The US is an absolute enemy of the peoples of Europe at this stage.
In a roundabout long term way Trump might be their greatest gift. A major weakness in the EU is lack of natural resources and having to import a lot. Trump has opened the door to greater cooperation with Canada, culturally much more aligned to European values than US.

China laughing their balls off. US trying to play the big boy because of China economic strength, and all they done is push everybody to deal with China even more. Dump fools! The UK comes out of it looking very poor. Left the EU to get big trade deals with the US and got nothing, now food over 2/3rds to twice the price it was 10yrs ago and they never admit they got it wrong.

Look-Up!

US looks a basket case politically at the moment. All upmanship. Until they get their house in order, get over each other and pull together politically for the better of the nation, or have their fecking civil war, whatever it takes, cos as it stands they're impossible to deal with. Agreements written in pencil couldn't describe them any better. Because you just don't know what's coming 4 years down the line.

Brits not much better politically but most of the harm they're doing to themselves. At least a trade deal with them will have value or credibility.

Yes China can't believe their luck. Talk about blowing your toes off.

The US and the UK are in very bad shape politically and economically.
So is France.

Definitely a touch of crayon but Trump is just one American. There's 350 million more of them. If he were to drop dead today I'm not sure how much changes, embarrassing tantrums aside.
