How is Donald Trump viewed around the world? The numbers are blunt.
Based on the latest Gallup International Association covering 58 countries, global opinion of Donald Trump remains deeply negative.
π» Net global favourability: β31
β’ 30% favourable
β’ 61% unfavourable
β’ 8% donβt know / no response
π Where Trump is viewed MOST positively (Top 5)
(Net favourability score)
Azerbaijan (+40)
Kenya (+34)
Georgia (+33)
Syria (+31)
Kosovo (+27)
These are largely countries outside the Western liberal bloc β many with tense or complex relationships with traditional Western power structures.
π Where Trump is viewed MOST negatively (Bottom 5)
Iran (β88)
Denmark (β84)
Sweden (β80)
Norway (β79)
Switzerland (β78)
Four of the five most negative countries are European.
πͺπΊ Europe: a major reputation problem
β’ Western Europe overall: β59
β’ Consistently negative across Nordics, Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, UK
β’ Unfavourable views have remained entrenched since 2017
In much of Europe, Trump is not seen as a disruptive reformer β but as:
β’ Anti-multilateral
β’ Anti-alliance
β’ A threat to the post-war liberal order
π§ The bigger takeaway
Trumpβs global reputation exposes a fracture in the world order:
β’ Parts of the Global South are neutral to mildly positive
β’ Europe is overwhelmingly hostile
β’ The idea of automatic U.S. moral leadership no longer holds
This is less about one man β and more about how different regions now define power, sovereignty, and global rules.
