Before this there was an explosion in anti-European sentiment as well.
Lots of American newspaper articles disparaging European engineering and scientific work, disparaging European work culture, etc. Even now, if somebody here comes up with something they will be referred to as 'scientists' while others in the US will be referred to by name and university; and this stuff is on Wikipedia too. People like Håkan Lans, who in reality is a Polhem prize and Thulin medal winner, are presented as if though they were patent trolls.
This became less prominent-- it's still going on, but still slightly less prominent, so maybe the US is capable of calming itself down.
