There is little sign yet that Donald Trump has caused irreparable damage
DONALD TRUMP has not been afraid to upset people abroad. The American president has regularly criticised the leaders of his country’s allies and cast doubt on the value of international partnerships. In 2018 he reportedly described some poor African states as “shithole countries”.
That has generated plenty of headlines, and might worry supporters of democracy. But they should be wary of over-interpreting those figures. Gallup has providedwith polling data for 18 countries, starting in 2006, when it first began asking about leadership. These numbers paint a less alarming picture.
A similar pattern exists in most of the countries in our sample, when asked about leaders in either China or Russia. Overall, there was little sign of a drastic swing in favourability towards either country.
