Using "low IQ" to describe Black leaders is a racist tactic, not a political stance. It’s dehumanizing, bigoted, and beneath the dignity of the presidency. Donald Trump’s rhetoric is a disgrace that continues to stain our country.

According to this ranking, Canada’s reputation has improved since 2024. We are now the 2nd most reputable country in the world. The United States has dropped from 30th to 48th in that same year, the biggest drop of any nation BY FAR. Its reputation-peers are now Kuwait, Algeria, Kazakhstan…
