Our 2 groups seem to be split down the Atlantic: the US folks love the clapping and positive reinforcement, the europeans seem to roll their eyes. (Generalisation ofc)

Yep agree I have noticed this as well. Not just in this post. Americans in general seems to spend a lot of time telling everybody how great they and/or their team and/or their country is and how hard working they are etc. independently of reality. Trump is a perfect example of this. You could almost call Trump the personification of American culture pushed to the extreme.
