Trump’s Approval Rating in Europe First, Trump’s approval rating in Europe is at a historic low - the lowest of any American president on record. Today, he is one of the most hated figures in Europe, second only to Putin. Second, the disapproval is nearly universal (Romania and Kosovo are surprising outliers). Countries that were historically close U.S. allies now view the United States as a potential adversary. Third, the propaganda coming from Trump’s administration claiming that “everyone now respects” the U.S. is exactly that - propaganda and lies. The data show the opposite.
