1. CEOs meeting the President is not evidence of govt. control.

2. Europe is an ally and under US govt defense umbrella .

>Europe is an ally

Was? Isn't a threat of invasion of Nato territory something that ended that situation.

Sure "it's Trump being an insane dickhead", but y'all elected him, then suspended rule of law for him.

Europe is sitting waiting to be shafted if we don't assume Trump will continue to do the absolute worst, most hostile things. We should be taking the threats of invasion seriously despite them appearing to be a way to, for example, invade Panama and not look as insane as was expected.

That's an absolute illusion. And definitely absolutely wrong to call it ally. Most govs don't want to have anything to do with trump, musk and all this bullshit.

Most European countries will basically make no deals or anything for 4 years just like we did last time.

There is a literal war thread open of trump claiming to invade parts of Europe. We are pissed. Not allies
