Major countries were polled and all of them, except one, saw improvements (some massive) in their opinion of the US. The only country who’s opinion of the US dropped, was China.

Trump liked to tell his slack-jawed voter base that he was tough on China and would help American manufacturing. His actual policies which included things as stupid as taxing imports of materials required by most US manufacturers - this is something that economists have known is shit policy since the days of mercantilism—but hundreds of years later, somehow Trump missed the memo. And in the era of capitalism, he also fucked up hard, disrupting trade relations between the US and other Western nations, and ended up destroying US manufacturing instead of doing anything to China - instead demand and dependency on Chinese manufacturing.

It was profoundly foolish that the US trusted their economy in the incompetently tiny hands of Donald Trump. A man most famous for being a slow-witted reality TV show character and repeatedly going bankrupt.

Don’t you mean “JINA”?
