Can't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs my friend.
I've never once had to bomb a wedding or extra judicially kill an American citizen to make an omlet. |

There's plenty of people who don't know about pol pot.
Yep. It's like if it doesn't affect western countries, the genocides aren't really brought up. |

Not current, but a possible counter point would have been Nelson Mandela.
Ghandi, Abraham Lincoln, and Queen Elizabeth were known for their positive contributions |

I've never heard Jacinda Ardern mentioned until now. And Barack Obama was the first black POTUS (and also ridiculed by some because of that). Xi Jinping is probably the best example.
Xi? The guy orchestrating a genocide? |

What exactly is the omelette in this analogy, war crimes? |

Not a country leader, but Zohran Madani is quite well known |

That's the problem, people think of Trump as the cause He's the result. When your government is for sale, the elected are greedy, ruthless, amoral villains. Trump is stupid, we'll miss him when someone brilliantly evil "wins". |

Ah, I should have directed this at the top comment which implies he has a good reputation worldwide. |

No? He was a leader during USA civil war, nothing noteworthy on the world scale. He was for freeing some slaves, but famously not his. Roosevelt, yes, that guy is more known for their contribution. |

Jacinda Ardern and Barack Obama both had a pretty good rep and worldwide appeal. Maybe even Xi Jinping Idk if your statement is correct
Ardern unfortunately ended her term prematurely after having been through three major disasters (Christchurch terrorist shooting, Whakaari eruption which killed 22 people, and of course COVID) and has been chased out of the country by a bunch of rancid conspiracy nutters (and the far right politicians that support them). The Prime Minister of a tiny country like NZ is only going to get well known for negative reasons for the country, even if she handled those issues mostly well. |
