My travels during that time also did not lead me to believe that the world was laughing at us and instead left me with the impression that Obama was very well respected internationally. I obviously haven't had nearly as much time to travel during Trump's presidency but during the one trip I have made, to North Africa, there was widespread laughter about Trump, both from locals and fellow (non-American) travelers. Upon hearing that I was American, the first cabbie I met immediately launched into "Oh! Donald Trump" while twirling a finger next to his ear.<br /><br />Your claims run contrary to my personal experiences. Therefore I ask you to provide what factual sources you have so that I can gain a more nuanced viewpoint.<br /><br />I'm not sure where you get the idea that I have "blind admiration" for Obama or "overriding hatred" for Trump. I can point to specific actions and statements that I like or dislike for either of them. Ultimately, however, I find that my list of dislikes for Trump is far longer than the one for Obama. If that's blind or overriding then I'm afraid I must not understand those terms very well.<br /><br />Please provide supporting evidence for:<br />-international laughter<br />-lack of respect<br />-"blind admiration" (a rational argument will suffice)<br />-overriding hatred (see above. For example, what is the supposed hatred overriding?)bmq215https://www.blogger.com/profile/06753133447458358901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-17131455028593975992017-08-12T21:55:14.033-04:002017-08-12T21:55:14.033-04:00BMQ: Unless you are blind and stupid (I doubt you ...BMQ: Unless you are blind and stupid (I doubt you are either) then you are aware of how the rest of the world thought of the US under Barry. They laughed at us and were willing to use us, but they had no respect for us. <br /><br />You seem smart, use google to look up media from other countries for the past 8 years. <br /><br />Or does your blind admiration of Barry and your overriding hatred of Trump prevent you from seeing (or willing to see) the truth?

It was always the praetorian guard who brought down Roman emperors who failed. I suppose the Secret Service would be the US equivalent.
