He is elected is president. Everyone I speak to seems to think he is doing a good job. The loud mouths and protestors make the most noise. That’s why they get shocked at Brexit and trump being elected. The majority of the uk and Europe supports him. Kid yourself all you want - it’s true.

There you go WW, correct topic now.
That post followed this post by you:
"You may not like trump as a man but the majority (yes the majority) think his policies make sense"
So your article is 18 months out of date and doesn't refer to Trump's enacted policy as it refers to the question (put forward to 10,000 people) "Should ALL further migration from Muslim countries be stopped". It is not a gauge on what people think of Trump's policies at all so it is bollocks to suggest that "The majority agree with his policies" especially when some of the policies include locking children in prisons and starting trade wars with Canada, China and the EU.
A better gauge would actually be opinion polls rating Trump (from around the world as you believe that important) - so have a few:
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/18/us-leadership-world-confidence-poll
That one shows him at 30% (a clear minority)
https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/03/how-trump-has-weakened-the-worlds-view-of-the-us.html
"Of 17 nations for which Pew Research Center has numbers for both 2016 and 2017, only three—Greece, Hungary, and Nigeria—saw a popular uptick for America. All the others were down, some dramatically: Australia (60 to 48), Canada (65 to 43), France (63 to 46), Germany (57 to 35), India (56 to 49), Italy (72 to 61), Japan (72 to 57), Kenya (63 to 54), Netherlands (65 to 37), Poland (74 to 73), South Africa (60 to 53), Spain (59 to 31), Sweden (69 to 45), and United Kingdom (61 to 50)."
So yeah, not a majority in the slightest, Good talking to you and I hope you enjoy the reading and you don't get confused in the future.
As for the ones that count, Americans, his ratings are as follows:

41% approval rating (again that's a minority)
