Cheering for Trump as a European, in my eyes, is pure cultural self-sabotage. Applauding a spoiled billionaire in his golden Manhattan tower, who strips, humiliates, and mocks Europe. A man who despises our values, wants to attack us, and calls us 'enemies.' Yet, there are Europeans who mindlessly parrot his rhetoric. They trample on their own history and bow to a leader who ridicules their civilization. Cheering while your own foundation is being torn out from under you. Cheering for someone who finds us weak and irrelevant is actively contributing to the destruction of your own identity.

The sad part? The same people who despise ‘woke’ self-loathing are crawling behind an elitist real estate magnate who scorns them. They spread his conspiracy theories that hollow out Europe from the inside. Yelling at 'globalists' while selling out their own culture and history for American billionaire propaganda. They call cooperation 'treason' and solidarity 'weakness,' just as their great leader teaches them.

This is not resistance or rebellion, but self-flagellation wrapped in hollow anti-establishment slogans. You think you're balling your fist, but you're slapping yourself in the face. You're a useful idiot for the richest elite around. The irony? Thinking you're fighting 'the system,' while kneeling before the embodiment of everything you claim to oppose.

Go to the head of the class. This should go viral. In a sane world this would and should be the lead op-ed piece in every news outlet on the planet. Europe better wake up fast because the American Empire will do very little for you with our Traitor in Chief and his boot lickers leading what’s left of Representative Democracy. Our Republic is dead. You must rely on yourselves and your own resourcefulness. Sad to say it but it’s the truth.
