I'm sorry to break the news to you, but for a large section of the world population (especially in the global South), the US was the villain for a long time before Trump came along - and I don't mean only in the "evil empire" countries.

Trump only managed to spread this sentiment into the West, where it wasn't dominant so far, and sow doubts among formerly close allies.




Sure but we are talking about economics, and now the list includes our two biggest trading partners. Why he thinks making every day Canadians hate us is good strategy is beyond me.


If the US being a villain to most of the world is a surprising concept to you, I highly suggest you read about the original 9/11 in Chile.
