#1 In short:

The US should do all the work, expect none of the rewards and then apologize for being so overbearing.

Also, if there are nationalist governments being elected, and which are supported by Trump, then it follows there may be more support for "Trumpism" than these ambassadors are willing to acknowledge.

Who are these ambassadors, anyway?

Political hacks, as some are in the US?

Or overcredentialed technocrats who actually think that their sort should be ones to make all the decisions, never mind all this silly "democracy" nonsense?

#2 Per the above analysis, look at where we clash:

1. tariffs and trade deficits (for us)
2. defense spending
3. U.S. withdrawal from the climate deal
4. U.S. withdrawal from the Iran deal

Also:
- sanctions against Cuba and Iran
- relocation of the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem
- Israel and the Palestinians
- the president’s preference for linking trade and national security issues, as he has done by threatening to hit the EU with tariffs on cars unless it shifts its policy on Iran.

IOW, nearly all of the concern is that Trump ended the asinine (but immensely lucrative for corrupt firms and individuals) Iran deal, is pro-Israel, and demands fair dealing in trade and defense spending. Boo hoo.
