americans are awful at protesting. they show up, cant figure out where to park, have no organizations, have lame chants (e.g. hey hey, ho ho, donald trump has go to go), present the same meaningless meme protest posters, leave tons of trash behind, and it last a few hours. Nothing is sustained for multiple days or weeks, and the solidarity is with people who already were with you.
Depends where. Some of the world loves America
Americans and most of the world don't care what's happening in Israel. As a yank living abroad and often traveling for work (conferences, support, sales) It's typically viewed as an extension of a 30 year conflict, extended on an 80 year conflict, extended on a 1500 year old conflict. In otherwords, it's "passe." it's boring because it's the norm. it's unfortunate.
I despise him, but 1 of 2 good things I think he did was call out NATO nations for not contributing their fair share. Merkel's face when he said this was like that of a dog that's been caught getting into the cupboard.
(the other thing he did was to call out drug companies for making medications so expensive. of course he didn't followup, but that was a good thing to say)
Based on an overwhelming amount of economic studies of tariffs in the last 100 years, the EU should ignore it. Why enact tariffs on American goods and make life more expensive for Europeans? Studies show EU businesses will raise prices accordingly. The citizens will be worse off.
However, based on our knowledge of how politicians act, they'll take the bait and retaliate, thus making things more expensive for EU citizens.
