“America is Going Down” – Trump has Damaged the US’s Reputation “More than all of his Predecessors Combined” Chinese Colonel Says
Just two months into the Trump 2.0 Presidency, the United States has apparently become the laughingstock of the world, especially after the comedy show broadcast live from the White House to the whole world on Friday with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. This past week Trump has done something no other sitting U.S. President has ever done before him, and that was to basically declare war on Western Europe and NATO, while strengthening relations with Russia, considered an "enemy" of the United States and Western Europe since the end of World War II. The Zelensky show at the White House Friday, whether intentional or not, has unified Western Europe against the U.S., and has potentially strengthened Zelensky's position against Russia, just the opposite of what the Trump administration wanted. After being kicked out of the White House by Trump on Friday, he was welcomed with open arms in London by European heads of state who hastily came together in unity to support Zelensky. They apparently were fine with his wardrobe as well. But Europe was not the only place where these theatrics at the White House on Friday were watched . Zhou Bo, a retired senior colonel from China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA), stated that Trump was damaging the US’s reputation “more than all of his predecessors combined”.
