EA on International Outlets: Trump’s Racist “Strategy” Abandons America’s Allies
UPDATE, DEC 12: In a 30-minute analysis, I joined the Global Agora podcast, hosted by Andrej Matisak of Slovakia’s Pravda, to evaluate the Trump camp’s campaign to break up the European Union and its potential embrace of Russia.
Post-1945 US strategy built upon the idea of an international order where it worked with Europe.
When these Trump people talk about Europe, they use racist, xenophobic language which is not just allying with the far right in Europe — it marks out these Trump officials as far right.

UPDATE, DEC 11: I followed up with RTE Radio 1’s Morning Ireland on Wednesday about the Trump camp’s threat to Europe and the world.
There is no longer an alliance between the US and Europe, at least when it comes to the Trump camp.
Not everyone in the Trump Administration believes this, but Trump and his key advisors — notably Vice President J.D. Vance — do.

I summarize the far-right, anti-Europe, racist National Security Strategy.
This far-right government in the US would rather promote fellow far-right movements on an individual basis — Viktor Orbán in Hungary, the AfD in Germany, the Reform Party in the UK — rather than working with democratic systems.
Indeed, they actually want to undermines those democratic systems.
And I look at the pushback among European leaders, from German Chancellor Friedrich Merz to Pope Leo XIV.
ORIGINAL ENTRY, DEC 10:
I joined Dublin NewsTalk’s Sean Moncrieff in a 15-minute analysis of how “Trumpism” — a far-right, authoritarian quest — is trying to break the Republican Party, the US system, and European countries.
I detail the Trump camp’s takeover of the GOP as it decimates the Government, defies the courts, denies rights, and insults, represses, and detains “enemies within”.
I describe how the Trumpists are taking their mission to Europe, seeking to break the European Union and to install far-right movements in power in democratic systems.
And I explain this is far more than Donald Trump. This is a network of the politically ambitious like J.D. Vance, the ideologues like key advisor Stephen Miller, the billionaires like Peter Thiel and Elon Musk, and the servants like the Heritage Foundation and its head Kevin Roberts.
