Schooled by Trump, Americans are learning to dislike their allies
-
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP repeatedly claims that the European Union was “formed in order to screw the United States”. Canada, America’s northern neighbour and second-largest trading partner, is “one of the nastiest countries”. Russia was “doing what anyone would do” when it bombed Ukraine’s energy infrastructure during a pause in American intelligence sharing. Our polling with YouGov shows how this rhetoric is reshaping people’s opinions about their countries’ allies.

Resentment towards how the world is rightly talking about US being fucking dumbasses, possibly?

Fucking bootlickers.

The feeling is mutual. The majority of people in the EU are downgrading USA to "necessary partner" now and one fifth sees USA as an ally. Two thirds feels cooperation should be reduced.
Well played Putin, well played.

Thing is, I don't care if an idiot doesn't like me. I know whatever reasons he has are invalid.

So the data shows explicitly that it's not Americans but Republicans but well just go ahead and generalize.

I'm not sure the Democrats even have ideological leaders.

Tariffs that don't exclusively impact red states, I guess?

Interesting that for Democrats Canada has had more "unfriendly" responses than the EU even before the sanctions. Maybe because the EU is less relevant to them since Canada directly borders the US?
