Please do so before he sets the globe on fire
American doing the resisting, I disagree. Americans chose this, knowing how awful he is. America gets temporary blips of sanity before electing another maniac. If we shake Trump, the world will get a few years of America being responsible, but our dark side will come out within 8 years at the most.
Our allies should work to permanently disentangle with us. We are a liability.
Nope, not true. Roughly half of our country voted for this. More than half of our Congress/Senate/SCOTUS/Governors approve and worship him. Definitely more than half of the military and CIA/FBI/NSA worship him. All the Epstein class billionaires gargle his balls.
We as a country have lost our right to be trusted until those leading this are in jail and the history books accurately describe what happened. Our former allies need to protect themselves before this cancer infects them too.
Nobody is confused, he does represent you. All your apathetic citizens, all your Republican MAGA voters and all your billionaires. And some of you, I assume, are good people.
The usual.. it’s not the Russian people, its the government doesn’t apply here. America has a free vote. We voted for this twice.
No disrespect, but are you really? Because mostly, I see apathy
Why are we pretending like American exceptionalism wasn’t a thing before trump? He’s just acting on values that many Americans believe in. He’s just taking it to its most honest expression.
As a Canadian, look at the softwood lumber dispute between Canada and the US and how many times independent bodies have ruled the Americans to be wrong, but they keep bullying their actions forward anyways.
I feel for liberal Americans, that you’re now living under a government that has removed all of the soft blankets covering your government’s often terrible behaviour. But don’t pretend y’all were perfect before trump.
It’s not enough. Everyone who voted for him or didn’t vote at all is complicit.
If you get into an argument with your husband while he’s drunk, he comes to you the next morning and deeply apologizes, enrolls in AA, promises to never touch a drink again and starts seeing a therapist…. maybe you can forgive him after a time if you see all the work he’s putting into himself because he loves you. Maybe you even come to believe it’ll never happen again. You eventually might believe him when he says that’s not who he is.
But then what if he does it again 4 months later? How can you believe that’s not who he is now?
If only there was a way to figure out what Americans actually think. We could set aside a day where we all give our opinion on who should be in charge.
Oh, we did that in 2016 and elected Trump? Oh, we did it again in 2024 and elected Trump?
This is what Americans wanted, and they have repeated it over and over.
You let it happen once and we gave you the benefit of the doubt. Then you went and did it again. It’s who you are as a country and the trust is simply gone. Get your affairs in order and we can talk.
Sorry Americans but no, you don’t get a pass on this. Trump it a symptom of American society, and you guys are responsible for that.
Do something about it.
I sympathise but you need to sort this shit out
No we are not trying our best. Trying our best would have Republican support. There isn’t any
This ain’t 2017. We no longer get to claim to be innocently duped. We no longer get to say, well he lost the popular vote. We chose this. We chose this hard. And allies will be right to not trust the American voter again for a long, long time.
Nope. Much like respect, which is earned and not given, so is trust. I can’t speak for everyone; but everyone I know has completely lost trust in the USA. You fucked up in 2016 by electing him when you knew who he was; but then to compound things you voted him into a second time in 2024. You elected him despite all the criminal proceedings against him, his lying, his incompetence, his inability to understand how the world works, after he incited a riot, told his VP to ignore the electoral college, after all this, you still voted him in a second time.
It’ll be a cold day in hell before I trust the USA again, let alone step foot in it. I avoid buying anything that comes from there if I can. Sometimes it costs me a few dollars more; but better the money go to somewhere that doesn’t threaten its allies, impose tariffs on nations because he’s having a bad morning.
Trust in the USA is a ship that has sailed and I don’t see it coming to port for a very long time.
If you can’t contain him, why should we be “allies”? I can be friends with people from every region, but allies are between states against other states. So what for and against who?
If you are talking only about the government, I’d rather want allies against the USA.
If you are talking only about the people, independent of any geostrategies…I’d still rather be allies with the Chinese people, sorry. But I’d be happy to ignore Americans, if you make it possible to ignore you. Do your “resist against tyranny” thing, instead of whining online.
Oh no no no, he IS us. The vast majority of this country, between the Trump voters, the 3rd party voters, and the non-voters said, AT BEST, that they were perfectly fine with another Trump presidency. Not only that, but we ALL were told exactly what he was gonna do — by Donald Trump himself, on the campaign trail, and within his Project 2025 — and we said, again AT BEST, that we were perfectly fine with every headline we are reading. So, kindly, we deserve an albino woman astride a dragon…again, AT BEST.
Elections have consequences.
After this run, no country will ever trust America the same way again. The damage is irreparable.
He’s your president. I need less apologies and more overthrowing the government to fix this shit, please.
Nah, he absolutely does represent us. He won twice, and only arguably lost in 2020 because of Covid. He’s representing a large amount of Americans and you can argue that he only won off of apathy of opposed voters, but in their apathy they have ceded their voice, and the Americans who spoke said Trump’s name.
This is our bed as a nation and we don’t get to just pass the buck and pretend there aren’t and shouldn’t be consequences for our nation. It’s not the world I want, but it’s the one we have.
These mewling apologies are just begging the rest of the world to trust us to not fuck up again and maintain the US’s dominance for us and pretend everything is normal again, and that worked when Trump could be a one term fluke, but not a two term one. Americans wanted what he was selling, and even if they got duped, they still picked it. The rest of the world should never count on us to maintain the rules based status quo because it’s clear we can’t be good stewards of it anymore, because the people who voted for this will keep voting for it until they are dead.
