 Our leaders, enemies feared him. Our allies respected him. They may not have liked him. They may not have liked the pressure he put on NATO to pony up their 2% of their GDP for defense, which is what they're supposed to do. And many of them did because of his pressure. W complained about NATO not ponying up the money. Obama complained about it. Donald Trump did something about it. So they may not have liked him, but they respected him.
