There's a reason why global leaders, international bureaucrats, and foreign media outlets spend so much time obsessing over American politics — they're absolutely desperate for our attention, and it's driving them insane that we've stopped caring what they think.
Like the brilliant exchange between Ellsworth Toohey and Howard Roark in Ayn Rand's masterpiece "The Fountainhead," the rest of the world keeps demanding to know what America thinks of them. And just like Roark's devastating response, the truth is simple: We don't think of you at all.
This reality has become crystal clear since President Trump returned to the White House. While European leaders frantically issue statements about American policy, and globalist organizations like the World Economic Forum wring their hands over Trump's "America First" agenda, the American people are focused on what actually matters — securing our border, growing our economy, and putting American families first.
The Global Tantrum Continues
Watch how foreign media covers American politics versus how American media covers theirs. The obsession is completely one-sided. German newspapers dedicate front pages to Trump's policies while most Americans couldn't name Germany's chancellor. French politicians pontificate about American "isolationism" while Americans are busy creating jobs and cutting regulations.
"The era of America apologizing for our success and prosperity is over. We're not here to win global popularity contests — we're here to win for the American people," a senior Trump administration official recently noted.
This drives the global elite absolutely crazy because their entire worldview depends on American validation. The United Nations needs us to fund their bloated bureaucracy. European nations need us to subsidize their defense. Multinational corporations need us to play by their rigged trade rules.
But under President Trump's leadership, America has remembered a fundamental truth: We don't need their approval. We never did. Our Constitution wasn't written to impress foreign ministers. Our Bill of Rights wasn't designed to win applause at Davos.
The beautiful irony? The more we ignore their desperate pleas for attention, the stronger and more prosperous America becomes. Maybe it's time the rest of the world learned to solve their own problems instead of expecting Americans to care about their opinions of us.
