    1. You should take off Ukraine. They’re only approving of him out of need. Makes the relationship even clearer

      Even in Hungary it is below 0!

      Also, the fit is deficient. Ukraine should be taken out because it is a warring country, HDI is an outlier there. Then, the fit line would drop down much, much faster with a way better correlation coefficient.

      Those countries where people live better despise Trump and his policies. Those countries where people live worse are more prone to being taken by Trump’s populist rhetorics.

    3. Weird that the Finland- Netherlands connection is here as well. I would expect Finland to be far more negative.

    4. This chart conveniently glosses over the messy bits like cultural affinities like strongman appeal resonating in places with histories of authoritarian leanings, anti-EU sentiments, or plain old economic resentment toward Western hegemony. It’s selective framing to pat the high-HDI crowd on the back.

      Propaganda at its finest: simplistic, divisive, and utterly predictable.

      It’s a bit odd that you chose green to signify the worst approval. The colors should be opposite.

    6. If Trump… who runs in “American first”… get high approval reading from foreign citizens, I would argue he’s doing a terrible job

      This graph is also a hint that countries with a poorly performing economy, where people face more struggles to live a decent life, have a tendency to accept authoritarian regimes or extremist views, possibly to work around the country’s issues. Would that be a correct interpretation?

      What exactly is -50 approval rating? I dont quite get it. Does that mean 50% approve and 50% disaprove?
