Anne Apple Baum: “In just a few minutes, the actions of Donald Trump and JD Vance have created new stereotypes for the United States. What kind of fantasy Europeans have about Americans, the remaining images in old American films, good people win, bad guys lose, and honor defeats betrayal. There are memories of smiling GIS, which is a European city in 1945, with a speech made by John F. Kennedy and Ronald Reagan on the Berlin wall, or a speech to the crowds that welcomed Barack Obama. ”
“Separately from politics, Trump and Vance are rude. They are cruel. They bothered and abused guests on the camera, and ugly actions boasted about him as if they had achieved a victory. ”
“This is not a good person in the old Hollywood movie, but the behavior of bad people. If Reagan is a white cowboy, Trump and Vance are mafia money. The chorus, where the Republican political leaders defend them, are ominous and surprising for Europeans. ”
