The events of the past week in America have had reverberations around the world. For years, part of the daily work of the US state department was to issue denunciations of police brutality, suppression of dissent, and instability in far-flung corners of the globe.
In recent days it has been the other way round. Friendly nations have expressed concern, less friendly governments have revelled in Washington’s discomfort.
... Among those most delighted about the scenes being played out in US cities are governments with the worst human rights records, which have been the most criticised over the decades by the US.
China’s communist leadership, which has incarcerated more than a million of the country’s Muslims and brutally suppressed protests in Hong Kong, has portrayed the protests and Trump’s response as symptoms of a deep malaise.
“Trump is himself the problem. Beneath the surface, Trump is a white supremacist,” wrote Sun Xingjie, deputy director of the Institute of International Relations at Jilin University, in an editorWriting in the Spanish daily El País, Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser, a political scientist at Chile’s Diego Portales university and co-author of Populism, a Very Short Introduction, saw ill omens in the news from US cities, where the nationwide protests have overlapped with the crippling effects of the coronavirus outbreak.
Trump has turned his ugly rage away from immigrants and towards Americans themselves. Americans who won't blindly support him. Who won't accept the divisiveness and racism that has only gotten worse over the last three years. Trump's now trying to put fear into his base with ads claiming Biden would bring carnage to the country.
But this is America under Trump and this is how the world now sees America -
He has only himself to blame.

I’ve my own opinions about some of this that I won’t actually share here. However, Trump really did get us locked in with a wall, didn’t he? It’s just not a literal wall.

Where were these federal agents when the people started breaking in?

Yeah, if only the liberal lead states and major cities would stop trying being so damn woke, the rest of us wouldn't look like such jokes.
I couldn't care less what other countries think of us. Who do they go crying to to defend them, who do they want to rebuild their countries after wars, who do they want handouts from? That's right, the good old USA.
We paid to rebuild Europe after WW2, and not one of those countries ever paid us back.
You are absolutely correct!
Canada has a long history of standing with our U.S. neighbours who are often our parents, children, cousins and friends where the border almost doesn't exist. Canada has gone to war with the U.S. in most global campaigns and we continue to stand by the U.S. We do have slightly different foreign policies and currently we both have governments that are at odds with each other, but governments change and policy with them.
The U.S. is a great nation with a great people. This has been seen through history. All Americans should be proud to call themselves Americans. As a Canadian, I am proud to be your neighbour. As far as COVID-19, we will all eventually get through it, one way or another.

The pity feeling hurt but is appropriate. Hundreds of people dying per day and secret police invading cities and President Second Place bragging about not having dementia. It's insane here. I feel sorry for us too.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Countries all over Europe had massive protests in solidarity to our protests and their own problems.
That Trump is an unqualified clown who has set this country back decades is 100% the problem.

Im sure you could find some radical right wing site that adores Trump along with Putin and Bolsonaro. I just focused on that “main stream” that the alt right despises so much. It’s more about what the average person thinks.
