second Trump presidency is really what everyone thought the first one would be

They really are just pissing all over the legacy of the office and the reputation of the country. 

However, like I've said, this is exactly what the rest of the world thinks of the collective nation of the United States. Boorish, ignorant, self-important fuckwits.

Counter point, we invented the Baconator. Where would the world be without us. You would miss out on this....

It's really just the US drifting away from Europe in general.

The vibe shifted long ago, MAGA is just twisting the knife as they pull it out.

Strangely enough the last President that had real respect for Europe was H.W. Bush, the Gulf War was a real joint effort. 
Already it slipped under Clinton who made a deal with the Serbs without informing his European allies. Not to mention they backed the corruption in Moscow that would birth Putin.
When Putin came to the scene it was obvious something was very wrong when the Kursk sank and he shrugged and the Russians invaded Chechnya and later Georgia. 
But the US insisted that Putin was a good guy.

Post 9/11 as far as the Americans were concerned it was never enough. Obama? He spied on all EU leaders and frankly didn't give a shit about Crimea and other European crises.

Biden? He fanned the flames in Ukraine and pulled out of Afghanistan without informing his European allies. 

Trump? Transactional as expected but unexpected that he is seemingly uninterested to strike deals. He just wants to cut his losses.

I think what surprises the Americans is how well Europe and China get along. People here see China as a different culture but not as a threat. And China and Japan are the most popular non-EU countries by far.

Overall we still like some American brands (although Adidas has now taken over Nike) but we no longer follow the lifestyle like we did in the 90's and early 2000's. 
And you can see it everywhere. The Spotify Top 10 in the Netherlands has just 2 American songs at numbers 7 and 8, and 8 is a collab between a Korean-New Zealand artist and Bruno Mars. Xbox is pretty much dead in Europe. iPhone is losing more and more ground to Samsung and Chinese brands. When it comes to video games overall Japan is dominant again.

Fact check: some of the biggest gyms are in Dubai but these issues are a hundred times worse. The clientele are Instagram chicks who’re visiting…for reasons. Or influencers, bodybuilders, and athletes who were paid a ridiculous amount to live there to fluff Dubai’s image. A tense situation.

A couple have been fined £1,500 after they found a migrant had gripped onto the back of their motor van on the way home from France.
When Adrian and Joanne Fenton discovered the individual zipped beneath the cover of a bike rack at their home in Essex,  in October, they reported the incident to the police.
The couple, from Heybridge, were then fined by the Home Office for neglecting to check that someone was concealed within the motorhome, according to the BBC.

The 55-year-old claimed that neither the cover nor the bike rack had been examined by border guards in Calais or the UK before to or following the crossing.
The "really tight" cover they had been using for their bicycles on the back of the camper was unzipped, according to Mr Fenton.
"He sees two trainers... goes to have a look, and there's two legs attached to it," Ms Fenton told the BBC.
"He's gone 'Jo, you need to phone the police. We've got a stowaway.'"
She said the person hiding inside the carrier told police he was from Sudan and that he was 16 years old.

I guess the UK prefers their citizens to let illegals roam free rather than report them. Take heed, UK. Trump garnered significant support because we didnt take border security seriously. These dumb lib politicians think their constituents are for open borders. Somehow, we've made it seem racist to say we don't want illegal immigrants in our countries. I don't care what shade their skin color is; I care if they are legally here.

The law they have broken was brought in  by the Tories as an anti-illegal immigration measure (and the labour party aren't the liberal party)

Last week there were a number of stories about how Denmark managed to avoid the rise of the far right as we’re seeing all over. Stories from mainstream liberal outlets. The tl;dr: sensible immigration policies from the center left government… that’s it.

This is very likely what you're going to see from this Labour government, and Trump has given us the perfect cover. Besides, in the worldwide trump recession, there will be no need for growth burgeoning immigration.

I could see left parties trying to boost overall GDP in a recession by opening up the taps. That's what Justin Trudeau did 2021-2024 to avoid an official recession

Living standards declined because housing went way way up and there aren't enough doctors but hey, total GDP didn't decline so mission accomplished.

walking back a policy of sending all asylum seekers to a fucking camp in Rwanda isn't exactly 'open borders'
