World Has Little Confidence In Donald Trump, Poll Shows | Morning Joe

>>> MORE NOW ON THAT NEW PUGH RESEARCH POLL WE MENTIONED AT
THE TOP OF THE SHOW. THE POLISH PEOPLEPLE ARE
EXTRAORDINARILY FAVORABLE TOWARDS THE U.S.
73% HAVE A FAVORABLE VIEW OF THE UNITED STATES.
THAT'S THE HIGHEST IN ALL OF EUROPE AND WELL ABOVE THE
MEDIAN. 46%.
>> LET'S PICK UP ON THAT REALLY QUICKLY.
WHY IS THAT, RICHARD? WHAT ARE THE REASONS WHY THE
UNITED STATES REMAINS SO POPULAR?
>> BECAUSE FROM THE COUNTRIES THAT USED TO BE IN THE WARSAW
PACT IN THE SOVIET BLOC, THEY SAW THE UNITED STATES AS THE
PRINCIPAL AGENT OF THEIR FREEDOM, OF ESSENTIALLY GETTING
THEM OUT FROM UNDER. AND THE MANY OF THEM HAVE MOVED
IN THE DIRECTION OF MARKETS, THEY'VE BECOME MORE DEMOCRATIC.
THE UNITED STATES MORE THAN THE EUROPEANS OFTEN MANY OF WHOM ARE
RELUCTANT, THE U.S. HAS BEEN SEEN AS THEIR PRINCIPAL HELPER
AND THEIR PRINCIPAL EXAMPLE. POLAND, HOWEVER, BEGAN HAS GONE
A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. BY .LARGE, THEY'RE APPRECIATIVE,
BUT THEY GENUINELY ADMIRE WHO WE ARE.
SO THEY LIKE THE UNITED STATES, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO PRESIDENT
TRUMP, IT'S A LITTLE DIFFERENT. >> IT IS.
>> THE PUGH SURVEY SHOWS THAT 57% OF THE POLLS DO NOT HAVE
CONFIDENCE THAT DONALD TRUMP WILL DO THE RIGHT THING.
SO IT'S INTERESTING, THE POLS ARE ONE OF THE COUNTRIES THAT
CAN SEPARATE THEIR FEELINGS FOR THE PT AND THE COUNTRY.
INTEREST THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT INSPIRE MUCH CONFIDENCE IN
EUROPE. JUST 7% IN SPAIN ARE CONFIDENT
HE WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. 10% IN SWEDEN.
11% OF GERMANS. 14% IN FRANCE.
22% OF THE BRITISH AND 25% IN ITALY.
THROUGHOUT THE WORLD, CONFIDENCE IN THE PRESIDENT IS WEAK.
JUST 5% IN MEXICO. >> WOW.
I NEVER SAW THAT COMING WITH MEXICO.
>> 11% IN TESHGKY, 22% IN CANADA, 17% IN KROUTH KOREA SWB
24% IN JAPAN AND 29% IN AUSTRALIA.
THE PRESIDENT DOES HAVE SOME CONFIDENT SCORES IN THE
PHILIPPINES, VIETNAM, NIGERIA, ISRAEL AND A FEW OTHER
COUNTRIES, INCLUDING RUSSIA WHERE 53% IN THE RUSSIAN
FEDERATION THINK HE WILL DO THE RIGHT THING ON THE WORLD STAGE.
BREAK IT DOWN FOR US. >> SO PUGH POLLED PEOPLE IN 37
COUNTRIES AND THE AVERAGE OF PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT DONALD
TRUMP WILL DO THE RIGHT THING FOR THE WORLD IS ONLY 22%.
THAT COMPARES TO BARACK OBAMA WHO HAD SOMETHING LIKE 64%
CONFIDENCE AROUND THE WORLD WHEN HE LEFT OFFICE.
AND IT'S PARTLY POLITICS AND IT'S PARTLY PERSONALITY.
IT'S THINGS LIKE PULLING OUT OF THE TPP, WITHDRAWING AMERICA
FROM THE PARIS CLIMATE ACCORD, A SENSE OF ISOLATIONISM, PEOPLE
DON'T LIKE THOSE THINGS. BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT THE
PRESIDENT'S PERSONALITY. SO MOST PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD,
ACCORDING TO THIS POLL, BELIEVE PRESIDENT TRUMP IS ARROGANT.
