Sure, it's decreasing under Trump, but to pretend the richest, most militarily powerful, most culturally influential nation on the planet somehow doesn't have any soft power is... certainly a choice.

Republicans are spending all of US's remaining soft power on stealing Greenland.
If it ends with the Navy showing its non-soft power, Europe won't have any fucks left to give about some website.
We already don't. We want the Americans to pack up their bases and fuck off. Ami, go home! They've done enough work to stir up chaos and war all over the planet in the last 7 decades.
You’re entirely free — at any time — to leave NATO, develop your own replacement weapons programs, and fully fund your own defense.
I suspect most Americans would actually be quite supportive.
You’ll just have to figure out how to actually pay for it.

Yeah they should pack up and leave seriously, go serve Israel and attack Iran, I want no part in that.
Yeah actually we hate you. Apparently you've still got a loft of soft power in Nigeria, though. Most Europeans are now firmly anti-America.
It really doesn’t matter, the leaders who need to overlook personal grudges are the ones who do the wheeling and dealing here.
Probably worth noting that if the US isn’t at the head of the table, it’s moved to China by default, not Europe. Though their propaganda seems to be quite successful lately.
Typical American arrogance. You assume you can treat everyone around you like shit and we'll just put up with it.
Don't you understand? You're threatening to invade us, China isn't. So no matter how bad China may be, you're still worse at the moment.
You're so blinded by arrogance. You cannot imagine a world in which you are hated, but it's already here.
