Europe outright rejected US President Donald Trump's vision of the world this week. Tensions between these historic democratic allies that have been simmering since Trump came to office three years ago have now come to a boil during the coronavirus pandemic.
Covid-19 has shocked the world by the speed of its spread, but it is also accelerating another global change in the balance of power -- and not in America's favor.
The extent of the divide became clear on Tuesday during a vote at the World Health Organization annual assembly in Geneva, Switzerland, backing Europe's conciliatory approach to China relating to an investigation into the outbreak. Power had visibly ebbed away from the United States as its demand for a tougher approach was dismissed, a move that should sound alarm bells in Washington.

(40,209 posts)He is ignorant of history, he is poorly read, and he has no understanding of the American system of government. He is an ignorant maniacal narcissist who came to the presidency believing that the world is Trump, inc. He thought he could run the country the way he ran Trump, inc. It is all he does know. Now the world can see the reasons for all the failed businesses, the multiple bankruptcies, the failed marriages, the degenerate behavior, and the decision making process based in weakness and insecurity. It is who he is. The world sees it and has nothing but disrespect and loathing for him.
