Europe likes an America that does its bidding (and pays a 90% share for the privilege of being associated with a NATO operation) with no questions asked, like the good ole days when Billary Klintoon was in charge. They hate it when the American president has a backbone and tells Europe to do what's right and contribute to a worthy cause or get the hell out of the way.

Yes. They like to think of us as a big, dumb dog and themselves as clever owners. It's the only way they can live with their own failures.
