That is the bottom line. Fear of American strength and belief that ANYONE can become anything they want with the freedom and wherewithal to attain it.

You just nailed it! When I was a young student in Europe in 1968 the ONE huge ‘lesson’ I took away from that experience was that, in Europe, everyone was BORN into what they were to be. Period. I will never forget the impact that realization had on me.
It’a ALL about class structure. The Europeans who hate us are convinced that their ‘system’ is superior because it provides ‘safety’ - they don’t have to push themselves, or take risks in life (many of them are living in houses that have been in their families for generations) because ‘life’ is all spelled out for them from the moment they are born.
Lastly, the first time I toured the White House I was struck by how very appropriately it represents the USA. Unlike the palaces of Europe, in which their so-called leaders reside (except 10 Downing), the White House is very small, understated, and reflects the fact that ANY citizen can aspire to become POTUS.
