It is more than just Trump. The US is a democracy and thus any government is a result of the will of the people. Europe doesn't trust Trump yes, but neither the population of the US who voted him to office.
31% voted for him
30% voted for Harris
The rest didn't vote or voted for something else. More people didn't actually vote for him than those who did.
USA is not a democracy. For a democracy peoples votes count, not the electoral votes. Did you know a person can become president with only 27% of the votes?

The problem is their system
The American people are waking up and it will be their fight. In the meantime Europe has their OWN issues. This is not the time to bicker over silly things.
