Opinion | Trump’s Case Against Europe

“Why does he hate us?” is the question American foreign-policy types often hear from European friends and colleagues when the subject of Donald Trump comes up—as it often does. With Mr. Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in Europe this week, it seems an auspicious time to attempt an answer.

The news isn’t all bad. When Mr. Trump and senior administration officials talk about China, they attack it for abusing the international system in a ruthless quest for global hegemony. Their reading of Europe is different: that...

Just like Iraq just like Syria just like Libya just like Vietnam just like Korea just like Venezuela

'Save Europe from itself:' just like the Nazis and Russians tried.

By encouraging Brexit and Ultra-Nationalists, leading to a move away from Centrist governance, the US has unnerved EU leadership. Bannon has set up shop in Europe. Italy revokes Bannon’s lease. Former Trump adviser had hoped to develop an academy for Europe’s nationalists

Agreed. That's what capitalism tried to do to socialism.

And what are they trying to do with the Saudis? If you don’t recognize that they’re selling America to the highest bidders strictly for their personal gain, and at our expense, you’re either complicit or a MAGA hat wearing fool. Democrats2020💙🇺🇸

How arrogant can you get. Trump is trying to weaken Europe for Putin. Say what you want. Trump is a Russian asset.

Bare bottom delivery of Europe to Russia.

Snowflakes are TRIGGERED ....AGAIN !

so true

Is that a rationale or rationalization?

Not the first time. WW1, WW2, Balkan War...

Absolute nonsense! This government has not missed an opportunity to split and destroy Europe.

Any student of history should be able to tell you that the USA had to save Europe in WWI and WWII from itself -- and that involved war on a nearly global scale. With today's weapons, that is unthinkable. POTUS is on the right track.

Europe is falling, nobody can save it. MAGA!

Trump knows about everything once again, what a great King he is!

Save Europe from itself,it's ,at least,a weird opinion,may be much persons not participating of this appreciation

Lol

Is there a way to get wsj without the opinions? I have no intention of reading any more of these, especially if they revolve around trump.

So what's his case against the United States? He sure seems to be doing his best to bring American Democracy to a screeching halt!

BS. the Trump team don't know chit until Trump tells them after Fox News rating's tell Trump what his base wants. If we had a Senate working for all Americans Trump would just be a loud noise in the WH.

As parts of the U.S. under Trump legislate morality like Europe once did, his advisers might want to keep their noses out of Europe and consider how forcing Christianity on others led to endless wars there, so it doesn't happen here.Reading history is good!

You europeans need to be saved by our commander in chief , you all become too weak .foreigners and muslims are taking your countries . God saves trump .

Well, since he thinks it’s perfectly okay for Russia to interfere in our elections, it makes perfect sense to him that he can interfere in Europe’s elections.

Yeah Make Europe White Again. Disgraceful.

Only moron would’ve said so. And that is him with the weird bloody haircut.

I think he is working a better deal for the Trump family

brendabenoit7 But realDonaldTrump is doing just fine.

'save Europe from itself'... ¿Another big sarcasm?

I really doubt Trump has any of this depth of views on Europe. He is not, in any discernible way, a deep thinker. He only listens to whomever has stoked his ego the most. There is no Trump Doctrine...there is only the Trump Ego with its insatiable appetite for adulation

Very wise of you to have noticed...

Brussels should sprout a backbone.

Trump saved this country,why not Europe too. Sooner or later all the haters are gonna have to admit they were wrong. Thanks MR PRESIDENT!!!!👍👍

So what is it Trump’s team is doing to save Russia from itself?

I never read 'A Confederacy of Dunces', but as a category it would certainly apply to that bunch, who also happen to comprise the most corrupt administration in history. Trump has been trying to weaken NATO because it not only pleases his paramour Putin,but also his fascist base.

Oh he’s an expert on Europe? That’s a laugh.

Germany has tried to accomplish with the EU what it failed to do with its military (twice) and some Brits and Europeans resent that.

The 3 Laws misinterpreted again...

🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂

We already helped saved Europe 2 times. It’s definitely cheaper to not try and save it a 3rd time. A unified Europe is honestly a better Europe—just like a unified United States is better than a divided warring one (North vs. South).

We have been rebuilding Europe and China plus Japan since 1945 the end of World War II it’s time to make it even!

So when his campaign worked collaboratively with the Russian government was he trying to save the United States of America from itself? Enough, already!

realDonaldTrump doesn't have a team, he has the voices in his head!

What are they smoking? 'Cause it is smoking up their glasses.

They be wrong. When has John Bolton been right?

And Europe sees Trump as the fool and racist that he is. realDonaldTrump GOP VP Actually- most of America sees Trump that way too.

President V.Putin,in favor of Ukraine,signed a decree suspending the agreement with the US on disposing of weapons-grade plutonium(transferred from Ukrainе1996) RF side that is not able to ensure the fulfillment of obligations for disposal is required to return plut. to Ukraine

Just wondering, IF the US under .realDonaldTrump leaves the UN, will Germany, France and England start building their own Nuclear Weapons?

I doubt that anyone needs trump advice on anything.

And as Trump is SUCH a mental giant...EVERYONE should 'just take his word for it'. NOT!

Stop blaming trump for every framing thing give your mind n hate a break

Hitler also thought that

Globalist

They’re a lost cause. Haven’t they always been?

Who voted to create the EU? Not European Countries.

Guess if he is wrong with such a 'leader' for EU ? DO YOU WANT A DRUNK MAN AS A LEADER ?

Trump’s team trynta save Europe from deez nuts

No one said that

Trump is a Dictator who always has his sights on other countries but ignores his own.

Disagree.

And europe needs all the help it can get especially if it is free

Entitled anglo-saxon christian males only want to save people from themselves.... ...nothing new here.

2020 just around the corner, hang in there free world 🌎 our founding fathers had / have our backs

Let Europe take care of Europe. Trump should focus on the country that he is president of.

Hahahahahahaha

🤪🤪🤪

the real problem is: he is too stupid to identify putin's real agenda. putin counts till 100, whereas the idiot has issues to count till 3... europe, UK, wake up! get stronger together! brexit is a big mistake, but even if this happens, we r still 150+ million more than the US!!!

And they are G D right!

Trump is right, Europe needs to be saved from itself, Putin, terrorism, an economy that is teetering.

It's articles like these that make the President and his gang of idiots seem smarter than they actually are. They don't actually have a plan. Trump doesn't know anything about the EU and likely can't name most countries. He doesn't know what Brexit really is either.

No they are saving europe. Let EU die

Europe will be just fine. We need to be saved from the Trump team.

Really lol lol 😝 lol

No, he's going with his 'Make America Great Again' and 'Make the Rest of the World America too' policies.

it's a surprise to read the real news, finally 🤣

Hunger Games PS. Not surprised Trump Brexit

Yep- Europe is crazy - no longer Europe

Actually, Europe is done. They just don't realize it yet. Thanks Merkel!

Trumps team includes Bannon and Miller. We should all be saved from them
