Why are US-European Relationships at their Worst?

Most Americans do not comprehend HOW DEEP the trans-Atlantic rift is. They live in willful ignorance, and the mass media is largely responsible.  The lack of coverage of the extremely important events during the Munich Security Conference 2019 is a prime example. The contrast between the attendees’ reception of Angela Merkel and the rejection of Mike Pence could not have been greater. Some claim that it will get better after the Trump era. They are deeply mistaken.
