Many will and DO blame all of us for Trump. Just as we did (frankly) blame the German people--ALL the German people for Hitler and the Holocaust. It is hard to separate, though I think the most educated and sympathetic peoples of the world see that Trump was only elected by a minority, despite the vote differential. Canadians, in particular seem to see that distinction and extend sympathy to Americans in general.
