Latest Gallup Poll View of World Leaders: Not Kind To President Trump

According to the world view in a recent Gallup poll of world leaders, Donald Trump's approval rating stood at 33% in 2019.  It was 30% in 2017 and 31% in 2018.  The 2019 poll number was at a historically low going back to 2007.  The world view  of the U.S. under President Trump dropped 19 points in 2017 from President Obama's last term in office which was 44%.  Other Gallup poll revelations showed the image of the U.S., China and Russian leadership consistently weak. 

Germany's leader and Chancellor Angela Merkel came out with the highest approval rating with 44%, eleven points higher that Trump.  It was the third straight year Merkel led and was thought of as a stable leader with global responsibility.  So the international community has rejected Trump's leadership for the past three years by a wide margin in favor of Merkel.  And coupled with Trump's standing in American polls it becomes clear that Trump's boast of "make America great again" was and is nothing more that a propaganda slogan.  It is empty and fake like his Mexico will pay for his wall boast.

And once again, history is confirming just how accurate Hillary Clinton was during the 2016 campaign and debates concerning Trump's unfitness to serve.
