Joe Biden Reveals What World Leaders Are Telling Him About Donald Trump

President Joe Biden claimed multiple world leaders have expressed to him their fear of former President Donald Trump returning to the White House.

“I’ve been doing foreign policy for a long, long time,” Biden told the congregation at Brookland Baptist Church in Columbia, South Carolina, over the weekend.

“I know every one of those heads of state, and I’ve known them for a while. And every meeting I go to internationally, as they’re walking out, this is the God’s truth […] virtually every one of them pull me aside and says, ‘You’ve got to win. We can’t let that happen again. You can’t let that happen again. You can’t let that happen again.’”


Biden also warned those in attendance that his 2024 campaign “is a lot bigger than me, you and all of us.”

according to their personal whims and opinions and personality and little to do with party policy. Worked extremely well in 2016 making it all about a demonized Hillary caricature to vote against, not so well in 2020 with Biden, will try again this year.

Instead of electing the most qualified candidate, ever, we got this clown. A stupid guy that thinks he's smart. But Republicans can only use their majority to witch hunt Democrats. Facts not required.

A pretty cool time for China. Zhu Rongji got the need for China to integrate in the Global community. And they all loved Bill Clintoooon.

At one of these fundraisers, President Biden told a story about how leaders in other nations complained to him about TFG and his minions. At one international event, President Biden spoke after VP Pence. The crowd did not applaud Pence but gave President Biden a standing ovation. Foreign leaders do not want TFG to return

38. Pew Research-America's Image Abroad Rebounds With Transition From Trump to Biden
Tue Jan 30, 2024, 10:15 PM
Jan 2024


https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/06/10/americas-image-abroad-rebounds-with-transition-from-trump-to-biden/

The election of Joe Biden as president has led to a dramatic shift in America’s international image. Throughout Donald Trump’s presidency, publics around the world held the United States in low regard, with most opposed to his foreign policies. This was especially true among key American allies and partners. Now, a new Pew Research Center survey of 16 publics finds a significant uptick in ratings for the U.S., with strong support for Biden and several of his major policy initiatives.

In each of the 16 publics surveyed, more than six-in-ten say they have confidence in Biden to do the right thing in world affairs. Looking at 12 nations surveyed both this year and in 2020, a median of 75% express confidence in Biden, compared with 17% for Trump last year.

During the past two decades, presidential transitions have had a major impact on overall attitudes toward the U.S. When Barack Obama took office in 2009, ratings improved in many nations compared with where they had been during George W. Bush’s administration, and when Trump entered the White House in 2017, ratings declined sharply. This year, U.S. favorability is up again: Whereas a median of just 34% across 12 nations had a favorable overall opinion of the U.S. last year, a median of 62% now hold this view.,,,,,

In most countries polled, people make a stark distinction between Biden and Trump as world leaders. Nearly eight-in-ten Germans (78%) have confidence in Biden to do the right thing in world affairs; a year ago, just 10% said this about Trump. Similar differences are found in Sweden, Belgium and the Netherlands, and in all nations where a trend is available from 2020 there is a difference of at least 40 percentage points.


As is the case with views of the United States as a whole, confidence in U.S. presidents has shifted dramatically over the past two decades, especially in Western Europe. In Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain and France – four nations Pew Research Center has surveyed consistently – ratings for Bush and Trump were similarly low during their presidencies, while this year confidence in Biden is fairly similar to the ratings Obama received while in office.


......Reflecting high levels of confidence in the U.S. president, overwhelming majorities say Biden is well-qualified for the position, and many see him as a strong leader. Very few view Biden as either dangerous or arrogant. And in most cases, these views are in stark contrast to views of his predecessor.

A median of 77% think Biden is well-qualified for his role as president, ranging from 64% in Japan to 84% in Sweden. Among many of these same publics polled in 2017, only a third or fewer saw Trump as well-qualified.

I've seen his worshippers claim that other countries respected him. Countries like Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea. The leaders of those countries don't respect him. They see him as a dupe, a fool. They think of him as someone easy to influence and manipulate. Tell him he's pretty and smart and he'll roll over like a puppy and wag his tail.

They shook their heads in horror and disbelief at the outcome of 2016, and then rejoiced when Joe Biden reversed the mistake in 2020. The general attitude here is, “you wouldn’t do that again, would you?”
