I haven't been to Europe since before 2020. I assume we're not nearly as welcome over there now?

We know not to equate the governments' policies with people. Of any country. Don't worry about it.

I'd say as about the same kind of unwelcome as before. Fundementally the US traveller is the same kind of US traveller as before

But then I don't live in eg Portugal where the effect of US immigrants has been felt more strongly

Most Europeans can separate Americans from their government, but a person's views and behavior matter. Paying customers are always welcome but obnoxious ones, regardless of culture, might get an eye roll or worse.

Yeah but that doesn't mean we also don't dislike people from the US. It's a shock to many but there are Europeans who dislike both US politics and the average US citizen who flashes cash, doesn't learn the language, doesn't research where they're travelling, shouts all the times, spends 1 night per city, and is the kind of traveller in the article, etc etc.

Loudly proclaiming you're anti Trump is not a skip-the-line ticket to acceptance with us all. We also know a lot of people lie about their politics
