In this live, I walk through what is no longer a theory but a daily spectacle: Donald Trump’s public deterioration and the global damage it’s causing in real time. Triggered by a Daily Beast report detailing Trump’s overnight posting spree—leaking private messages from allied leaders, threatening NATO partners, and openly fantasizing about seizing Greenland—the episode moves beyond Trump himself and focuses on a more alarming failure: Europe’s response.
Trump’s behavior is erratic, vindictive, and humiliating. He flatters himself, lashes out, and uses power like a toddler uses a hammer. None of this is new. What is staggering is how European leaders continue to engage him as if normal diplomatic rules still apply. Trump leaked texts from Emmanuel Macron and NATO leadership that reveal a pattern of appeasement, flattery, and quiet desperation—strategies that do nothing but embolden Trump and invite further abuse.
By contrast, a moment of clarity comes from a British MP who names Trump for what he is: a bully. The contrast between that blunt assessment and Prime Minister Starmer’s cautious, meandering response exposes the central problem. Trump does not respect restraint. He exploits it.
The lesson is simple and overdue: you don’t manage a bully and an imbecile by appeasing him. You stop him by standing up to him—clearly, publicly, and repeatedly. Until Europe learns that, Trump will keep humiliating allies, destabilizing alliances, and dragging everyone down with him.
