I’m not even sure what words to use to describe how I feel about those numbers here in Germany. The only way I can see to get out of this is if Trump and his government quickly(!!) “destroy” the US in a major and visible way.
The still ongoing tariff nonsense is one way, but it is not severe enough and Europeans aren’t connecting the dots between one incompetent populist (Trump) and the populists they have at home.
I’ve been hearing about (soon-to-be, if Trump doesn’t back down) empty ports, which may lead to empty shelves in supermarkets. If this becomes big enough that social media is full of people showing empty local supermarkets and the regular media has no choice in turning this into a big story, we might have a chance.
Not that I have any real hope this is would actually change anything …
