    It is pretty common that the US especially with Republican presidents is not seen as trustworthy in Germany, but 15% is really low. Especially given that the AfD is above 25% in polls and they are basically the Trumpists of Germany.

      I think it is qualitatively the same in Sweden. People dislike Trump but vote for the same politics. It seems like some coping mechanism, where they try and distance themselves from Trump, because even to European racists he is disgusting, and that makes them think it is ok to keep voting for it.
