The mood on the international conference call at the beginning of this month was somber as Ian Bremmer, president of the political risk consulting firm Eurasia Group, prepared to list off top global dangers in the coming year. Bremmer began with a show-stopping line:
"If we had to pick one year for a big unexpected crisis — the geopolitical equivalent of the 2008 financial meltdown — it feels like 2018." The reasons are many, Bremmer cited, but the most prominent causes for global insecurity stem from U.S. President Donald Trump's move away from global leadership, and China's eagerness to fill the perceived vacuum.
Donald Trump pledged to "Make America Great Again." The world thinks he is doing the opposite.
The United States slips in this year's U.S. News Best Countries ranking, dropping to the No. 8 spot after falling one position from its 2017 ranking. Switzerland, an island of stable prosperity in a world of turmoil, remains the Best Country, according to a global survey of more than 21,000 persons.
The reasons for America's drop – the second straight year its ranking dipped – are fueled by the world's perceptions of the country becoming less progressive and trustworthy, more politically unstable and a president who after just a year in office is far more unpopular than any other head of state or company CEO...

Who needs to be gagged with a spoon by these liars? Nobody.
As I said, why not post the TRUTH about the lies? You don’t have to use the liar as the source to post a headline that alerts readers to a published lie. Use yourself as the source or a reasonably reliable source that addresses what the Lying Leftist source is saying.
A fake news blog is blogging about it's own fake news. How droll ...
Trump should go to Davos and before he speaks he should play Dennis Leary’s ASSHOLE music video.
Boo Hoo luciferian globalists! MAGA
F—k the rest of the world!
Who the hell cares what they think?
From the title I thought this was an article from 2008.

Maybe they will stop taking our money?
I have learned to be suspicious of any “free floating” quotes where the journalist provides the context and conclusion rather than allowing the quote to provide for itself.
(e.g. “grab them by the pu$$y.”)
In other words they're trashing America because America
isn't going to be suckered into paying their bills anymore
and allowing itself to be overrun by Muslims like
the wimpy Euros have done.
Long may it continue!
“America Slips in the Eyes of the World”
And yet, people still want to come here...Go figure.
I guess when the “world” finds itself in another crisis, they can fix it themselves...Clearly they don’t need us or our money so they can hate us for free. Everyone wins!!!
God Bless America!!!
Seems like Mr. Drew is close to tears.
Suck it up butter cup.
Nobody cares what you or the world thinks.
Here’s a Kleenex.

This kind of pablum from US Snooze is just more evidence of Lamestream Media, Statist Media covering for their masters
America slips in the eyes of the world...?????
And just who gives a flying f*** about the rest of the world???????
So?
If America’s economy booms, the world feels it.
If there is a deadly tsunami, ask the Swiss to send their hospital ships.
Well then...stay in yer sh8tholes!
Way, way back in about 1983, I subscribed to US News and World Report magazine - I think I may have bought the subscription from some young family member’s school magazine sale. Anyway, I was struck even back then - 35 years ago - about how much the world hates the United States. Not sure how we possibly could have slipped any lower than that...
