For 80 years, Europeans lived at the expense of the USA, which financed their defense, security, and journalists. At the same time, Europeans spent money that they would otherwise have to spend on defense and security on the welfare state and its programs. So they made fun of America: "Hahaha! You don't have free healthcare, haha, what losers!" forgetting that the Americans were financing it for them.

Then the Europeans said, "You produce something there, some big tech, who makes a lot of money? Ah, that's great, now we'll come up with regulations to take as much as possible from you."

Then the Europeans remembered that they could introduce tariffs, 5 times higher than the USA. Then they remembered the regulations for coal and that others don't have those, so every imported product will be hit with an additional climate tax.

One day the Americans said, wait, we don't like that relationship. We get very little, and we give a lot. Maybe we could do something good for ourselves with the money we are losing in Europe - say, reduce our public debt?

Europe has been on edge, much like taxi drivers when Uber appeared in their city, when they realized that they would no longer be able to live off their privileged position. Or like professors when they find out that they will be evaluated and that their salary will depend on merit, not status, gender and age. Or any other group when they are left without the privileges they are used to.

People will be more furious when they lose a privilege than when their rights are revoked. And the more absurd and meaningless the privilege, the more furious they will be when they lose it. So too will Europeans when they lose American subsidies, which they did not deserve and for which they were never grateful.

Journalists and politicians cannot come to their senses for days. Headlines: "Trump has betrayed Europe", "America is turning in its grave", "Europe must decide what to do" and they only show the level of panic in which the European aristocracy has found itself. Because journalists are nothing more than mouthpieces for the political elites in Brussels.

We may not like Trump, but he is the elected president of the United States who is fulfilling his campaign promises. He is doing exactly what he was elected to do. The spitting, slander and hatred that the European aristocracy, through its spokespersons in the media, shows towards Trump is actually the contempt it has always had for the citizens of the United States, for America as a pillar of personal freedoms and the West.

There is not a day, hour, minute or second when some European media outlet does not publish at least one slander, insult or conspiracy theory about the American president, whose greatest crime is to implement the will of the people who elected him.

After all this, is there any reason for America to remain on friendly terms with the EU? If so, what did Europe do to deserve this?
