Absolutely agree, I think what Trump and his henchmen are doing will ultimately be good for the EU, whether that’s their intention or not. (I think it’s not btw.) What he seems to completely ignore is that it undermines their influence.
If Europe now bets on it’s own chips, military tech and strength, currency, etc., this means the US loose economic and geopolitical weight. And on top of that, the perception of the US as an unwavering ally is lost. The US are now perceived more and more hostile. This means he can expect more opposition from the EU when he tries to do whatever random shit he comes up with.
He’s so incredibly arrogant, he thinks everyone is so dependent on the US that they can’t refuse them anything, now and forever. I’m not sure I’d want to take that bet while I don’t have to.
