I notice the same too. Maybe people are acting like Trump...secretly getting vaccinated but still catering to vaccine conspiracy theories. Social injustice issues about the same but there does seem to be more pickiness about someone physical looks. Weather is nicer outside...people probably getting out more often and getting laid...relieves a lot of stress. wrbtrader
Even the Russians agree that the world is now a better place with the new President. Poll shows people of the world think US significantly less awful now that Trump is gone The percentage of people with favorable views of the United States has increased in at least a dozen countries since former President Donald Trump left office, according to a new poll released Tuesday. "President Joe Biden inherited a tarnished American image abroad when he took office on Jan. 20 following four years of President Donald Trump's 'America First' foreign policies and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that called into question the status of the world's oldest continuous democracy," noted Morning Consult, which conducted the survey tracking international sentiment. "Nearly 100 days later as the United States and the world meets a symbolic milestone of Biden's presidency, the Oval Office's current occupant is overseeing a sizable improvement to the American brand across many allied countries," the pollsters added. According to the latest surveys of adults in 14 other nations, favorable views of the U.S. have increased by an average of nine points in the wake of Trump's departure from the White House. U.S. popularity has improved the most in Germany, where there has been a 47-point net gain in favorability following Biden's inauguration. Since Jan. 20, the percentage of Germans with a favorable view of the U.S. has increased from 24% to 46%, a 22-point swing. Meanwhile, 37% of Germans now hold an unfavorable view of the U.S., down 25 points from the pre-Biden mark of 62%. Similar positive changes in foreign countries' perceptions of the U.S. have been observed in Japan (+39), France (+37), Canada (+32), and the United Kingdom (+30), with smaller gains seen in Spain (+26), Italy (+23), Australia (+21), Mexico (+15), Brazil (+10), and Russia (+6).
I'm always in close contact family and friends in United States, France, Canada and South Korea. More talk these days about life, plans for a family reunion, traveling with friends in comparison to the last few years. The perception of the United States has definitely improved tremendously (not a little but a lot) by the world perspective. I'm friends with a family in Sweden and they have less negative things to say about the United States in comparison to when Trump was in office. U.S. financial markets are loving it too...one thing that nobody can argue unless they've been mainly trying to Short the main markets. In fact, I clearly remember all the threads here @ Elitetrader.com about the doom / gloom forecasting by those that predicted Biden will kill the market rally, the markets will crash, how far down will the markets drop... Those traders that were stuck on Trump...they too are quiet these days. Knock on Wood wrbtrader
Let’s be honest there’s less to argue about with Biden as President Not a matter of being "honest"... it's about being naive. Biden is doing LOTS of damage to America, but few are bitching about it.
