The US has been vocal about Europe having to spend more on defense as part of NATO. Yet most countries didn't, preferring to spend the money on other things. Governments of the largest European economies have been so full of themselves, yet now their strongest ally is asking them to actually deliver.
I understand that for Europeans this might cause a negative reaction, but the reaction is pure emotion, not an attempt to understand both sides of the partnership.
The current administration has been pushing things very fast, that is true. Maybe too fast. But it is also refreshing to see that you can get rid of bureaucracy if there is a strong will.
And let's not forget that the change in the US administration has had a direct impact on the debate around de-regulation and making the business environment in the EU more friendly for entrepreneurs and new business. But it came only as a reaction to what Trump is doing, not as part of a clear strategy or execution plan.
