We're becoming a pariah among all our former allies. Trump has destroyed all our relationships. He's not presidenting at all. He's just buddying up to our enemies, playing war without knowing how, a & tearing up DC as if it all belongs to him. Meanwhile, Americans are struggling. He doesn't care.

The damage done by Trump will take decades, if ever, to repair. The rest of the world, our allies, are realizing they can do just fine without such close ties to America. Trade and diplomacy will never go back to what they were pre-Trump.

We can put the most progressive administration in office and it won’t fix the damage done. Not anytime soon. Remember, it’s not just Trump. It’s the entire GOP sitting back and doing nothing while he destroys all norms. Our allies had a wake up call, and won’t be willing to trust us for a long time.

Yes never! The USA will never regain the soft power and influence it had over Europe for several decades. Europe has learned the hard way that USA can't be trusted. This isn't 'just' Trump. It's the entire US political system backed up by over 70 million voters.

Being a US ally has become too hazardous. As some EU politicians put it: we cannot rely on a handful of voters in Wisconsin every four year to decide our own national economic or military safety.

The best we can hope for is to re-emerge in time as a member of the group of democratic nations that have aligned themselves against autocracies like us. More likely the prop 2025 autocratic takeover will be completed shortly. Most of us are still too comfortable to really resist.

As Trump takes the US farther and farther away from our friends and allies, the EU opens it's arms to Canada and Ukraine. Trump has no idea the damage he's done to our world standing. We are no longer the gold standard - we are a second rate ***thole country.

Our former allies will be just fine moving away from Trump, as our world standing and influence is stained forever thanks to our delusional president, who cannot grasp that no one needs him anymore. No amount of Truth Social posts can change the fact that he is becoming irrelevant.

🇨🇦🇪🇺 tRump: 🇺🇸 First. Europe: 🇨🇦 come sit with us. While 🍊💩 is busy torching America’s relationships, Ursula von der Leyen wants Canada as the EU’s 1st "associate member"—w/deeper economic, security, energy & tech ties. Turns out burning bridges isn’t a foreign-policy strategy. It’s just arson. 🔥🍁🇪🇺😏🇨🇦

And our allies move forward and see America in the rear view window. Happy for Canada, and infuriated with the republicans for allowing this regime to decimate this country.

Canada to Trump... “Take off, ya hosehead” “Hosehead” is Canadian slang for an idiot, fool, or dumbass. “Take off, ya hosehead” basically means “Get lost, you idiot,” but in a jokingly Canadian way.

It isn't just the orange feeling. It's also all the people who voted him him and continue to support the deterioration of human rights and democracy in your country. Concentration camps, your elected officials open bigotry, and completely denying women access to basic healthcare is Nazi shit.

I do think this might provide a moderately good deterrent to another swell of fascism in Canada; not absolute but beneficial. The US should never get this treatment for the next 50 yrs at least because we’re deep in fascism atm and it will take a long long time to root it out.

If only the British Government had the balls to #RejoinEU Because that is what the British people really want. Brexshit must end - it should never have happened.

And the UK, who were in the EU, decided they wanted to return to Rule Brittania & now look where they are: no where. Thanks to Boris Johnson & Nigel Farage - 2 'upper class twits' whose personal ambition was greater than their consciences.

You are only as strong as your weakest link and our, the United States, weakest link is Trump & Republicans, so basically we’re doomed. The rest of the free world moves on without us.

The Canadian banker, aka PM, works smoothly as we wait at home to find what he pronounces abroad. I always thought it should be the other way round, speaking to your citizens first!

This is also to protect itself from Americans when & if they elect another trump, too much money in American politics and not enough people going into politics for the right reasons to make a difference for the people

Well, Trump certainly fulfilled his promise of creating alliances - just between other countries in the world and not with us. Trump is the hoax. Almost every pledge that he made while running for president has backfired spectacularly. And mostly in others' favor.

The world watched us elect the cocksucker trump not once, but twice. The civilized first world can no longer trust America or Americans as rational and trustworthy partners moving forward. The damage trump has done in 1 decade will take 3 to correct.

This will be very helpful for Canada in terms of weathering the economic attacks from the US, and will also hopefully give us some security guarantees to deter any potential US military incursions. Trump may think that he could just annex us, but that will be a lot harder if Europe has our back.

Even so, I dont think you'd have needed Europe's help. Already, our service member are over Trump and Kegsbreath. I just wich they would coup them on behalf of the (US) American people

I'm so very happy for Canada! And trumb's usa is getting exactly what we deserve. Unfortunately, trumb has ruined us for a century. The only countries that will be our friend will be those run by dictators and even those will just be acting. 💪🏽⬆️ 🇨🇦 #trumpepsteinfiles #removetheregime

it’s a shame Starmer and now perhaps Burnham aren’t up for the earache from Reform to do this. I hope you can rejoin or have some sort of productive relationship with the rest of Europe soon.

I’m not optimistic in the short term about rejoining Europe but when my generation is dead and gone, I think the young people will join with enthusiasm. We have screwed up the world and left a mess for them to clear up.

I am beginning to think Canada and Ukraine have the cards. The 🍊 turd watching the US go further into overdraft as he fucks up everything he touches. Just top it off by releasing the Epstein files.

These are epic moves. While orange bastard wrecks our economy and invades weaker countries to pirate their resources for his mob. While Americans cry out for help. Out of patience I am. Time to occupy DC and not leave until he does.

Canada would be a huge *win* for the credibility of EU's nuclear deterrent, on top of France, not just because they deeply understand nuclear science, but because they would add a whole second continent geographically. They also have front row on Arctic as it opens. Great get by EU.

I happened to listen to German (English) news when I was up (too) early this morning here in Australia......... they were talking about Canada becoming an 'associate member' of the EU. They referred to the USA as a 'HOSTILE COUNTRY UNDER TRUMP'. This is how the rest of the world sees the USA now.

Long live Canada. Long live the EU. Here lies the future superpower that will replace the USA—which effectively died on November 5, 2024. Europe is making Canada its most privileged associate member. Canada brings to the EU what the deep state refuses to provide, and what the EU lacks but needs.

As the US becomes isolated from our allies and trading partners they continue to move ahead without us. How long will it be before China sees the benefits? Their cars are already infiltrating Europe. And Europe itself is forming new alliances between countries and now Canada. This doesn't end well.
