    “Trump was actually better for the rest of the world” is consistently the worst take on here. It’s also a take that’s hard to find outside of the U.S.

    The research in the article includes a majority(only 24 countries, skips the entire third world because who cares) of western first world countries.

    Clearly capitalist nations would prefer Biden because Trump embarrasses and jeopardizes the legitimacy of the "free" "democratic" world led by America. Trump simply exposed the ugly side of American politics to people worldwide who had no clue the white savior was actually clueless and stupid most of the time not to mention racist and incompetent.

    Biden would help transform that image and with it the belief that we(westerners) live in a just world. You can easily find polls about what Europeans and other people think of actual living conditions in the US like lack of healthcare, education, poverty levels etc.

    Nobody in the first world is ready and/or willing to admit the US is their enemy. Trump's racist isolationist USA makes that obvious. Any other "civil" president makes it seem like it is back to good old USA freedom police yadayada.

      Peru, Mexico, and Malyasia are in that survey, and they were all strongly against Trump. There are shortcomings to the survey, but it's ridiculous to claim to speak for countries outside the imperial core while (1) not even looking for evidence of what they think, and (2) ignoring what evidence we have.