THEY THINK HE IS EVEN DANGEROUS FOR WORLD AFFAIRS.
ON THE FLIP SIDE OF THAT, SOME PEOPLE DO HAVE A POSITIVE VIEW.
THEY THINK THAT HE IS STRONG AND EVEN SOME HAD THINK THAT HE IS
CHARISMATIC. BUT YOU'RE RIGHT, OVERALL, THE
PICTURE IS NOT GREAT FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I THINK THE BIG QUESTION IS WHAT DOES THIS DO FOR AMERICA AND FOR
AMERICA'S NATIONAL SECURITY? BECAUSE THERE WILL COME A TIME
WHERE AMERICA NEEDS ITS ALLIES, IT NEEDS ITS INTELLIGENCE TO BE
BELIEVED. WE MAY BE ON THE THRESHOLD OF
THAT MOMENT RIGHT NOW. AND GOING TO THIS G20 SUMMIT
WITH THE WORLD SO OPPOSED TO YOU, YOUR POLICIES, YOUR SENSE
OF ISOLATIONISM, IT'S GOING TO BE VERY HARD FOR AMERICA TO
REBUILD FROM THIS.THE. >> STAGGERING.
>> AND WILLIE, OUR RESEARCH ASSISTANCE, RICHIE HAAS --
HE'S SO CUTE. >> HE'S GOING PLACES.
HE JUSTT NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO SHAVE.
HE PASSED OVER A NOTE SAYING 17%, ONLY 17% IF IN SOUTH KOREA
HAVE A POSITIVE VIEW OF THE UNITED STATES RIGHT NOW AT AN
EXTRAORDINARY -- >> OF THE UNITED STATES OR THE
PRESIDENT? >> TO TRUST US TO DO THE RIGHT
THING. >> TO DO THE RIGHT THING.
IF WE CAN'T STAY ON THE SAME PAGE WITH SOUTH KOREA AS WE TRY
TO DEAL WITH NORTH KOREA, WE WILL HAVE AN ENORMOUS DIPLOMATIC
PROBLEM AND DAYLIGHT EMERGES BETWEEN US AND OUR ALLIES.
THE. >> AND THE JAPANESE NUMBERS ARE
ONLY SLIGHTLY HIGHER AND THE PRESIDENT HAS HAD A GOOD
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE ZAP NIECE PRIME MINISTER.
SO THOSE TWO NUMBERS, I THOUGHT, TONS OF SHOCKING NUMBERS, THOSE
NUMBERS STAND OUT PARTICULARLY IN LIGHT OF WHAT'S GOING ON WITH
NORTH KOREA. >> SO DAVID, WHAT'S THE
PRACTICAL IMPACT OF THESE NUMBERS?
YOU GO DO, YOU LOOK AT THE LIST, MANY OF THEM ARE REFLECTIVE OF
WHAT WE HEAR, YOU'VE BEEN OUR ALLY IN THE UNITED STATES, WE
THINK YOU MIGHT HAVE MADE A MISTAKE IN 2016 AND WE STILL
BELIEVE IN YOU. BUT SOME OF THOSE ARE EVEN
DRIFTING. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO FOREIGN
POLICY IN THE UNITED STATES? WILLIE, I FEAR WHAT IT MEANS FOR
DONALD TRUMP IS IT REINFORCES HIS FEELINGS THAT AT THE END OF
THE DIE DAY, IT'S AMERICA FIRST. OUR ALLIES DON'T SPEND ENOUGH
FOR DEFENSE, THEY DON'T SUPPORT ME AND MY POLICIES.
THIS IS A TIME WHERE AN EMBATTLED U.S. PRESIDENT FEELING
ISOLATED COULD EASILY MAKE A MISCALCULATION.
SO I HOPE IN THESE MEETINGS WITH ALLIES, HE WILL MEET WITH THE
JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER. HE WILL MEET OBVIOUSLY WITH
PRESIDENT XI AND PRESIDENT PUTIN, THAT THE CONVERSATIONS
WILL BE SUCH THAT THEY PRODUCE A JOINT ACTION TO DEAL WITH THESE
PROBLEMS. AS OUR COMMANDING GENERAL IN
SOUTH KOREA SAID, IT'S ALSO THAT OUR PRESIDENT TALK WITH OTHER
LEADERS. THESE FIGURES, THESE NUMBERS
SHOW YOU HOW DIFFICULT THAT WILL
