Only 25% of French people still consider the US an ally, for most people in the West Trump is a dictator  - 1

More than half of the citizens of France, Germany and the UK would describe US President Donald Trump as a "dictator", with this opinion also shared by 47 percent of respondents in Poland, according to a public opinion survey by the French think tank "Common Destiny" (Destin commun), reported Agence France-Presse, quoted by DPA.

About 35 percent of respondents in France in the survey show more sympathy for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after the scandal with Donald Trump in the White House late last month, while 9 percent feel less sympathy for the Ukrainian head of state after the dispute, the survey findings show.

Furthermore, only a quarter of the French still consider the United States an ally, and more than half (57 percent) "seem to have difficulty describing the relationship" with Washington.
