For me, as a European, Trump genuinely isn't a whole lot worse than the previous American presidents. Pretty much all of them were war criminals who actively worked to make Europe weak and divided.
If anything, with Trump we're getting closer to a federal Europe than ever before. I'm not necessarily saying I want a federal Europe. Regardless of that, USA worked tirelessly for decades to make sure it's not formed. That's one good argument in favor.
Just in case, this isn't meant to portray the current US president in any positive light. I highly doubt that's even possible.
You're not wrong. Trump has absolutely committed treason but so did Nixon and Kissinger, in very much the same way. Not to mention the war crimes from Reagan, Bush Sr, Clinton and W. Trump has absolutely raped a minor but he's not the first president to have done so in our lifetimes. Rounding up immigrants and Brown American citizens and sending them to whoever will take them isn't new either. That's been happening since the 1930s.
Trump is only unique in how brazen and open he is about it, and how many crimes he's willing to commit at once.
For anyone outside the US, there's barely any difference between Trump and your average US president. The only difference is that he says the quiet part loud sometimes.
Such a tiny difference /s
Well y'all can have him. Right now that pedophile is putting hard working people out of work and letting the poorest among us miss meals all while he rounds up people with darker skin than him to make them disappear. I'm really much more concerned with the evil he is doing here at home than the federalization of Europe. Plank in your own eye and all that.
Same as a Canadian, he just embodies our view of Americans.
Indeed, I fully support the EU, I hope the UK will return and more countries that qualify enter the union. The USA views the EU as competition and they know we are a threat to their empire.
