I know that, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary (most of which can be found here https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump), @Bjerknes still believes Donald Trump is a great man and president and will make 'Murica great again.
But here's an interesting thought: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...es-after-trumps-first-foreign-trip/102292048/
Europeans disagree. The US already was losing much of its global influence and it most definitely isn't the superpower it used to be. But Trump's behaviour on the trip was nothing short of a disaster. He came to Europe as a typical obese ignorant American tourist with no feeling for local customs or sensitivities and tried to strong-arm his way through negotiations. After this failed he gave up on talking altogether it seems.
That Merkel is actually literally saying that we should distance ourselves from the US.. Wow.
Given the fact that the US-Europe relationship has been an extremely important for both sides, it's going to be interesting to see which effect it has on the world.

"Anyone who accelerates climate change by weakening environmental protection, who sells more weapons in conflict zones and who does not want to politically resolve religious conflicts is putting peace in Europe at risk," Gabriel said.
Those who do not oppose this US policy are guilty.
