No matter what happens, I believe the author is correct. Europe will not trust the US in a long time. Trump actually has managed to destroy the image of America in the entire world, in a few months.

I’m from Europe, I have relatives in the US, I’ve spent a whole year doing my senior year in the US, I’ve traveled to the US multiple times. What is currently happening makes me incredibly sad. I’ve always seen Trump as something temporary, some illness that has befallen a great country that soon will be healed. But what JVL writes is true, trust in the US is gone, for good. I see it within myself, my peers and in the local media.
Would it change your opinion in the long run if it ended up being proven that the 2024 election was stolen?
I’d say no. Regardless of it being stolen or not, the amount of damage done with no (read: few?) checks and balances does not present the US as a democracy at all.
It should have been impossible, but he and his team have found and abused every single legal loophole there is and it does not seem like the majority of politicians are interested in fixing them.
It’s not trust inspiring when one person can write a presedential order overuling a literal constitunional amendment.
I don’t hate Americans. Most are great people, but I do hate their rotten to the core political system.
Not the person you responded to, but no.
As long as the US does not fix it’s broken two party system and reconciles it’s divided society it cannot be trusted.
