What I hate is the media crossing back to the events and then always saying things have heated up or taken a turn. They're such a bunch of leeches.

That's what needs to be remembered. It's very centralised.

Yet confirmed footage of the damage is immense and it's not footage from last events. Looting and arson of local businesses getting business owners and general residents offside with the movement.

It's a massive country as is the world. I think we all get sucked into a media tunnel or bubble where it seems ever present yet there are millions of people either unaffected or indifferent to an event.

Plenty of Americans going about their business not engaging in media or politics doing great things.

The vast majority of these things blow over and it's rinse and repeat.
 
Lol. We're doing something right.

Australians on Trump: dumb, dangerous and dishonest

A global survey shows Australians have some of the most negative attitudes in the world towards the US president.

Australians have some of the most critical attitudes towards Donald Trump and his administration among the world’s voters, with an international survey revealing most people find him arrogant, dangerous and threat to the global economy.

The US-based Pew Research Centre’s annual survey of global attitudes towards the US shows Australians are even more concerned about Trump and his impact than people in Canada and Mexico, which are feeling the direct impact of the president’s policy agenda.

Only voters in Sweden have stronger anti-Trump views than Australians, who believe the president is unable to understand complex problems, not qualified to hold his job, and is unlikely to deal with major issues such as the war in Ukraine and in Gaza.

The non-partisan Pew think tank has tracked global public opinion for more than two decades, identifying trends and changing attitudes on key issues and government action.

Based on the response of 28,333 people across 24 nations, Pew found the attitude towards the United States had darkened since Trump started his second term as president.

Seventy-one per cent of Australian surveyed by Pew had an unfavourable opinion of the United States compared to 60 per cent in 2024. Only Swedes had a higher unfavourable rating of the US, at 79 per cent, while nations such as Canada (64 per cent), Mexico (69 per cent) and Britain (49 per cent) were lower.

There were large falls in favorability ratings in Mexico (down by 32 points) and Canada (down 20 points) which have faced direct economic threats from Trump. In three nations, favorability increased including Israel (where the president is viewed favourably by 69 per cent of respondents) and Nigeria (favourable level of 79 per cent).

Australians have little confidence in Trump as a world leader, with 77 per cent saying they had none or very little in the president. This year’s survey are well down on Australians’ view of Trump during his first term as president when, in 2019, 64 per cent had little or no confidence in him.

Mexico (91 per cent), Sweden (85 per cent), Germany (81 per cent), Turkey (80 per cent) and France (78 per cent) were the only nations with even less confidence in Trump than Australia.
More than 70 per cent of Australians said democracy in the US worked somewhat or poorly, the second-highest level of any nation.

The survey showed some gender and ideological differences among Australians. Just 7 per cent of people who identified as left had confidence in Trump compared to 57 per cent of those on the right (and 18 per cent of those in the political centre).

Men (28 per cent) were more likely than Australian women (17 per cent) to have confidence in Trump. None were as pessimistic as Swedish women, of whom just 5 per cent expressed confidence in the president.

Elements of the Trump agenda were adopted by Peter Dutton and the Coalition ahead of this year’s election. But the survey suggests anything tied to Trump is marked down by Australian voters.

On personal characteristics, Australians were stridently negative towards the president. He was named as arrogant by 91 per cent, as dangerous by 81 per cent, and as honest by just 18 per cent.

Only 21 per cent agreed he was well-qualified to be president, one of the lowest ratings among any nation, while 26 per cent said Trump could understand complex problems.

When asked about specific global issues, Australians were just as negative.

Only 31 per cent had confidence in his ability to deal with US immigration policies, a quarter agreed he could deal with the war between Russia and Ukraine, and a fifth believed he could handle global economic problems.

The survey of Australia took place before Trump announced his “Liberation Day” tariffs. Consumer sentiment surveys taken at the time showed the president’s plans pushed down confidence and added to uncertainty over the global and domestic economy.

Across all key issues, just people in Spain, Sweden, Turkey and Mexico had a more negative outlook on the Trump presidency than Australia.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is expected to hold a face-to-face meeting with Donald Trump on the sidelines of G7 meeting of world leaders in Canada later this week.

Ahead of the trip, Albanese would not be drawn into criticising Trump.

“I’ll speak directly with the US president about the relationship between Australia and the United States, and I’ll do that respectfully and I’ll do that directly rather than through the media,” he told ABC radio.

“The United States relationship is an important one that Australia has. It’s an important security relationship, it’s also an important economic relationship.”
