No matter what happens, I believe the author is correct. Europe will not trust the US in a long time. Trump actually has managed to destroy the image of America in the entire world, in a few months.
This realization may be painful for Americans. But we should know that the rest of the world understands us more clearly than we understand ourselves.
It seems to me most Americans here know what’s going on, and understand it well.
But overall I think most Europeans understand USA in a way most Americans don’t. We generally understand how USA as a society is sick, sick with selfishness to a degree it’s become sociopathic, and for some reason it refuses anything that could help cure it.50 years ago USA was to many Europeans an ideal to follow. Today it’s a warning of what NOT to do.
