Via Pew Research, here’s what the world thinks of Donald Trump:
Trump does poorly pretty much everywhere. His top ratings come from China, where authoritarian bullies are taken for granted, and Italy, which probably figures Trump looks positively presidential compared to Silvio Berlusconi.

Or good because this just proves that everyone knows he’ll put America first?
