He knows UK is about to leave EU and is looking for closer trade relations with US; Italy might leave EU as well soon, with populist government in charge; Japan will join USA if push comes to shove. Diplomatically long term cards are in US favour. Being that Merkel, Trudeau's and Macron's can not think more then 1 steps ahead they are flying right into his game.
You really don't get it, do you?
I have been rooting for Trump since before the election because I knew it would give the EU a tremendous boost and may even shatter the trans-Atlantic alliance. I never believed I would come to witness it during my lifetime, but it looks like it might come true faster than anybody could have thought - just like the fall of the Berlin wall, I never thought it would happen during my life, but when it started crumbling, things went at great speed.
I do feel sorry for Americans and for all of you guys who are going to lose your jobs in the global recession Trump is going to trigger. This must be the first time in human history that a president has deliberately triggered a recession. It comes only 10 years after the US caused the last recession. Is there some rule that the US has to plunge the world into recession every 10 years? Maybe it’s good for speculators who are bound to rake in huge profits.
Anyways, Trump is God's gift for European integration. We must have merited it
For Canada it must to tough, though, being all alone against the bully. But fear not, I think the EU might be willing to accept you as associate member. You may still be able to benefit from the great gift of European integration, Albert, just don't give up hope.
