With record low approval ratings at home, the results of a new global survey only add insult to injury for the president of the United States, Donald Trump. The research, conducted by Pew Research Center, shows that confidence around the globe in U.S. President Donald Trump to do the right thing when it comes to world affairs is generally very low. On average, 22 percent of people have faith in the U.S. president.
The most upbeat of the countries surveyed is the Philippines, where 69 percent of citizens said they had confidence in Trump. Joining the South East Asian country in its majority support is Vietnam (58 percent), Nigeria (58 percent), Israel (56 percent), Russia (53 percent), Kenya (51 percent) and Tanzania (51 percent).
In Turkey, 18 percent of people have confidence in Donald Trump.
The most pessimistic country is Mexico, with a mere 5 percent professing confidence. Close behind is Spain, with 7 percent, and Jordan with 9. But for a president that was elected on a pledge of 'America First', will he or his supporters really care about this results? (EVRENSEL DAILY)
