President Trump’s assertion that the EU was founded to ‘screw’ the United States is a hilarious take on geopolitical history. One wonders if he’s forgotten that his own ancestors were immigrants who ‘screwed’ the U.S. with their dreams and ambition. It’s a comical display of American exceptionalism, with Trump once again misunderstanding international trade dynamics. His claim that the EU can’t retaliate is like a child threatening not to play because they don’t like the rules of the game. It’s laughably naive, and his love for the EU countries is as sincere as his belief in the Tooth Fairy.
