Trump is always boasting about the stock market performance under his stewardship.

Although the market made gains last year it was in 13th place vs other countries.

In 2024 the US was in 2nd place behind only Taiwan.

The US came in the top three in every one of the previous 20 years except 2022.

13th place.  Investors are looking elsewher

This is more profound than what many might read into it.

It’s more evidence of the impact that the vast majority of Donald Trumps ruinous policies that are destroying long lived relationships and leading like an unhinged madman are having in the global investment community.

As he brags about how the world finally respects America again …….even while the real world outside of MAGAs imagination shuns and distances itself from the rogue state US led by an authoritarian lunatic!

These charts show how Trump is isolating the US on the world stage

Analysis shows that the world is moving closer to China, as Trump’s isolationism rears its head at the United Nations

Canada, South Korea, Japan, Germany and the UK dramatically deviated from the US in terms of UN voting patterns in 2025.

A key flashpoint has been Ukraine. In February 2025, the US sided with Russia, Belarus and North Korea to vote against a resolution condemning Russia for the Ukraine war.

Another strain has been Israel’s war in Gaza. In June 2025, the US voted against a resolution that called for the protection of civilians and upholding of legal and humanitarian obligations in Gaza.

The US sided with Israel against the resolution, while the vast majority of western countries supported the passing of the resolution. China also voted in favour.

The US vetoed a securty council resolution for an unconditional ceasefire, disagreeing with Russia, China, France and the UK.

There have also been resolutions on issues such as the environment, health and migration, which China and most western countries supported, but the US opposed.


The report says that the UK’s alignment with the US in UN votes is at its lowest level since records began, with a steep drop in the past year. This has coincided with hopes that the UK can thaw icy relations between London and Beijing.

This was BEFORE Donald Trump's Greenland insanity alienated these countries and many more to an extreme!

Poll: Major allies see US as unreliable and destabilizing

Pluralities in Germany and France — and a majority of Canadians — say the US is a negative force globally, new POLITICO-Public First polling finds.

Unreliable. Creating more problems than solving them. A negative force on the world stage. This is how large shares of America’s closest allies view the U.S., according to new polling, as President Donald Trump pursues a sweeping foreign policy overhaul.

Allies Look Away From the U.S. on Trade

Amid tariffs and turmoil, top U.S. partners are taking their trade elsewhere.

https://www.usnews.com/news/u-s-news-decision-points/articles/2026-01-26/allies-look-away-from-the-u-s-on-trade

Flustered and frustrated by America’s trade wars, traditional U.S. allies are considering alternatives to the world’s richest market, including expanding commercial relations with China – to considerable visible furor from Washington.

The palpable shift comes after a year in which world leaders typically flattered President Donald Trump. Those officials have been left reeling after his recent demands for the U.S. to own Greenland and his derisive comments about allies who fought in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Reeling and looking for the best way to say “no” to the globe’s biggest economic and military power, that is.
