It would be foolish for Trump to believe what happens in the world doesn't affect the US. US companies do business worldwide. The Great Depression was worldwide.
Sorry, did you misspell Iraq there?
Or is the article author unaware of the world's perception of the US for the past 25 years?
The US was perceived as a bully that was occasionally acting out according to their selfish interests. Now they're perceived as an unhinged, tantrum prone toddler with a fragile ego and power over a huge army with nuclear capability and no regard for consequences of their actions.
25 years? The majority of the Middle East, South America, and most of Asia — like 2/3's of the worlds population — have known this for 50+ years.
Only the average untraveled normies in the developed world realized this recently. Hollywood and the manufacturing of consent from the media are mostly to blame (aka capitalist propaganda).

Korea and Japan would disagree.
And the internet barely existed at that point, not every westerner in 2005 could have afforded to travel widely. The average western person would have gotten their general impression of the US from western media.

No, we're not.
A bunch of lunatics
