I get the impression they are treating trump the same way US news does. They aren’t openly mocking him, which is what he deserves. The EU is having a bit of social unrest about the lockdowns but they seem calmer and more scientific based than a lot of what we see. But I did see one place where they were quoting trump administration claims about heat reducing the half life of the virus. Didn’t hear trump himself mention half life, that term is way over his head.
