CNN’s Zakaria: The U.S. Is ‘Becoming Irrelevant’ Under Trump

.@FareedZakaria's take: the world is losing respect for America https://t.co/AhkBCpO7T2

— CNN (@CNN) July 30, 2017

CNN’s Fareed Zakaria opened his show today by talking about “the fallen respect for America” around the world.

He recalled how someone told him “your country has gone crazy” and said the White House is so “utterly chaotic” now that Republicans like Karl Rove are now slamming the White House.

Zakaria invoked a recent Pew study to make this point:

“People around the world increasingly believe that they can make do without America. Trump’s presidency has made the U.S. something worse than being feared or derided, it is becoming irrelevant.”

And Zakaria, who wrote a book years ago titled The Post-American World, went through more of the survey’s findings and then said, “The post-American world is coming to fruition much faster than I ever expected.”
