    The other 27% must not read the news, eh?

    Even if you believe the US is an ally to whatever country you’re from (outside of Russia, of course), he’s proven to be untrustworthy and unreliable.

      The other 27% are fascists too.

      27% hoping the US is just going through a phase

          It still could be a phase, albeit a much longer one than originally hoped for. I’m not convinced that’s the case but I think there’s reason to have at least a sliver of hope that the US will turn the corner and return to something approaching sanity. That’s not to say that the people of France are wrong in their perception though. For the foreseeable future all of Europe should default to assuming we’ll be ambivalent at best when approaching matters that concern them.

            Sure, I agree with you. Although I have to say that personally, I believe the US isn’t coming back from this any time soon, if ever. I say this because in my opinion the causes that led to the (repeated) Trump presidency (e.g. a terrible election system, money in politics, a culture of turning everything into a show, a deeply ingrained skepticism towards knowledge and science in large parts of the population, extremist capitalism etc.) go much deeper than just these past ~10 years. And I see no willingness and/or capability on the side of the opposition to really tackle any of these factors at the root.

              “Name one country where socialism has worked.” The United States, 1955, when corporate wealth tax was 90% and gave birth to a thing called the middle-class where a milkmans salary could afford a house and family.
