[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People have been gnashing teeth like this since my study abroad in 2003, and it’s been nonsense the whole time. [/quote]
Meh. I feel like back then (Iraq, etc) people were critical of USA policies but not Americans.  This is a whole different ballgame. And the only people who don’t think so are MAGA.  Trump is going after allies.  He is basically giving the middle finger to NATO.  It’s so not the same. I think for now most people pity Americans but that might change once consequences of this new world order emerge in other countries. [/quote]

One issue now is that Trump is both infuriating and energizing rightwing nuts in Europe, instead of pulling them on to Team America.

I think another issue is that Trump is simply openly corrupt. I’m a liberal person who thought Dubya was wrong and protested against him, but I never thought he was intentionally corrupt.

Trump is intentionally, flagrantly corrupt, and I think most centrist and center right Europeans are horrified by that.

The political atmosphere itself might not actually be a big deal. But, if outrage with the U.S. hurts the 90-day visa waiver program or messes with our ability to use Visa cards, that could be really annoying. [/quote]

I think the political atmosphere could be a huge deal. I’ve been looking into travel for the summer to Scandinavia or the UK. But now  I’m questioning whether Americans will be welcome.  The political environment can change quickly. Despite all the flight sales going on I’m wondering if it makes sense to wait to see what happens.  How is this even happening?[/quote]
I'm doing a Scandinavian and England/Germany cruise this summer with my daughter as a graduation celebration trip. But I have low level anxiety. I loathe Trump and the weak lily-livered Rs, but will we be assumed as in the same basket as them? [b]Should we wear a Canadian maple leaf shirt [/b]and keep our heads down?[/quote]

Definitely don’t do this unless you know a lot about Canada and current events. You’ll be sniffed out as a fraud and then reviled even more. [/quote]
