The worst Trump sin of all.

Stating the obvious.

Trump gives the political class weinies heartburn when he merely states the simplest, most obvious fact. He’s positively reviled by Republican and Democrat leftists for saying right out there in public that China is screwing us and that it makes no sense for the U.S. to carry the lion’s share of the NATO load while former E. German functionary Angela has Germany buying gas from the “enemy” against whom NATO supposedly protects Europe.

Just like Russians in the Soviet Union eventually grew restless with their government redistributing resources from their republic to other ones within the country and further beyond to Eastern Europe and even Moscow’s “Global South” allies in Africa and Asia, so too are Americans feeling the same way about what their government has been doing for decades vis-à-vis the Europeans and even the Chinese through lopsided trading arrangements.

The long-term national security implications of indefinitely continuing this literal extraction of wealth from the US is why Trump referred to the EU as a “foe” because it’s the most clear-cut characterization of the economic-strategic competition between these two so-called “frenemies”, no matter how surprising it might have been for the Europeans to finally be called out on this scheme by none other than the US President himself.[1]

His saying that controlled borders are an integral part of national sovereignty has caused many a subversive’s near-terminal case of the heebie jeebies.

God bless Donald Trump for asking obvious questions that the political class has refused to ask for 70 years. “Why is that we moved massive amounts of American manufacturing capacity to the shores of a communist dictatorship?” being one such question.

I’ll really be happy if he’ll start asking why it is that Israel is supposedly our bestest friend east of Greenland and why it is that American taxpayers are supposed to fork over billions of dollars to the world Zionist project every year. But that’s probably just too much to hope for.
