Four out of five Canadians say they have no confidence in the U.S. under President Donald Trump’s leadership, with existing tensions expected to be exacerbated by latest tariffs
How can there be there earning back respect? The US is a two party system, so even if there’s a good president a few years later the next bozo comes around drives things back to shit again.
Trump has managed to terminally damage transatlantic relationships, this will result in a new world order in the long run. Over here in the EU thinking about sovereignty is suddenly a thing, getting independent of others.
There can be trade with the US in the future, but no trust anymore. Interestingly the long term view is viewing the US a lot like China, someone whom you cooperate with economically but do not trust on a political level.
Of course a less shitty period in governance would ease things a bit over, but there’s no way the next guy like Trump will grab power in 10 years or so. The American political system is built in a way that it just flip-flops between the big parties. IMO the population and elections are just a minor side function of this.
As fucked up as out system is over here, I’m fucking happy we have a parliament and not “winner takes it all”. At least it feels a bit like voters have a bit of influence.
Major political reform, modelled after the more functional parts of the world. Emphasis on a rewrite of the Constitution with protections built in against domestic enemies like Trump. And functional checks and balances. And cultural denazification.
