EA on International Outlets: Trump’s Racist “Strategy” Abandons America’s Allies


In a 29-minute deep dive, I join Times Radio’s Maddie Hale to analyze the Trump camp’s threat to Europe in its National Security Strategy and Donald Trump’s ramblings.

I call out the racism, anti-immigrant conspiracy theory, and quest for profit that underpins the Trump faction’s view of Europe as its enemy and Russia as a potential partner.

I note that this “white nationalism” is not shared by everyone in the Administration so the quest for US support of European security and democratic systems is not lost.

However, the far-right group will try to undermine and even topple the European Union and European governments. And they may try to cut all backing of Ukraine’s resistance of Russia’s 46 1/2-month full-scale invasion.
