The world is watching. The American presidential campaign. With so many threats afoot, pretty much everyone will be affected by our November vote.
According to a Pew Research Center study, President Biden is more popular internationally than Donald Trump. The Pew people polled 34 nations and found 43 percent of them have confidence that Mr. Biden will do the right thing, while just 23 percent say Trump has the better outlook.
Germany, the Netherlands, Poland and Sweden support Biden the most, while Hungary and Tunisia like Trump considerably more than Biden.
Not sure about the Tunisia results. Does Trump remind those people of Hannibal?
Anyway, there are two major reasons for the data. First, most countries don't give a fig about the madness on the U.S/Mexico border and they don't care what we are paying for bananas. They do care about climate change.
Not a priority for the Don.
Secondly, like the USA, European media veers sharply left. Since the end of the Cold War, this has intensified.
What's confusing is that President Trump largely kept the peace during his four years in office but President Biden is looking at massive violence and confrontation from the South China Sea to Ukraine.
But I'm being logical here and that is no longer a political plus. Now, it's all emotion.
How do you say "you're crazy" in Swedish?
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
