    You say “we violated”, but its literally one person called Trump.

    I think once he is out of office, the western world can work together again. Its just so much to gain from that. The mentality of Trump is from Russia or North Korea.

    All his decisions can be reversed by the next president.

      All his decisions can be reversed by the next president.

      And then reversed by the next next president. Do you think this kind of trust violation blows over just like that?

      The orange Cheeto threatened to annex a fucking European country. And nobody in the US told him otherwise. The Democrats seem to be too busy eating popcorn and waiting for elections.

      American companies have shown that they will happily bend the knee and lick the boots of fascist dictators for money. No one should trust them ever again.

      The loss of soft power can’t be reversed easily and especially not in the next presidency. Why would any sane country think this is a one off for us? Next election we might elect someone crazier for all they know.

      2/3 of the voting population didn’t vote against him, btw

      doesn’t really seem like “literally one person”

      one person, along with all the people who voted for him, all the people who got those voters to vote for him, all the people who helped him

      Romania knew how to deal with a fascist candidate, the USA didnt

      The US has worked to keep the upper hand w.r.t. tech, espionage, backdoors, copyright acts and trade agreements for decades. We never saw eye to eye (he), this didn’t start with him.

      There’s a bit of a problem with that: every single thing Trump has promised has turned out to be a lie. A very obvious lie that has costed this entire country more than we could possibly imagine.

      So… How do you square that with what Trump promised before now?
