President Trump’s mission to ‘Make America Great Again’ might actually make America worse — at least to non-Americans — according to a new Pew survey of 37 countries. Trump has been president for less than six months but in that time opinions of American leadership have plunged. A median of just 22 percent of respondents to the survey have confidence in Trump to do the right thing in international matters, contrasted with 64 percent at the end of Barack Obama’s presidency. As a country, the U.S.’ favorable rating fell in the same period to 49 percent from 64 percent. We opened the lines to ask you — with the Fourth of July next week and with travel season kicking in, does our poor image abroad concern you?

Boston Globe editor Brian McGrory joined us to go over the latest headlines.

One of President Trump’s executive orders lowers the bar for who can be deported, which includes people charged with a criminal offense, and that applies to non-citizens who sacrificed their lives to defend our country. Could deporting veterans backfire as a national security risk? Juliette Kayyem joined us take on this and a range of other headlines. She’s the host of the SCIF podcast, on the faculty at the Harvard Kennedy School and founder of Kayyem solutions.

Gwyneth, we have a problem. That is, NASA has a problem with Gwyneth Paltrow. Her online enterprise GOOP is selling ‘healing stickers,’ which are allegedly made with the same conductive technology that NASA uses, and NASA says these claims have no weight.

Medical Ethicist Art Caplan joined us on the line for his take on these and other medical and health issues. Caplan is the Drs. William F and Virginia Connolly Mitty Chair, and director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center. He’s also the co-host of the Everyday Ethics podcast.

Bill McKibben has been in Africa looking at what bypassing the grid means for the continent — and we’ll find out what the U.S. pulling out of the Paris Climate Accord has to do with this. McKibben is the founder of the grassroots climate campaign 350.org and the Schumann Distinguished Scholar in environmental studies at Middlebury College. His latest book is "Oil and Honey: The Education of an Unlikely Activist."

A few british school boys made the news recently by wearing skirts to school to protest the “no shorts” policy.
