Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem.
For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.

Many, many foreign country has a specific reason to dislikesTrump - less handouts and ceding of US authority and power.to them. But not everyone is a moocher.

Respect is what we seek in a US President.
....with disdain as well. They also mock you behind your back. One difference between you an me is that I don’t need group approval. It is not necessary, and it’s price is too high. I also don’t have the same need to feel smug as you do.

Formula based on Gross National Income. Most of the members (other than Poland Britain, and 2 others that I can’t recall atm, have not kept their word on this agreement.
This is boring. You also insulted me for saying that Barney Franks 90’s legislation to loosen bank loan regulations did not lead to the 2008 US financial crisis, yet you were wrong there too. I don’t know who you read in this regard, but I watched that happen at the time while you read about it from partisan sources later.
I am correct about the NATO dues here as well regardless of whether you want to parse words on definitions.

And once you take out what we spend in the Pacific, the United States does not put 2% of its GDP toward NATO either.
Greece does...because the economy of Greece collapsed, and its GDP shrank.
It’s an idiotic, astrategic measure.

But you know that and thought you would score points. Can you tell me when Germany paid their obligation? Remember that country we built under the Marshall plan which we were paid back with trade deficits. Can’t you at least tell the truth once in a while.

I would never even think that I would be embarrassed to be an American overseas. You should join your kind. All the Japanese and Chinese I have worked with want to live here. And I guess all the Hispanics. You’re pathetic.
....they already made up their mind. It takes a real dick to do that anywhere, and these liberal fools think that they are going to get Euro socialists respect if they just conform to what they want.
Of course, to liberals, ALL Euros think alike as well. It never occurs to them that the fact that they travel through Europe using every opportunity to show that they didn’t vote for Trump is going to naturally select out the like-minded to make comments to them.
And then again, CNN Europe is even worse than the US version, and it literally has a monopoly on all US news coverage over there.
Europeans don't have a chance to know the truth about America.
And they correctly mock Trump supporters as either hayseed rubes or assholes.
I'd agree most are fairly knowledgeable about US politics but they don't mock Trump supporters, they mock Trump.

...they are mostly fucking socialist like you. Who cares what the Frogs think?
Moochers gonna mooch.
PS - you will never gain their true respect because at the end of the day, they are smug liberals who think themselves better regardless. It’s really sad watching you guys chase your impossible dream with losers who shower once a week.
