Of course... we went from the world's most powerful nation, to the world's most untrustworthy nation. Not to exclude most hated too. Thank God these countries, like Canada, separate our citizens from our government.

The US has made a habit of destabilising democratically elected governments around the world for decades. That this is now stood up to and resisted just shows US power is on the wane.

I was in Germany earlier in the year visiting an American friend who has lived there for years. I thought the Germans would be unkind, maybe even hostile. It's almost worse: they would put their hands on my arm compassionately and ask, "Are you okay?" I said no.

Congratulations to the Brazilian authorities. Most US citizens wish we could have blocked them from coming back and sent the entire administration on an extended trip, blocking all of them from reentry.
