As expected you wouldn't, you didn't even bother to look at the link. This conclusion is by the highly respected Pew Research Center. But then, I'm sure you don't respect anyone or any source that disagrees with you about anything.
Setting aside your hyperbole and misrepresentation of the poll results, did you haplen to find the poll that says how much we, as Americans, don't give 2 squats?
As I predicted, you automatically dismiss it as unimportant because it doesn't agree with or conform to what you would rather believe or sympathize with, or sheds an unfavorable light on your Idol, Trump. I will never understand your seemingly blind allegiance to him, or how you can overlook his well documented history of corruption, pathological dishonesty and disregard for anyone or anything that doesn't directly benefit him.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Doesn't it give any of you Trumpists at least some pause to realize that our arch-rival is so happy about Trump being our leader?
It was part of Steve Bannon's master plan that the current government of the United States needed to fall before separate white nationalist states, such as the New Confederacy and the Kingdom of Deseret could arise. I doubt the rest of the world would regard these new entities as anything but latent threats, given the weapons stockpiles they would possess. America's enemies on the other hand would be rejoicing.

I doubt you represent all or most Americans, and while many don't give 2 squats, that does not change the reality of how it can affect the US in it's economy and power and influence around the world. Power and Influence it likes to use to it's benefit.

“I feel sorry for Americans,” said U Myint Oo, a member of parliament in Myanmar. “But we can’t help the U.S. because we are a very small country.”

The same sentiment prevails in Canada, one of the most developed countries. Two out of three Canadians live within about 60 miles of the American border.

“Personally, it’s like watching the decline of the Roman Empire,” said Mike Bradley, the mayor of Sarnia Ontario, an industrial city on the border with Michigan, where locals used to venture for lunch.

Your little picture did nothing to show you represent Americans in any way. You should also provide a link to your picture, which has nothing to do with what we are even talking about.

It's not surprising the Trumpidiocy is unconcerned with our reputation around the world. They support Trump, so they're clearly unconcerned about their reputation domestically, too.

When you're an idiot, these things don't matter.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.
