I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.
No matter whom I listen to, the feeling is the same: Our bilateral relationship is dead.
I grew up in a country filled with gratitude towards The US, because of The Normandy Landings. The US was loved.
The feeling now is anger. Our Kingdom has been threatened twice in 100 years: Hitler's occupation and Trump's attempted annexation of Greenland.
It saddens me, but I sense this will not easily be forgotten.
@randahl somebody should check on David Heinemeier Hansson, did he denounce his Danish citizenship?

I don't know what the future holds (no one does, of course), but it will take a long time and a lot of hard work to repair all the damage that Trump's United States is doing to international relations. Given that it will be possible at all.

@randahl the trouble is most people in America won't know or care & don't have a passport.
They are very insular in and care little for world news.
I don't know if things have changed but their news focus used to be this order;
My local big city
My State
Federal
Quirky world stories@DaRC_Fantom @randahl Yes. When I Iived in the US in the 1980s the news programmes ended with a round-up of international news called "Around the World in 80 Seconds". Very often it included some schmaltzy "human interest" story about a loyal pet.
The levels of geographic ignorance were astounding. Without immigrant brainpower the country would have been in trouble long ago. That will likely change now.

@randahl
The US has squandered its resources on military & financial might, while degrading its education & mental health programs. The result is enough ignorant psychopaths to hijack the cockpit & send us into a tailspin.

@randahl The trust won't even begin to be rebuilt until everyone in the Trump administration is rotting in jail, and laws are passed to prevent this sort of shit to ever pass again.

@randahl Russia delivered Europe and the nazi camps, not the USA. USA wanted to administrate France after the D-Day. De Gaulle took them by surprise re organising the territory into departments. Since, USA lies about WW2. It's time to remember the true history. I'm french and i'm soooo sad to consider it that way.
@jeanpaulpognon @randahl Agreed! USA lies about WW2, and a lot of the population believe the Hollywood stories that the hero’s were all American (which is very far from the truth).

@randahl
People in the UK are also extremely angry about the dismissive, insulting way Mr Trump spoke of our military who served besides the USA after Article 5 was invoked following 9/11, when we lost so many soldiers and huge numbers lost limbs and endured other injuries.
He is a disgrace. -
@randahl And we/they should be. I can only hope with 100% power that the ones who can actually do something against that idiot will actually DO SOMETHING and not suck up to DonOld again when the going gets a bit rougher.
I'm always looking for ways to reach politicians and ask them/urge them to act.
@paulk @randahl I think it's already happening - US' Achilles heel is its enormous debt that has so far not been a problem for the US because other countries were eager to lap up bonds issued by a country they saw as a stable investment, but countries have begun ridding themselves of their US bonds, China, India and Mexico leading the pack.
As bond buyers become fewer and money becomes tight, I suspect the US will be forced to confront the consequences of its adventures (kidnapping heads of state, threatening to annex land) in the rest of the world.

@randahl
The rest of the world is only now learning what #Democrats have known for decades:#Republicans can't be trusted.
@MugsysRapSheet @randahl
Seen from France, Trump is not the problem, he is just the symptom.
Since Biden's election, Democrats are as stupid and toxic, and maybe more, than Republicans ... They are two arms of the same establishment and they work for exactly the same interests.
But we have the same case here too. It's just that, as usual, the American version is oversized... -
> Many many politicians here are eager to implement most of Trump's nazi politics.
Yours too? Damn.
@glitzersachen
Macron came to power bragging about being centre or even centre-left (he was a Minister in Hollande's government, nominally left-leaning). Rapidly went right and took hard right wingers or even fascists as ministers (think Darmanin, Retailleau). -

@notsoloud @martinvermeer @randahl A subtle note. In a Bornholm church yard are gravesites (I can't remember exactly where)There are 9 or so Russians soldiers buried there but not in the churchyard proper, on the other side of the stone fence. The Danes could see intent beyond action.
@tinfoiling @notsoloud @randahl Was it this? It tells a slightly different story.

He is a disgrace.@Fud4thort @randahl || In the same way he treats the Vets in the US. Disdain with a rectialian sneer. Then demands they go up against their own people to show how powerful he thinks he is in his Mafia overcoat. Capt Bone Spurs who was the first to hit the floor when his own supporters called him out.
-
I understand why Europeans are rightfully angry at the United States, and this will be a generational break. I wish more people like you were talking about the advance of Nazism in Europe, though, because the same movement that staged the coup in the United States is at work in Europe.
It's a mistake to focus too much energy on foreign threats, big though it is, because the fascists will use that fear in their own campaign to take over your countries.

@randahl Trump has no idea about the importance of trust. He is pretty good in getting what he wants - kind of like a child throwing a tamper tantrum at the grocery store - but this is all short term. In the long term, trusts broken and it will take a very long time to rebuild. America is losing soft power at unprecedented speeds.

@randahl as an american, i hope that one day, when we get rid of our dictatorship and make sure it can never come back, that we can be of comfortable terms with the free world

@randahl that's a bit overblown. I toured Denmark at least ten times. George W. made everybody I met have contempt for Americans already. People were constantly apologizing for mistaking me for an American once they heard I was from Canada. Which always felt a bit silly. When I suggested that you were an American client state, people got very angry. Most of you already did not love America before this happened. Also, Danes are racist as fuck. As racist as Americans.

@randahl it's a disgrace. My congressman is a veteran. He's fought alongside others in NATO. And the most he could summon in response to my complaint about how Trump and the executive branch are treating our allies is a form letter saying that we're not going to invade Greenland.
-
Yup. It’s going to be a long time I think before Americans really figure out how much damage has been done. Commercial media platforms aren’t gonna talk about it much and not in any useful detail.
Don't give up just yet, according to my very extensive statistics (quick noai.ddg search) he can still push the dollar even lower!
