Trump is aligning the USA with Russia, against Europe, just for his personal benefit. That’s not how alliances work.

The calls from America this weekend to "abolish the EU" are for one simple reason: the EU is the only thing that can keep European nation-states from becoming Russian or American vassals.
The US has declared rhetorical war on the EU
The calls from America this weekend to destroy the EU are revealing. They hate the union because it's the only thing that can keep European countries from being Russian or American vassals.

TRUMP HATES THE WORD "AFFORDABILITY" because he KNOWS that his tariffs are a massive illegal tax on ALL Americans, which is why costs are going up, after Biden struggled years to lower inflation - which Trump first caused by adding trillions of new debt and, mismanagement of Pandemic.
