The populace of most nations the world over has hated the USA and USAnals for decades now. (Hell, Germans hated the USA back in the '80s when I lived there!) But the governments of most nations were always eager to fellate whoever was in the White House for that entire time, with only rare exceptions here and there.
Now the governments are aligning with the views their people held for decades. That is a major change and will not go well for the USA.
That is, indeed, the key difference.
