcerers are everywhere in the media and are doing their best day in and day out to pseudo murder him. They look for evidence of his demise moment by moment as they stir their cauldron of tricks and magic, hoping against hope that something will work. This poll is akin to asking the sorcerer to compliment those he is trying to harm or kill. The underlying motive for all of these things is just so evident if one knows anything about the expressions of ENVY in the human being who has not learned to control his/her cave man/woman instincts. Just hang tight, all you nations who resent American success. It is being quickly shackled by that old devil, ENVY, which may be greater in the American media “swamp” than in any other location on earth. There is an interesting phenomenon about the envious person or group..When their hatred grows large enough, they do not mind if they go down themselves in the same destruction they bring to the envied. I suppose that could only be described as blinding hate creating a death wish. Go figure!
My suggestion to these countries that dislike us, is that they never take another dime of America’s assistance. That will show us!
Macedonia was not independent in 1776. Maybe you are thinking of the Republic of Ragusa (Dubrovnik).
They like Slovenian women...
That’s right; Obama turned this country into a laughingstock, and those who got used to it know there’s a new sheriff in town...
