This is a brilliant visual representation of the current situation - I cannot tell if the driver is (irrationally) blaming Trump for getting stuck, or whether he correctly identifies the problem as being chained to American big tech. I struggle to make the same distinction when looking at Brussels. @royaards

I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.For sure, and that's of course what you should be focusing on. It's uplifting to see Minneapolis taking a stance—clearly you're not alone.
I think the Danish/European sentiment @randahl points to is however that something fundamental has been broken between the US and Europe, and for the first time Trump has done enough damage that it will not just return to normal once America gets rid of trumpism. We are not only fed up with Trump and his regime, but with the whole American hegemony.

I don't know if Americans realize what happened between the US and Denmark.It's bigger than that. America has turned its ugly side towards Europe, and we cannot help but see it. You could compare America to Harvey Weinstein—harassing everyone for decades, but while we have been disgusted in private we kept diplomatic ties because of power relations. Well, now that it became targeted at us the facade is broken, we cannot pretend not to see it any more, and we are embarassed to ever have been associated. It goes deeper than your current leadership.
