A new White House policy document formalizes President Trump’s long-held contempt for Europe’s leaders. It made clear that the continent now stands at a strategic crossroads.
The Trump administration has not exactly kept its low regard for Europe secret. President Trump has long portrayed European allies as freeloaders that fail to pay enough for their own security and argued that the European Union was “formed to screw the United States.”

When the truth hurts...
DNC shill at the NY Slimes engages in projection.
As if I believed anything from the NYT fishwrap.
The sorry pricks deserve every bit of distain that PDJT can send them.
I’ve disdained Euroweenies for a long time, even though my father and his family came here from Holland in 1913, and my mother’s ancestors came from different parts of Europe. She was born in Canada. They can all go to hell...Canada too for all I care.
About time. Now get out of NATO and the UN; deal with each nation individually through the State Department.
This is America’s last call to Europe to rescue itself from the Muslims. Not sure they could even if their rulers wanted to. But I would like to see them try.
“far-right”
In other words, centrist. The NY Slimes is so far to the left, almost everything else looks “far-right” to them.

From 2025:
[”It used to be unthinkable that Germany and the U.S. would go their separate ways,” said Charles Kupchan, senior fellow at the Council for Foreign Relations,” under former Chancellor Gerhard Schröder. “That has been irretrievably altered.”
Findings from the Pew Global Attitudes Project concur with Kupchan’s analysis.
According to the poll, before Bush was elected, 78 percent of Germans had a favorable opinion of America. In this year’s survey, that figure had dropped to 37 percent.]
From 2025:
[U.S.-Germany relations
In our 2025 survey, 71% of U.S. adults say that relations with Germany are very or somewhat good. This represents a 13 percentage point decline since last year. Around a quarter of Americans (24%) say relations with Germany are bad, the highest share saying this since 2018.
In Germany, there is a dramatic decline in those viewing relations with the U.S. as positive. Last year, before Trump was elected U.S. president again, 74% had positive views of the U.S.-German relationship. In 2025, 27% of Germans say relations with the U.S. are good, while 73% say they are bad.
There has also been a shift in partisan attitudes among Americans toward U.S.-Germany relations. In the current survey, 81% of Republicans and those that lean toward the Republican Party say relations with Germany are good, while 65% of Democrats and those that lean toward the Democratic party say the same. In 2024, 91% of Democrats and Democratic leaners and 84% of Republicans and GOP leaners said relations between the two countries were good.
In another sign of strained relations between the NATO allies, 38% of Germans see the U.S. as a major threat to their economy, 48% see the U.S. as a minor economic threat, and 14% say the U.S. is no threat economically.]
Comparison with China:
[A significant majority of Germans, 84%, see China as an economic threat, according to a survey cited in a late 2023 analysis.
This widespread concern is reflected in public sentiment:
Willingness to “de-risk”: 60% of Germans polled indicated a willingness to accept higher consumer prices and potential job losses to reduce the country’s economic dependency on China.
Prioritizing values: 48% of respondents want to prioritize human rights over immediate economic benefits in the relationship with China.
Negative view of influence: 62% of Germans have a negative view of China’s overall influence in the world, the highest figure since annual surveys began in 2017.
The shift in public opinion aligns with growing official caution, as Germany’s government has moved away from former Chancellor Angela Merkel’s more China-friendly stance to a “de-risking” strategy that emphasizes reducing critical dependencies. ]

I’m pretty sure he disdains America’s elites, as well.
I disdain them too. So I’m in good company.
America embracing “globalism” has been a destructive force for our nation. Nothing good has come from it.
Pull the Plug! The EU and Ukraine both, two corrupted, problem nations are nothing but trouble....both nation’s peoples have been led astray by evil leadership.
Who are these leaders?
