It is a stronger rage than you allude to. The world is smoldering in a rage at American hubris exemplified by Trump and his sycophants. One cannot literally insult and attack the entire world on the declining phase of having been the most dominant visible global power for several generations and then leverage this hatred away as a negotiating tactic. The world outside any nation is a vast non-homogenous place one can hardly generalize about, yet there is a palpable frustration the world over with cantankerous American obstructionism and hubris, as exemplified by Trump. We never once said thank you to the nations we dragged over into Afghanistan, or sorry for imperialisticly and illegally invading Iraq, and now we have a president who not only takes this all for granted, but expects the entire world to kiss his feet like imperial subjects. Absolutely no human, let alone nations full of them, will thank you for humiliation and attempting to grind them into the dust. This is not a negotiation tactic you can walk back. The world is most certainly not taking advantage of a naive USA. Most of the world alleges the opposite FWIW
