How did it come to this... US being hated by Allies after decades of solid alliances built?

The USA has always been a divided nation from day one. Currently the White Fascist hate mongers and the Oligarch 1% have seized power and installed a mentally ill career criminal with the IQ and personality of a child as the Chief Executive and a corrupt Supreme Court has made that asshole immune to our laws. So you have the worst possible person in power with zero checks and balances on his stupidity and bad impulses. It really is that simple. Now the world sees just how weak, undependable, and corrupt this schizophrenic nation really is.

I'm almost grateful to our Reich Wing Fascists for choosing such an incompetent dictator to lead this attempted overthrow of the US government. It has been revealing of just what the USA actually is. No more ignoring the truth. We are a society in decline.

Trump threatens and insults every ally the US had and now when he needs them, the US discovers they are no longer allies. This week he's gone from begging former allies to join the US and Israel, then the next day he says he doesn't need them and today he's calling NATO countries cowards. If you want friends, don't act like a dick. If the US can't get other nations to follow them it's a sure sign they are losing their place in the world as a leader.

Money talks.

Lobbyists control the government and the government gives those that do lobbyist efforts in millions to billions of dollars of capital to push the needle towards oligarch needs and interests met.

Education Industrial Complex, Military Industrial Complex, Big Tech, Big Pharma, and others grapple hold on America’s system of governance isn’t too popular so, they make the American people think they have a choice and decide what topics of interest get pushed onto the voting public through media coverage (owned by corporations and media empires).

The Two Party System is as follows, Democrats are secretly Republicans and Republicans are secretly working for the Capitalism because it is the mechanism that sustains the rich while stomping on the poor. Both sides hide it in Logic and Facts (Democrats) and Faith, Traditional Values, Bible, Jesus (Republicans).

What would Big Business want? To keep American jobs overseas or south of the border because A) There won’t be UNIONS to bust B) There is efficiency C) It is cost effective that way D) It is low quality compared to years prior, but people buy it anyway so no incentive to invest in making American quality that consumers were used to decades ago. E) Tax haven probably
The world is moving to China over the US by design.

Democrats and Republicans will sell you the lie they want American made here, however the only thing American made under both Administrations are data centers that drive our utilities costs up with wasting our water and our electricity.

The US is like that one little sh*t in the class that gets everyone else in to trouble if they interact with them. Trump certainly hasn’t helped but he’s not 100% to blame. The US has caused issues for a long time.

the us was always hated by their allies. they aren't allies cause they love america to begin with. they are allies cause it benefits them or because "Not being allies" massively disadvantages them. it's almost like saying "how did it come to shop owners hating the mafia?". they never loved the mafia. they gotta pay protecton money just not to get fucked. it's not out of love. it's about not being able to afford to be on your own.

If you spend hours making a great brother, and someone drops a turd into it, even if you get it out, nobody will eat that broth. Trump is that turd.

Broth not brother. Fucking phone

It's a sad time for America in not wanting to be wholesome as under Clinton and Obama

I know you're trying to be funny, but our Allies weren't making remarks when Obama, Clinton or Obama were leading. We are a laughing stock! It's pathetic!
