As a European, there isn't many Europeans that have looked at the US with envy even going back decades, now respect, Europeans did have that for the US but that's been dropping a lot since 9/11 and as for this pandemic, it's shocking to us with how bad the US is letting things get and the real problem is that as a country, the US is very divided in many areas, especially on politics and that isn't going to be easy to fix, Trump is a symptom of the problem but the problem is much deeper than that in the US, after all, that's why so many Americans voted Trump into power and fixing those problems is going to take a lot of soul-searching and looking in on yourself on why things are going like they are.
Also, the US isn't at rock bottom yet, far from it, the pandemic seems to be getting worse, the real economic impact of this pandemic hasn't even started to be felt, that will kick in once government support dries up and then after that you've got the pain of high debt levels which will slow down growth for years to come, the worse is still yet to come.
But on a positive note, out of this, a lot of good could come out of it just like a lot of good came out of the aftermath of the second world war for Europeans, I'm already seeing signs of big changes happening in the EU countries and the US could see big changes for the better if the public wants that but in the case of the US, I sense that Americans are going to have to fight for those changes whereas Europeans don't seem to have too and the main problem is big corporations and interest groups have got too powerful in the US that isn't going to want to change without a lot of pressure from the public, Europe doesn't have that issue as much.
