Human Freedom Index affected by Trump Derangement Syndrome
The latest edition of the Human Freedom Index was just released by the Cato Institute and Fraser Institute. Lo and behold, the USA dropped by 9 to now rank 17. This is a total joke! Just compare to Germany on rank 9!
It is well known that the Cato Institute was abjectly anti Trump! Great work to sully the once sterling reputation of the HFI with petty politics! So in two years from now these institutes will show that the 46th President of the U.S. has lifted up freedom again?

Personal Freedom on the Decline Worldwide: New Human Freedom Index
Why Hong Kong after the takeover by the Communist Party of China is still ranked no. 3 is dubious at best! However, the article acknowledges: "... that the territory has been losing freedom during the past 10 years and we expect future editions of the index to show notable declines in Hong Kong’s ratings and rankings, especially given Beijing’s aggressive interventions there in 2019 and 2020. ..."
The Cato Institute is a unabashedly Never Trump organisation. Cato Institute even goes so far to suggest that freedom was gaining under the Obama Administration, which is preposterous: "... The United States ranks 17th and has begun a decline in its level of freedom in 2018 after years during which it had been regaining lost ground from a previous decline. Its drop in economic freedom in 2018 exceeds its decline in personal freedom. ..."
