He was laughed at by world leaders last week, and a new survey of those in 25 countries suggests people around the globe dont share Donald Trumps high opinion of himself either.

Pew found that respondents generally have less confidence in Trumps ability to lead than they do in Russian President Vladimir Putin. In Canada, only 39 percent of respondents had a positive view of the U.S., which is down from 65 percent at the end of Obamas presidency. For Mexico, the figure halved to 32 percent from 66 percent.
