Was the EU formed to hurt the US as Trump claims?

The European Union was formed to make the countries of Europe prosper. The EU wasn’t formed “to hurt the U.S.”

Countries were already doing that, by giving the U.S. their goods and products, and getting nothing in return — except the green banknotes, in other words, were giving massive assistance to the U.S. (that’s how the U.S. became so rich), but now Trump wants the countries — after they gave the U.S. their goods — to give the Americans back the green banknotes.

Trump made his money by ripping off contractors — he confessed himself, and now he’s trying to do the same trick with all the countries in the world (except Russia and North Korea — Trump has no issues with Putin and Kim).

Looks like Trump thinks that anything any country is doing to become prosperous and strong is meant “to hurt the U.S.”

Trump just wants to be the mafia boss and for everyone to pay to the U.S.

Can’t just hang around, waiting for the Americans to sort themselves out.

Since NATO is badly losing in Ukraine to the Russian forces, should NATO soldiers and commanders find a new job given their incompetence? Do they expect pushing different versions of the same disinformation every few months to help them win?

Trump thinks that the global economy is a zero sum game — you get something, I lose.

And he is furious the other countries are not giving into his global bullying.

The USA is now a global laughing stock, because of Trump. And because Americans allow this farce to continue, the world has to move on.

While the global economy is about everyone winning.

This is what Trump is calling, “everyone is ripping us off” — the fact that other countries gave the U.S. their goods in exchange to green paper (well, by now it’s only zeroes and ones in the computer code). In exchange to real cars, real iPhones, real wine, real steel, real consumer goods. The countries just got back the U.S. dollars.
