Here's a glimpse of the global reaction to the U.S. presidential debate: • 'National humiliation' - a U.K. paper • 'It is hard to stoop lower than this' - an Israeli TV anchor • 'American democracy is in a pretty tattered state' - a German news editor

"Of course we're witnessing a new trend in political culture and electoral culture in the United States. But we don't want to comment on it and make any assessments, because it would immediately be seen as an attempt at interference."

An announcer on Russian state TV said:"The candidates behaved like their voters — brawls on the streets of American cities have not let down for several months. America is divided and inflamed."the South China Morning Post that his peers lamented that Americans are now in an"unfortunate" position. "I thought it was pretty symbolic of how polarized American politics has become in the last decade or so, with the two leaders and their respective camps having no dialogue at all between them," he said.that the debate left him"despondent" about America:"The country we have looked to for leadership has descended into an ugly brawl."

People in Japan who watched it on NHK had to watch three men shout over each other while three interpreters interpreted over each other simultaneously soooo yes but not really?🤔

So sad and embarrassing...

NPR National Pinko Radio This channel no longer attempts to stay middle. It's gone completely left!

Wow we are trash in the eyes of the world. Trump got us here. Vote for Biden 2020

I actually thought it was pretty good !It exposed Joe Biden for what he really is! Out of touch! Stupid! Naïve! A liar! And a name caller! Can anyone imagine him with his finger on the nuclear button?

Great Fun! President Trump had Biden dazed and confused

Our impeached POTUS continues to diminish our standing in the world. So looking forward to retiring this needy, mendacious, emotionally damaged gaslighter.

This helps me feel less crazy, knowing at least someone, somewhere, sees it.

Wait... Israel? You mean the country fighting a 3 millennia long war over some words in what appears to be a fictional book? Germany? The country who allowed Hitler to achieve and retain power? Mmmmmkaaaaayyyyy. And “a U.K. paper” doesn’t even deserve acknowledgement. 🙄

The UK? Where they catcall each other in parliament? Glass houses.

WE AMERICANS COULD CARE LESS WHAT SOME LEFT WING LIBERAL NEWSPAPERS SAY ABOUT US. WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE NEW YORK TRASH TIMES SAYS HERE IN THE USA. THEY FORGET WHAT OUR GRANDFATHERS DID TO SAVE THEM FROM THE FASCIST. THEY'D ALL BE SPEAKING GERMAN IF IT WEREN'T FOR US.

JackedKerouack Yep....under a clown occupation of our White House.

Oh no! The world is criticizing the US! That's never happened before. I wonder if the UK, or France realize what a shit show their countries are. They still think they're colonial powers that matter in the world! LOL

The world should know tRump is NOT America he is replaceable and will be replaced. Thanks to the US of A much of the world is free today. So, stop mixing the moron with the nation of great people.

Oh no I guess we gotta worry about what other countries think 😩

I have to be honest, I don’t care what the rest of the world thinks of us. We’ll live our lives and worry about us and they can worry about themselves. My neighbor doesn’t tell me how things should run in my household and I’d pay no attention if he tried. Same applies for them

Well Israel it may be hard to stoop that low but believe you me we can stoop even lower. And cheeto man will do just that.

Joe_Rohde 28000 cast members lost their jobs today. Larger than the size of my town. You tweet about a shit show between 2 idiots. Cali’s economy is contracting or will be as their population decreases. Sad.

NPR, It isn't the, the looting, the mobs harassing other citizens, the arson , the 100 plus days of riots, the violence, the murders that call into question American civilization? It's politicians behaving badly?

Last night's debate is a display of zombeism.Side effect of establishing our morality & not God's in Christ We should beware,if we bite & devour one another,we'll consume one another (Gal.5:15)

Israel, I believe you have Notin-yahoo in your closet.

Since when do Americans ask for advice on democracy from Germany? never.

I mean, there are any number of videos available of parliaments and other legislative bodies literally beating each other and throwing furniture. It was embarrassing but give me a break.

Just as Putin wants. Putin is happy. Erdogan is happy. Any dictatorship on earth is happy right now.

Yet, The NPR Politics Podcast thinks it's hilarious. News Flash: You won't attract young people to politics by making it 'sound fun'. I mean... How serious do things have to get before these ladies leave their slumber party for the newsroom? SickOfIT

A non US friend who lives in Australia messaged me this morning disgusted after watching clips of the debate. Under Trump the US has lost its standing in the world, becoming a country to be pitied.

World sees a criminal clown in the WH MAGA as Nazi loving Fascists. Way to go realDonaldTrump

1. Think how great last night could have been if the fake news had honest reporting for the past 3 years 2. Think how great last night could have been if Obama/Biden/FBI had a full & peaceful xfer of power 3. All these other countries wish they were the US

No one cares what they think.

It’s always good to see how other respected Nations see the USA under this horrible Administration.

MaraLiasson Dear World, NO, Americans are not all idiots. Sometimes, it must seem that way. We know that at least half the country is sane, and probably much more than half. Election day might help to clarify but in the meantime, the good ones are those who believe in civility and respect.

“American democracy?” As a news outlet it is the job & duty of to educate. The United States of America is NOT a democracy it is a Constitutional Republic. 🇺🇸

Pretty much the same as what we Americans said last night.

Those are (were) our allies. Imagine what are enemies are saying

Oddly, the Institutional State is transnational and always on the same page. Their fax machines are always oiled up, full of paper, and ready.

