I mean, obviously that was a turn of phrase and endearment. I think their point is that despite the justifiable wariness, and despite that other countries don't owe the US anything, it's simply sad that insane sociopaths were able to destroy relationships they weren't even a part of, between the sane people the US and other countries.

The US has never been one person and personality, and there are people in every state who have resisted, protested, fought, and never expressed anything but disgust and anger at Trump. Trump burned their bridge to friends in other countries too, without their permission.

I've used this metaphor before, but it's less like the US is an insane monolithic entity - I think we all can agree that's just a meme-able simplification. Rather, many of us woke up and found ourselves involuntarily married to an abusive psychopath. We know he's insane. We don't want this any more than you all and are doing what we can, even if people inevitably pop up and helpfully tell us it's our moral duty to engage in murder so actually it's our fault.

The MO of a narcissistic abuser is to isolate the abused, cut them off from friends, family, support structures. And in some ways, that feels like what is happening. Not your responsibility, world, but at least I wanted to hope we can agree it's sad.
