What will last of Trump?

They also shore up democracy, not to mention rule of law in international relations, as far as that can be done.

To the degree the EU decides to go it alone, it weakens US and EU power. Not YOUR fault, of course. You gotta do what you gotta do when Trump shoves your leaders around and treats you like mooches, while giving your common adversary much more respect. It just seems like Trump is going down Putin's wish list and checking every box--GB, NATO, EU, Montenegro, Syria.

It is puzzling that too few Americans see anything concerning about insulting and alienating allies as adversaries cheer. So long as nothing changes TOMORROW, what's the problem?

It depends on how Trump's supporters view our allies.  Maybe I don't give them enough credit, but I could see them watching Trump distance himself from them as a good thing.  They're super liberal socialists who are weak on terror, so Trump shouldn't get along with them right?
