1 - Trump's US is clearly screwing Europe. He doesn't like their democracy, their rule of law and their regulations for coming together as a union. He is such an idiot that he doesn't understand that his own country was built by regulating human activities in an orderly fashion between individuals, states and their federal government. Which is why he is dismantling the federal structure and bypassing laws and the constitution.
2 - Trump is seeking a rapprochement with his buddy, his dictator alter ego, Vladimir Putin of Russia.
3. He likes Putin's dictatorial methods (assassinating and imprisoning opponents and dissidents), and he desperately wants to emulate his brutality.
4. Trump appears to be selling Europe to Putin in exchange of closer ties with Russia and perhaps an alliance with Russia to counter China and Iran. For now, Russia is very close to Iran and China.
5. To facilitate the sale of Europe to Russia, Trump is now trying to break Europe apart by weakening (if not destroying) NATO, laying claims to European territories (Greenland), and driving a wedge within Europe between democrats (both conservatives and progressives) on one hand, and the Fascists and neo-Nazis on the other hand: Italy, Finland, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia and the Czech Republic all have radical rightwing parties led by autocrats in government, and soon in Germany (the AfD party whom Elon Musk is backing).
6. Putin is much much smarter than Trump. Just as Netanyahu wags Trump on Palestine, Putin is wagging Trump on Ukraine. You can tell by their bemused looks and broad smiles when the idiot meets with them. He gives them everything they want and gets nothing in exchange. In the Ukraine case, and before any negotiations, Trump has given Putin everything he wants: Keep the territories seized in Ukraine, deny Ukraine joining NATO and the EU, and if Putin concedes (highky unlikely) to give a truncated Ukraine security guarantees, Trump wants the Europeans to provide them, yet he has kept Ukraine and the EU out of the negotiations.
7. Like good old male macho autocrats, Trump and Putin think that by putting their four testicles together they can push the world around acccording to their personal wishes. But Putin is playing on Trumps' stupidity and the little democracy that is still breathing in the US. Putin will probably agree now to whatever terms Trump wants on Ukraine, then wait out Trump's term, and re-invade Ukraine and annex it the moment the American idiot is out of office.
