    Survey respondents were read a list of positive and negative characteristics, and for each one, were asked whether it describes Donald Trump. Around the globe, people associate a number of negative characteristics with the U.S. leader. Most say he is arrogant, intolerant and dangerous, while few think of him as well-qualified or as someone who cares about ordinary people. Describing Trump as charismatic is more common, although global publics on balance do not think of him as charismatic either. They do, however, see Trump as a strong leader – a median of 55% across the nations polled describe him this way.
    If you think it doesn't matter, you are wrong.

    Economists have measured the impact of world opinion, and each point drop causes economic damage, as demand for US goods and services declines. It affects the economy.

    FWIW.

    The world thought Obama was the greatest man alive, worshiped his turds. 10T extra in debt and nothing to show for it - what foreigners think.

    It's in the OP.

    Dictators tend to be viewed as "strong leaders". That isn't exactly a good thing, although I am sure Snakeboy wasn't quite aware of that subtext when he posted.

    Foreigners buy, or don't, US-made products and services.

    As noted in the OP, that opinion has real-world costs.

    It is free-market economics, and not even difficult concepts at that. Supply. Demand.

    The only question is how much Trumps unpopularity will cost US businesses. Given the scope of that unpopularity, that cost will likely have quite a few zeros behind it.

    Sorry if reality is inconveniencing your ideology.

    Stalin was considered a strong leader. The Terrors of the early 20th century were not good leadership.

    So you have seen the comprehensive analytics of buying patterns in the rest of the world to support this?

    That is the kind of data I enjoy reading. Can I get a link to it, please?

    You didn't like reading the ties your buddy had to citibank, denied it in the face of objective proof, but I'm sure you'll not repeat that pattern

    Only a moron tries to predict economics based on whether or not a president is liked. What kind of asinine foundation for economics is that?
