Oh Really???!!! According to Newsweek, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/global-respect-us-leadership-dropped-sharply-under-trump-opposite-happened-784298\" target=\"_blank\">global respect for America has dropped to an all-time low under Trump<\/a>. The willingness of other countries to trust the U.S. is also on the wane because of Trump. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/04\/03\/how-trump-has-weakened-the-worlds-view-of-the-us.html\" target=\"_blank\">Only three countries, Greece, Hungary and Nigeria, saw a positive uptick for America<\/a>. German Chancellor Angela <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/view\/articles\/2018-05-14\/germany-is-getting-fed-up-with-trump-and-america\" target=\"_blank\">Merkel has pretty much stated that Europe can no longer depend on America because of Trump<\/a>. And Trump&#8217;s disastrous plan to pull out of the Iran deal <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/world\/2018\/5\/9\/17335308\/trump-decertify-iran-nuclear-deal-europe-sanction\" target=\"_blank\">has been met with almost universal condemnation<\/a>. Top E.U. official Donald Tusk,<a href=\"http:\/\/time.com\/5280331\/eu-tusk-trump-iran-nuclear-deal\/\" target=\"_blank\"> has even said that &#8220;with friends like that, who needs enemies?&#8221;<\/a> in reference to Trump.<\/p>\n<p>So we don&#8217;t know what Trump and Mike Pence have been smoking but they are seriously delusional. About the only group (other than Fox News, a.k.a. the Republican Propaganda Network) that Trump has won the respect of are professional clowns. That is because the daily actions of the orange haired man-child in the White House\u00a0are making them look like rank amateurs.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6021\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6021\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6021\" src=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/clownsrespecttrump.jpg\" alt=\"Clowns have nothing but respect for the Grand Poobah of buffoons, American CEO\/Dictator, Donald Trump, whose daily actions make them look like rank amateurs.\" width=\"500\" height=\"323\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/clownsrespecttrump.jpg 500w, http:\/\/www.bilgebucket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/clownsrespecttrump-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 85vw, 500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6021\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clowns have nothing but respect for the Grand Poobah of buffoons, American CEO\/Dictator, Donald Trump, whose daily actions make them look like rank amateurs.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At a recent rally in a packed middle school gymnasium (you know those things seat tens of thousands of people) in Elkhart, Indiana, American CEO\/Dictator, Donald Trump, and Vice President and modern day Puritan, Mike Pence, cajoled the crowd with how they&#8217;ve made America &#8216;respectable&#8217; again.
