Your guide to Washington and the world for the 2024 election of the United States

Perhaps the agenda of Donald Trump has a simple reason for being so enemy to Europe. Trump responds to flattery. Europe does not offer him almost none.

Although European leaders sometimes try to massage the world’s thinner-skinned man, their publications do not have any secret to their contempt. France, Germany and Spain are between voters, two-thirds said Trump’s election made the world safer. Europe is very tidy for typoficism.

Trump, of course, distinguishes the balloon of a huge orange baby baby in London in 2019.

Europeans testing is to go further: not only with him, not America itself. A short jump to determine a dictator moroon to drain the community that the US President chose it. Canadian ice-hockey fans boo the US national anthem in February; “Move America away”, made a great baseball hat. Otherwise, anti-Americanism was noteworthy with his lack.

Americans, when Americans are regularly fat, ignorant and arrogant, before drowning in Pretzel, they compared to George W Bush, who claims to be a crisis. In the holiday, New Yorkers were personally responsible for war crimes. On the eve of the Iraq war, the Europeans joke the difference between yogurt and Americans. Punchline: After a while, yogurt develops a little culture.

French President Jacques Shirak, I liked that there is a simple principle in foreign affairs: “I see what the Americans do and see the opposite. In this way, I am sure that I am sure.” How they collapsed. It was not only anti-anti-American Islamist terrorism, but an anti-imperialist Latin American populists like Hugo Chávez and Evo Morales.

The President was temporary Idocy. . . Anti-Americanism is to make a broken leg instead of waiting for healing

However, it changed in 2025 of anti-Americanism. Jokes about nationality are now in a comfortable way. Citizens are not the right to blame for the governments, especially Americans, which we will encounter the most, are hoping for the Democrats.

In any case, Netflix and social media have all of us closed us together. You cannot really reject America’s culture when you choose to consume daily. Go to Paris today and see how much people talk to English. Go to the riddle in the number of London and NFL fans. According to the signal messages of JD Vance’s and Pete Hegseth, Trump team is more anti-American against Europe than Europeans.

Those who were replied by Elon Musk, moved to another Western coastal network, Bluesky. European car buyers boycotted Tesla, but would receive a good American alternative. Bush’s most impressive Takedownownows is an American director, Michael Moore, Trump and Musk’s best criticism, probably the United States will come from the United States. America is both a thesis and antithesis.

Diplomatically, anti-Americanism is not suitable for the moment. Trump, fanatically reconciled in a monument to Anti-American under Bush – that is, Putin’s Russian – and even sporadic gestures Chavista Venezuela. Europeans are unlikely that they are in an imperial anti-imperial mood: America’s protection, not wishing not to withdraw.

The lesson of the Bush years is the temporary presence. Five-a-half years before Iraq, the American Barack Obama elected President. Anti-Americanism is to make a broken leg instead of waiting to heal.

However, if the Americans and their president are wrong, it is not right to completely cancel them completely. Trump reflects half of America. The democratic majority reflects a society that is ready to endure mass shooting and desperate political system. America provides more than the cultural background of the world, which is sometimes wrong for its own country. It is not even if the Democratic president is.

Only last spring was the United States during the presidency of Joe Biden looked unfavorable More than 40 percent in Greece, Singapore and Australia, Britain and Canada. The next time the inquiries will find the question of the western nature of the record.

Europeans – and Canadians and others – realize that we have their own values ​​and they do not stand up for them. Boycott Philadelphia cream cheese if you feel better. However, most Europeans see that times are very serious for anti-Americanism that hit the knees.
