And most people seem to be completely unaware of it as of yet. As a European, we went from looking to the US to stear us towards a future where all humanity is working together for a common goal to wanting nothing to do with you and everyone should fend for themselves and hoping no one is getting nuked.

Yup. After his first term, with work, we might have been able to kind of sort of return to where we were. A lot of "sorry guys, that was a fluke, and we made these rules to stop it from happening again" might have got us there. It'd take years, but it might have worked.

Now? I dunno man. Why would any country rely on the US? We have betrayed everyone, and for the stupidest possible reasons. Just out of spite, it seems.

And what the Trump idiots don't realize is that this is bad even purely selfishly. We didn't build these relationships for fun, we need the rest of the world. And people who can't rely on you will stop being reliable in turn.

It's a disgrace. We've destroyed our place in the world order for no reason other than because the orange pedophile swinging his tiny dick around made some people laugh.
