If we hadn't already bought the air tickets, we'd probably cancel this years' vacation. Not so much for the declining dollar (though that hurts), but because Europeans have their own version of MAGA ("Make America Go Away"). This country is cultivating a strong anti-American sentiment. While unlikely, I would rather not be on the receiving end of that sentiment. Ironically, one of our planned stops is Greenland.
Last trip, I got into a discussion with a Scotsman business owner. 1poorlady was browsing, and he wasn't busy. He was very puzzled why the US went for the Felon. We had a civil discussion, and I tried to answer as accurately as possible (as little partisanship as I could). It's worse now. Hopefully, if it ever comes up, they'll give us the benefit of the doubt at least long enough to say "we didn't vote for him, and don't agree with his policies".
So far in our travels we have never encountered foreign "rednecks" who chant "EU...EU...EU". Not literally, but you get the allusion.
