Yep, like one of them said trust will be hard to restore.

That Trump is a diva addicted to having a tantrum we knew it, that's no surprise and I could not care less him being... who he is. But to realize how simple and effort-less it was for him to break existing deals, engagements and decades long alliances while also humiliating Zelensky in the oval office, on TV, without anyone, no one of the other US political powers supposed to prevent abuse of power even protest? And then hear Trump tell all of us we could go fuck ourselves if we did not agree to pay him whatever amount of money he considered fair, like some gangster trying to racket shop owners on the block, in exchange for his 'protection'? That's the real issue. At least, it's for me.

I trusted such an absurd thing would not be possible in the USA, not as easily and not as abruptly. I was completely wrong.

Trust won't be easy to get back.
