""It's dormant, not dead. Dormant not dead.""
""I can't take this complicity. People rolling over. I should've brought a bunch of knee pads for all the world leaders," he told reporters Tuesday. "I hope people understand how pathetic they look on the world stage.""
""At least from an American perspective, it's embarrassing. The Europeans should decide for themselves what to do, but one thing they can't do is what they've been doing. They've been played.""
""This is diplomacy with Donald Trump? He's a T-Rex. You mate with him or he devours you. One or the other.""
The transatlantic alliance is characterized as 'dormant, not dead.' Markets are predicted as the only force likely to alter Trump's position on Greenland after a tariff threat prompted a sell-off of U.S. assets. Trump is described as a charlatan and grifter who plays the politics of grievance, fails to deliver, and is expected to be pummeled in the midterms. European leaders are criticized for complicity, urged to 'buck up,' stop being complicit, and warned that they have been played. A quip about knee pads underscores contempt for leaders who roll over. Diplomacy with Trump is compared to mating with a T-Rex. A 2028 presidential run is widely expected.
