Let’s keep it honest here, European leaders have been talking down about America on a regular basis for decades. They look at us like we are trash and only tolerate us because we have the most feared military. It has been worse since Trump was elected again so is it really surprising to hear that the Trump administration does like them? Truthfully Europe is weak and has to rely on others to protect itself.
That’s not honest at all. European leaders may not always have liked how the Americans operated, but there always was a large amount of respect that stemmed from much more than just military might. The US has been a frontrunner humanitarian aid, soft diplomacy, scientific research and economic development since at least the end of WW2. Europe looked to the US to take the lead in global conflicts because the US always took the lead and would not have it otherwise.
With the Trump 2.0 administration however, European leaders do look down on the US administration for their incompetence and severe lack of manners and decency.
I’m from the UK and the general feeling is not just distrust of the US government but also the complete disbelief that the American people could vote that fat traitorous wanker back in yet again. It is completely unfathomable.
I’m in the US and I have the same feeling. Surrounded by coworkers who have.
I honestly have lost all faith in the people of this country.
European here. I think this is totally true. We used to look at you as our older brother. And while you protected us, we invested in you (don’t believe the trade deficit horse shit Trump’s spewing), 400 billion from pension funds in Netherlands alone for example. My guess is that Europe has many trillions invested there. And we’re so Americanized, you wouldn’t believe. But this administration has changed it all with their fake territorial claims, siding with russia, and other outright dumb policicy decisions. It’s like you guys all of a sudden forgot what we had going on, because some orange turd tells you so. And wtf are you doing to Canada? 🤦🏽That’s really pathetic actually.
Going through their history they hate Canada and claim to be independent so I’d say they’ve been drinking some Kookaid but pretend to be a critical thinker.

This is so dishonest and wrong, I’m flabbergasted. Are you a Trump supporter, by any chance?

Any evidence for that other than ‘the vibe’? I agree with @Pringles@lemm.ee
