Brutal new data on U.S. popularity worldwide vs. China.

I love that when some of us were screaming three years that chinas economy was in the tanker and that we - America - were in an upswing comparatively, and could use that momentum to help the entire world. I imagine the Chinese government is meddling in social media globally? 

Kinda like: last year and the country was like “but wait, it’s expensive and actually Trump wasn’t that bad right? Let me listen to David portnoy and Joe Rogan and and and ___(podcast) ___ and see what he has to say. Seems to make sense”. Or, “ugh I hate that the establishment is giving me this candidate,” never mind the situation. Now a megalomaniac who is terrified of jail and wants money and power is in charge, taking bribes from Qatar (a terrible fucking country in my opinion. Great international business lounge.) can’t wait for national security secrets to be spilled!
