The Guardian is saying it out loud: Trump has destroyed the USA's international reputation. One of several blunt quotes:
"Erratic behaviour, tolerated in the past, is now seen as downright
dangerous. It’s long been plain, at least to many in Europe, that Trump
could not be trusted. Now he is seen as a threat. It is not just about
failed leadership. It’s about openly hostile, reckless actions."
Before Trump was elected, I pointed to uncomfortable parallels between him and several well-known (mostly dead) dictators. Comments claimed I was being disrespectful. Fact is, I was saying less than I thought at the time.
