Last night, PBS NewsHour’s Yamiche Alcindor revealed to Nicolle Wallace that “experts” have told her that “it might take several election cycles” to heal the “deep scars” left by Donald Trump on our European allies.

But why is it so crucial that Joe Biden heal those scars? Because, as Nicolle Wallace pointed out right before that, we as Americans really care what the world thinks about us:

Is that so?
I guess if America is an insecure 9 year old… then maybe. https://t.co/tkJI8sJ2qx

Hmmmm, I could care less if people like us. I’d much prefer they respected us. https://t.co/PPUqzfdB4u

Insecure people need people to like them.

CZ Wrong. Needy, insecure people need to be liked. And especially weird is this sensibility that America needs to be liked by Europe. That's like the owner of a powerful and spectacular company needing to be liked by a twittish former employer. Who cares what he thinks? https://t.co/hLmbamfOW0

Nicolle Wallace certainly seems to think we care what she thinks.
How do these people akways think they’re speaking for all 320+million Americans?
