But our president believes that "the state" is inseparable from his person. So none of that counted. Trump demands gratitude *personally*, to *him*.
And any gratitude expressed to America when Trump was not its supreme leader isn't just worthless—he sees it as a betrayal.

Zelenky stood in front of the American government, in the seat of our democracy, and thanked our entire nation. Every farmer, teacher, engineer, nurse, and cop. Thanked us on behalf of his entire country. youtu.be/7gjwlCe5T6M?...

America is over. There is no coming back from this.
If we're lucky maybe we claw back some small-l liberalism for our daily lives. But even that might be too much to hope for.
The rest of the world has to move on from us.
They now know that the American people can't be trusted.
They're right.

At the beach: A man (60s?) is laying on his back in the surf, arms outstretched, letting the water wash around him, looking blissfully calm. Every now and then he sweeps his arms or legs through the water or looks up and smiles at his partner who is reading on the sand nearby. (5)

A woman (30s?) and a young human (8?) are walking past an ice cream parlour.
Young Human: "Auntie Kate! We're going the wrong way!"
Auntie Kate: "Are we?"
Young Human: "We have to go back!"
Auntie: "Well alright, but since we're here, we should probably get an ice cream..." (Grins wickedly) (4)

A woman (50s?) with a curly silver mohawk, wearing tartan pants and a black tank top struts down the street. The black bag slung over her shoulder is full of colourful balls of wool, the tops of two knitting needles sticking out of one of them. She knows she's cool. (3)
