:: it will cause all sorts of political hay for Macron, Merkel, May. ::
What is really disappointing for me is how well the Clowns got GBR/May to turn. It took awhile. Several elections to get the right people into place (and out of place).
POTUS still believes in our allied/NATO agreement. Other, lesser leaders would have just tossed them aside as so much rubbish.
He really holds in high esteem the PEOPLE of those nations, knowing they aren’t to blame. He’s got a lot riding on his shoulders...by his own volition.
Hope he doesn’t shrug.

As well as what is sometimes called tradition and customs, more broadly "civilization." Yes indeed. Rise of nationalism is by and large best for the people, and a downer for the trans-national elites who have been in charge, and who have been manipulating and corrupting every system and tradition they come in contact with.
He loves this work. No way is he going to shrug.
