Trump Is Nero While Washington Burns
Briefly

In a recent speech, French senator Claude Malhuret emphasized the dangers of America's changing stance on Ukraine and the implications for European security. He argues that Trump’s leadership style undermines traditional alliances, suggesting that allies can no longer rely on American defense. This creates an opportunity for Russia and challenges from other powers like China. Malhuret paints Trump as dangerously unorthodox, opting for isolationism and unpredictability that not only threaten European security but also undermine democracy at home. He highlights a historical precedent of betrayal in U.S. foreign policy, warning of a slippery slope towards authoritarianism.
Trump's message is that being his ally serves no purpose, because he will not defend you.
Europe is at a crucial juncture of its history. The American shield is slipping away, Ukraine risks being abandoned, and Russia is being strengthened.
Never in history has a president of the United States surrendered to the enemy. Never has one supported an aggressor against an ally.
The king of the deal is showing that the art of the deal is lying prostrate.
