{UAH} If someone is reading this on the opposite side of the world, what do you think of Donald Trump?

Henry Greenfield

I am in Australia, lived all over Asia including China for many years, have children working in Europe so I guess this is far enough away to be the opposite side of the world and have an opinion on Trump.

Other answers were also interesting, Japan, China, Europe, other places in Asia. Almost all were negative but for very different reasons.

The biggest offense that Trump makes for all of us outside the US: he is the opposite of the values that almost everyone in the world has. He is not polite, he is a bully and yells at people always interrupting them. He does not consider the other side. He clearly is a misogynist who has no respect for women. He is not a reliable partner, throwing away alliances and friendships that have lasted for a century in some cases for quick deals with dictators which invariably never work out.

As an Aussie friend of my put it, he wouldn't last in Australia a year and would be tossed out on his rear.

There are far too many things wrong with Trump that offends the world and far too little that we like. Of course we understand that the US has done incredibly good things for all of us over the past century and both sides have benefited enormously.

But we wonder what is wrong with the American people to have elected someone who clearly has no sense of doing the right thing. Who doesn't care about his own people, let alone the rest of us. Who listens to dictators like Putin over his own intelligence services which he calls the Deep State.

He is entertaining, and in a weird sort of way we all watch with fascination wondering what he will do next. We sincerely hope you vote him out as we are not sure that we can hold the fort for everyone down under much longer while you figure it out.

We will still be here but there is a lot of pressure on all of us to get closer to China and others. The USA is abandoning its leadership role for a one man State Department in Pompeo, who is pretty good, but he still works for Trump. You never know what Trump will do next but almost always it will be to our collective disadvantage.

So please say goodbye to Mr Trump and bring on Joe Biden, someone we all can work with and try to get back to some type of normality for the rest of the world, not just the US.
