    Not much concern, hardly registered. Given what he has called Americans he can't really complain

    Best comment was that the Americans were just projecting their anger about their own president.

    Survey (from December) on net trust ratings for different countries:

    USA 59 down 7
    Australia 37 down 10

    Japan 37 plus 3
    China 9 plus 42
    Russia 9 plus 26

    I am guessing these figures will have continued to swing since then and this sort of thing will not help American ratings.