Try more
Not enough of you are resisting though. 35% is a hell of a lot of stupid people to deal with and is too risky to expect things to change.
And it isn’t just Trump, your whole system is broken. All the way from political primaries, to congress and even the SCOTUS. Not to mention the money in your politics and the oligarchy.
“Trying our best” lol this ain’t our best, stop it
American here…
Yeah this isn’t going to work. 2016 could be a mistake. The UK did Brexit, we weren’t alone.
2024 was a fucking doubling down.
We own it. We own all of it.
Trump is a symptom.
Just as I thought – Americans will just shift all blame on the old geezer and proceed like nothing happened and they didn’t participate in this.
Patience is running thin
America elected him for a *second* term
as a very slightly better president once said
*”Fool me once, shame on… shame on you. Fool me—you can’t get fooled again!”*
Maybe your problems extend beyond just Trump…
you have a supreme court that decided a president has presumptive immunity in all official acts
and a congress too cowardly to undo Trumps tariffs or his war in Iran.
Nah. This is who we are. We showed you. Believe it.
The problem is that things aren’t just “going to go back to how they were” once this sack of shit croaks/is removed from office.
The damage done is going to take decades to undo, and regain other nations’ trust.
The allies of America are going to rightfully judge us by the 40% of the population that allowed this garbage pile to occupy positions of power. It happened in 2016 and again in 2024. They will never trust us again and I don’t blame them one bit.
Yeah… turns out alot of people in gov right now like diddlin kids.
I mean no we really aren’t. This is exactly what half the country asks for. Even the ones vehemently against the war simply switched their views when told so. We’re a lost country that went back to the well after we knew what it was.
This is the wrong take. We have collective responsibility for this and until it’s fixed it’s pointless to try to argue you’re one of the good ones.
I feel bad for the people who didn’t vote for this, but fuck America for letting this happen despite the grave warnings.
Fuck everyone who voted for him and fuck those who didn’t bother to vote. He would be in prison today instead of pillaging tax payer money if it wasn’t for these people.
> It’s important that you, the citizens of other democracies, know that the vast majority of us – the people of the United States – are embarrassed and offended by the oaf who now occupies the highest office in the United States.
I’m sorry, but no. That majority is nowhere near as vast as it should be. He won the popular vote in the last election, and his approval rating is still hovering between 35 and 40 percent. If he were proven to be a child rapist on the same day that he starts world war 3, probably a minimum of one-third of Americans would still be fully on-board.
When this long nightmare is over, America will have a lot of soul-searching to do, and some serious structural reforms to make to its government, its media, and its education system, before they (or rather, the America of their children or grandchildren) can ever be trusted again as an ally.
You can’t write this when he has a floor of 30% approval and a whole lot more will happily vote R in the next election anyway for candidates that might very well be worse than he is.
What is “trying our best?”. Most people are doing basically nothing.
I love Robert, but the USA has something like 240+ million citizens of *voting age*. Yet the largest protest against Trump was around 7 million people. Meanwhile, 75 millions voted for Kamala. How can they be convinced to show up in bigger numbers?
This isn’t Americans doing their best to resist him. They can dig deeper and do more.
“Our best” would be making sure this never happened in the first place. How can an ally trust someone who changes their mind every 4 years or so, and has a system that lets this rise to power? We are all to blame. Don’t beg for forgiveness or grace until the threat is stopped and there’s guarantees this can never happen again.
51% of eligible American voters couldn’t be bothered to even vote for or against him, so I think our allies are welcome to make whatever judgements they deem necessary.
I don’t belive you. I am tired of abusive relationships.
I get the sentiment, but at the same time I wholeheartedly support anyone and everyone shaming Americans for the actions of our government.
For those like me who work to try to fix things, it’s almost comforting knowing that the world agrees with our actions to resist and oppose this administration.
If anything, it’s going to mostly affect the MAGA Americans who can’t handle being mocked and are fragile about their ego built on a false patriotism.
I KNOW the US sucks but has potential to be something amazing, and acknowledging that allows me to really dive in and address things. It’s people who live in their fictional bubble that need the wake up.
I’m American and I cannot stand these “oh don’t blame us the people” kind of posts.
Gang, I didn’t vote for him, I am progressive from a progressive state. I hate to break it to my fellow Americans, whether you like Trump or not he and his cronies and his voters represent us. We do not get to decide how the world views us.
He has started a war, he has kidnapped a sovereign country’s president, he has enabled ICE to kidnap immigrants and citizens alike.
Stop asking the world not to judge us and go do something. Vote local for the right people, vote state for the right people, protest, exercise your rights while you have them.
We cannot keep begging the world especially those who are directly affected by our country’s decisions to not judge us. I think a lot of people can discern that the average citizen ≠ Trump, but it’s a lot harder to feel empathy for the average American when we got him in power TWICE.
And when I say we got him in power I mean it, you might not have voted for him, but our policy makers, laws, and media played a huge part in his wins.
Seriously can we stop whining and begging and start doing something? It’s never the whiners I see out protesting or tracking ICE.
OP, I’m afraid that simply won’t matter to the rest of the world. We can disavow him as much as we like, but the harsh reality is that he is in fact president and unless and until something is done about it, other nations have a duty and a right to protect themselves from this madman. Hopefully the midterms are a turning point one way or another.
But we already know that he’s just a symptom of a far bigger problem. You need to get money out of your politics. You need to keep billionaires away from your media. I know its an impossible ask, but those are the things you should fight for or there will just be another Trump, and another, and another.
