It’s in America’s best interest if there is a unified Europe. As such, Trump and the GOP’s plan to willfully isolate America and her interests should be more alarming than the “war on Christmas” or entrusting a woman to govern her own uterus. From slighting China (who must remain an ally if we’re intent on impeding North Korea’s nuclear ambitions), German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Mexico, NATO members, and those countries involved in brokering The Iran Deal, to suggesting that America pillage from her allies in wartime—a violation of international law—Trump continues to prove that he has a dangerously dim understanding of national and international policy. Speaking to congress, General Petraeus recently weighed in, warning that Trump poses a “threat to global stability,” more a highly plausible prediction than sheer partisan hyperbole.
