alt Hacker NewsIt’s hard to take comments like this serious with all the hyperbole.
But regardless. Polls of your average citizen aren’t worth a whole lot considering most people get their information from social media.

I think Americans are unwilling or unable to see just how much foreign attitudes towards the US have shifted.

That comment was 100% correct. There was no hyperbole there.
What's hyperbolic? The trust thing is borne out by repeated polling of which countries people trust. The current US administration is openly profiteering from governing.
I do think it'll take a few years before Americans wake up to how badly their reputation has tanked around the world across successive governments of either party in the recent decade.
Greenland, Iran, Falklands, Ukraine, Gaza, Taiwan, all these things probably feel like minor missteps in the US news cycle but they have had a major impact.
