While I agree with you that America is using Europe in this way, let's not pretend this isn't a self-inflicted wound.

For America it doesn't matter if it's a dem or rep president - they do whatever they have to do to stay afloat, to grow, even if it's at the expense of the rest of the world. Here in Europe our unelected and unaccountable politicians take progressivism as a religion knowing that it harms our economy and our freedom. These politicians betray us as much as possible and we can do little to stop them.
