Is America really respected around the world once again?

The WH just announced that America is once again respected around the world. They are saying that because Colombia backed down and accepted the deportees. I think that changed nothing to how the world feels about America/Trump. He just pardoned 16000 insurrectionist - he has been bulling other countries – he figures Russia had the right to invade Ukraine - he supports the rich and not the poor/middle class and his polices spell disaster for the world, Cheers!

America has long been respected by countries geographically around the world, yes, but universally, no.

She has many enemies for various reasons. Although those are mostly based on their own dogma being inimical to "Western" dogma, some do reflect reactions to American actions overseas.

However, she also does have friends, though they might wonder what on Earth she is doing to herself and others at times.

"Once again"? Since...? The USA has only just given the White House key to a new President whose first action appears to be to issue as many Presidential orders he possibly can, as loudly as he can, before he needs think about parliamentary approval or any consequences he might not expect or want .

So really, it is too early to consider that question seriously. Knee-jerkery won't cut it: only time will tell.