Trump and the GOP are surely destroying America with their legislative obstruction, greed for power and wealth, and pandering to rich donors and corporate interests. They are a dangerous, destructive party that must be voted out in every local, state, and national election.

More than that, why isn't MSNBC using the correct political analysis of 'neo-fascism' to describe Trump. It is much more than mere 'racism' : amnesia about history of Mussolini's blackshirts and Hitlers 'brownshirts' cannot be an excuse for a sophomoric level of analysis.

We’re not tho. We’re fucking strong. We disagree, so what!?

The debate reminded me of Walt Kelley's 'Pogo' comic strip & Sarcophagus MacAbre waiting... for the Death of American Democracy:

Only we get to make fun of America. Boutta colonize Europe 😈

it's all true and we deserve to be the laughing stock of the world

'I ended it because a lot of people were complaining; If you were a certain person, you had no status in life. It was sort of a reversal.' The words of a scared, impotent, power hungry narcissist playing on the fears of the privileged. Sound familiar? vote DontBeScared

It is a humiliation for the United States of America, once a proud country. Now we have a choice. Democracy or Chaos. Trump needs to go back to his private business where he is the Boss of all he surveys. Not fit to run the country.

Any takes from people outside of media? Not too credible when you only include responses from news media organizations. Get some diverse sources!!!

Shame on us. We the people are ultimately responsible.

My Norwegian husband’s father - who is a by the book, no nonsense, serious and thoughtful gentleman - actually said realDonaldTrump was an “asshole” when asked what he thought of the debate. That (accurate description coming from him) knocked my socks off. Debates2020

4 years ago, after the election, I was overseas & met people from many countries. Every one of them asked me pretty much the same question:'What is the matter with you people?' I was as baffled as they were & continue to be. When 3rd World countries pity the US, something's wrong

Let's all try and remember that this is not a 'both sides' issue. realDonaldTrump made the debate about himself and his own insecurities, just as he makes every single thing he does about him and only him. He doesn't give a shit about anyone but himself.

Who cares what the rest of the world thinks?

I keep saying this but when the rest of the developed, civilized world goes from laughing at us to pitying us, we know we've messed up.

None of those are false.

If I were in another country, I would be very worried. Historically, powerful nations that implode tend to go on the warpath. Rome, Spain, France all took it out on their neighbors. They should impose sanctions until we depose the GOP and straighten up.

To the casual outside observer, this has *been* a train wreck. It didn't suddenly become a train wreck because we had a debate last night. Question is, can we count on the world to intercede on the behalf of American citizens if things go horribly wrong in the coming months?

All of this thanks to trump the traitor.

What a disgrace!

☝️NPR. You can move your headquarters to another country. 🤷‍♂️

The truth is, half of us love the combat and we really don't care what they think.

Of course. 'At one point, Biden referred to Trump as 'Putin's puppy'...Asked for comment, Dmitry Peskov, Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesman....' Screw NPR that not one of the multitude of things Trump said was highlighted. Biden was attacked ruthlessly B4 fighting back

Take a look at parliament in the UK. N what country was that that likes to through chairs at their states men? Next debate should be in the octagon with a few chairs thrown in at key moments LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE

Any particular person who caused this reaction? I mean...

And the volcano called Trump exploded last night.

I just heard jchatterleyCNN say the American Presidency was irrelevant. 😭 (She may have just meant in terms of helping Americans with any new stimulus help, but...oh gosh that's just as bad...😭) Hope America can turn this around!!!

Trump went off the rails as was expected. As a result, Biden couldn't speak and when he did, he was terrible at elaborating. These are the best America could come up with. I think we all need a therapist.

Not reaction to the debate. Reaction to Dumbster. NPR is the top offender of bothsidesism in the media today

We’ll get through this Trump political debacle and emerge as hated as ever

Not Israel saying it’s hard to stoop lower than this while actively committing genocide...

Personally, l enjoyed watching Trump dominate his two opponents.

Trump is putting AmericaFirst - making our allies pay their fair share of their own defense, trying to negotiate fairer trade deals - what do you expect from those who stand to lose the most from his reelection? Election2020 Debates2020 Debatenight

😢

WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS

Our own president is our biggest national security threat. He has shown to the entire world, and our enemies waiting on “stand by” How divided, therefore, weak and vulnerable we are as a nation. I’m devastated that our children had to witness this moment in American history

Naw, In the 2nd presidential election, Jefferson said if Adams was elected wives and sisters would be raped in the streets and Adams said that Jefferson was a Hermaphrodite

The Commission on Presidential Debates should cancel all remaining scheduled debates. Today. Don’t wait, don’t ask the campaigns for input.

He POTUS is God damn embarrassment. PERIOD

From Counties who don't have free & open Elections every 4 years.. Enjoy ur Globalist Tyranny, European Union Losers.. Brexit? That's humiliation.

Welcome to this broadcast please

It’s bad.

Obama polarized this country as much or more than Trump.

Welcome to Trumpstan

America IS exceptional after all... Its exceptional we’re still a superpower with such a stunningly ignorant electorate.

FixTheUSA VoteHimOutVoteHimOut blacklivesmatter

The world is laughing at us and has been since Trump took office. sad

Every one of those countries has had their own embarrassments, if Trump is still President after January we deserve all the abuse they can heap.

Sad.

Greatest Nation in the World puts forward their two greatest men into a debate. The future is looking good to me.

I'm so sorry, rest of the civilized world. We hate it, too.

addendum 'it's not hard to stoop lower than this, just watch'

Spot on assessment. Pretty embarrassing.
