I'm more interested in the collective psychology of a nation that voted Trump in to the US presidency. Also the individuals that constitute it.

Definitely looking less and less like the US sets the tone for much at all, but Australia and the USA have an important military alliance and we're part of the Five Eyes.

Hah, if you ever figure out that collective psychology - please let me know. My family is something like 15 generations into being Americans in the south, and if there's one thing I've learned, it's that we don't understand each other at all. In fact, I'm always amused at how commonly I encounter sentiment of "I don't understand the mindset of anyone who lives anywhere other than here or why they would live somewhere else" (with "here" being a region of approximately 15 counties in western part of North Carolina). Even my younger cousins, who have traveled a bit and lived their whole life with the internet have said the same.

I'm the odd-duck for having lived in Seattle for 5 years. But I eventually moved back of course - because if I'm being honest with myself: Even I don't understand the mindset of anyone who lives anywhere other than here or why they would live somewhere else.
