I would have to unfortunately disagree with you. It is a person with a positive self-image and who doesn't need the opinions of others for self-worth who doesn't care a fig what the rest of the world thinks. An individualist doesn't have to have a highly positive public opinion poll result in order to live life fully.
Since other world leaders don't consult popular opinion before speaking in public, why should ours?
