    These headlines are always so depressing. “Nearly half?” Jesus Christ - on what list is Trump not in the bottom few, if not the absolute worst?

        Yeah, he was pretty destructive. I think Trump is in the running though.

        Yeah, but it was about being a poor president, not the worst.

        I mean, I’m pretty sure Biden is going to go down in history as a poor president simply for not doing enough, but Trump has fumbled so many things that it’s obvious (even if you agree with his policies) that history won’t remember him as a good president.

      Honestly I don’t think many Americans even know what is going on in the world. If you are someone who only gets their news from Fox or other right learning media then you are being told lies and propaganda.

      It does seem about half of the USA is in their own fictional bubble where Trump is saving them from scary brown people or something.

      It’s sad it really is.

        It would be “sad” if it was happenstance; the fact that it was orchestrated by Murdoch and others - that half the country has been successfully manipulated by bullshit propaganda - makes it infuriating.

        You should talk to them on how they think Europeans live.

        The vast majority of Americans have never left The Greatest Country in the World ™.

    That’s because the other half understand that he’s actually rich.

      Rich? In what? He’s not even famous. Everyone keeps saying he’s such a famous president. The word they should be using is infamous. He’s known for being a failed, well, everything. Thats infamy not fame. Is this like that? You say “Rich” but are you speaking about money?

        I said “he’s rich”. As in, he has a lot of money. As in, not “poor” as the poll implies.

    He’d have to improve astronomically just to get to the level of “poor”.

        If they prosecute him appropriately for all the scams he’s run, then maybe? But seems like a fantasy expecting that to happen

    The US hasn’t been a country anyone should treat as a serious entity since 2024-11-05, and won’t be again until they can prove their ability to hold another legitimate election.

    Right now it’s a coin flip as to whether I’ll see that within my lifetime.
