From the moment Trump was sworn in as POTUS, he has attacked the NATO alliance, interfered in its elections, bashed its leaders and has been far friendlier to Putin than the alliance leaders. Trump has a disdain for Europe and Europeans know it. Is it any wonder it is now being reciprocated by many?
Europeans value stability. Trump likes chaos. Never shall the Twain meet.
Europeans value "stability" as long as Americans are paying for it.
Look, Frances contribution to the world of liberty can't be overstated. As a nation they have done a great deal for all of us, including ensuring America succeeded in their infancy. I still have an admiration for their culture and historic libertarians, their contributions during the Renaissnce Period and of course during the occupation in WW2. UK, Germany et al others all sided with America vs the communists and it ensured capitalism won and the West remained free.
That was then this is now.
There has always been a big push by Russia and now China to drag the EU into big government worship, they've given the politicians a taste of the "good life" at the expense of capitalism and individual liberty. Ditto for much of the world the last, most important stand was U.S.A.
Communists know it's much easier to bribe and buy an all powerful politician than it is to destabilize a diverse, dynamic, self running economy. They want you to be centrally run, it makes their job easier.
Trump has prevented the global socialists from succeeding. He was so feared because the big power structures knew, probably from their intel agencies, that Trump honestly
might just be that one, insanely strong headed guy to resist them. It's why after he won, CNN and others were trying to take the "well, maybe he will just be like every other politician and he was saying stuff on the campaign trail but he will really get in line like other RINOs and sign the Paris Accord, not confront China and global socialists, not build a wall". You could sense they were reverting to Plan B which was "
assume and hope he is just another politician".
The funniest method they used was some sort of advanced psychology, hoping Trump and his team might be listening,
"we are out asking Trump supporters, and they don't really believe he will do the things he says, they just want him to succeed" etc. Of course, they extrapolate details. Maybe Trump supporters didn't expect a cash payment from Mexico, but they certainly expected a wall. Ditto for dealing with China, walking away from the Paris Accord, renegotiating NAFTA, to a lesser extent, reshaping the Iran deal. However, CNN was trying to signal to everyone, "hey, no need to do all that Trump, your supporters don't care".
Pure malarkey. Now they realize he is real, and the global socialists, especially in Europe feel they have been called out. They can't rely on America to fund all their ballroom parties and yacht cruises. No more "take from us, while you support threats against us, willingly or unwittingly".
Truly
America is back, as long as you can avoid drawn out conflict and weak leadership. All of the Western world is better for this, I assure you.
Thank you for your time.
