More than half of the French, Germans , and Britons consider Donald Trump a “dictator”, according to a poll by the think tank Destin Commun, which also found that 47% of respondents in Poland share the same view, as the US President attempts to broker a peace agreement between Kyiv and Moscow.

You can tell it by the way it is
That isn’t very neat
He said he was going to be a dictator, and everything he does indicates he is a dictator. Why is there even any question?
Here’s some more context for that.
Well that’s 5 min of my life I’ll never get back
My condolences. 🪦
So do the majority of Americans. At this point I’m honestly more pissed off at the ones to lazy or petty to go vote than I am actual Trump supporters. This could have easily been prevented.
GOP in 2008. We can’t elect Obama, the world will laugh at us.
GOP in 2025. Who cares what the rest of the world thinks??
I’d like a source on 2008.
What I remember is that the world was already laughing at Bush for 8 years, and Obama restored their respect.
GOP has always been the party pushing candidates that the rest of the world has laughed at.
2008 is 17 years ago.
You gotta be pretty young if your parents don’t remember that.
I remember 2008, and stated how I remembered it.
We have both shared our priors (biases).
What I was essentially asking: who was saying that Obama would be worthy of ridicule, especially compared to Bush?
And by posing it more directly, I remember that our current president was being a racist birther at that time. I also knew some other racists at that time, and by recalling these have answered my own question.
I remember that the international community of politics was more on the side of ridiculing Bush and welcoming Obama, regardless of what was said domestically.
I was living in New York in 2008.
I remember picking up a copy of Rupert Murdoch’s New York Post days before the election, and reading the op-ed page.
There were two pieces that particular day. One said a vote for Obama was a waste, because he was just a warmed over neoliberal who’d push conservative ideas weakly. The writer thought that instead of a wishy-washy softy it was better to have a real conservative.
The other writer, on the same page, felt that Obama was a fire breathing leftist; a revolutionary who’d destroy America if he had half a chance.
The GOP was throwing everything it had at Obama, regardless of whether it made any sense whatever.
