Nope.
This goes for many things though. We also would not have epected the US of just not honoring treaties and agreements, or to favor dictatorships over democracies, or choosing and flat-out worshipping an indecent dumbass as president.
The US is the global disappointment of the decade in many respects.

I disagree with that one. Believing other administrations, past or hypethetical future ones, would have handled this better is a pretty essential thought to me.
The current one lies, misinforms, speculates and taunts its TV ratings when giving crisis updates. Not hard to imagine other presidents would have chosen a more constructive approach.
