In 2016 Donald Trump was elected President of the United States. The world is on the eve of a geopolitical revolution (50 Paradigm Shifts, the Trump Doctrine). It will take a major adjustment for Trump opponents. And how will Europe, Russia, the Middle East and Asia deal with the new reality? We look at the developments on Planet Trump.
UPDATE: On July 10 the President and Melania Trump embarked on a trip to Brussels, the UK and Helsinki (50 Paradigm Shifts, the Trump Doctrine). The media laced the tour with actual and manufactured controversies. During the press conference after the summit in Helsinki, Donald Trump failed to publicly humiliate with Russian President Putin about meddling in the US elections. The Left felt embarrassed. The controversy continues to this day.

President Trump holds a joint press conference with PM Theresa May ahead of meeting with Queen Elizabeth II. After spending the night at Winfield House in London, hosted by his ambassador Mr Johnson, the president joined the prime minister to watch a UK military exercise. They went on to Chequers - the PM's country residence in Buckinghamshire - for bilateral talks and a press conference.
Journalists are pond life. Obviously they were not aware that member countries in the EU are not allowed to go into individual trade agreements with third parties. It was not at all clear that PM May's "soft Brexit" would allow the UK to go into separate trade agreements with the US. It appears that it does. But the media are explaining their ignorance in the worst possible light so they can slander President Trump as having threatened Theresa May.

July 12, 2018 BBC: NATO states to increase defense spending. (Full)
This morning NATO leaders held an emergency session after President Trump warned if allies didn't immediately meet the two percent defense spending target, "I'll do my own thing", which many translated as: the US will leave NATO. That would be unthinkable, but it is the scenario that his critics like to project. As it is, the strong footing NATO is on after this summit, puts Trump in a good negotiating position in his meeting with President Putin on Monday. The EU federalists calling for a European army, will have top shelve their nefarious ambitions for the time being. Next stop, United Kingdom.

You will pay your enemies
But not for your own security

What good is NATO if Germany is paying Russia billions of dollars for gas and energy? Why are there only 5 out of 29 countries that have met their commitment? The U.S. is paying for Europe’s protection, then loses billions on Trade. Must pay 2% of GDP IMMEDIATELY, not by 2025.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 11, 2018

In anticipation of the visit Donald Tusk, President of European Counsel posted a shockingly inaccurate tweet with reference to the President demanding NATO member states spend the required two percent of their GDP on defense.
Dear @realDonaldTrump. US doesn’t have and won’t have a better ally than EU. We spend on defense much more than Russia and as much as China. I hope you have no doubt this is an investment in our security, which cannot be said with confidence about Russian & Chinese spending :-)— Donald Tusk (@eucopresident) July 10, 2018
European Council President to Trump: “Appreciate your allies; after all you don’t have that many”https://t.co/0eLDGaIAkA— Axios (@axios) July 10, 2018
First of all Russia and China are potential enemies, not NATO allies! The EU is not a NATO member "state"; individual countries are! The EU is trying to morph itself into a state. As such they aspire to the formation of EU armed forces under Brussels command and control. Covertly this military structure is meant as a rival to NATO, not an auxiliary, member states contributing just one percent of GDP against NATO's two percent.
One wonders where are the minds of these wannabe sun kings in Brussels! Tusk's attitude is acting offended. "We are your BFFs, so don't you dare holding us to our obligations!" Here's another uptake from the part of more traditional globalists: Trump is "neglecting" Europe!
Manhattan Institute scholar and Thatcher biographer Claire Berlinski - not your average batshit crazy lefty -- has another insight into the mindset of the traditional liberal democratic, post World War 2 world view on our liveblog on Nationalism Versus Globalism. It reflects the default world view of the Democrat Party. Only now President Trump exposed the essentially anti American fallacies and corruptions in that doctrine.

Getting ready to leave for Europe. First meeting - NATO. The U.S. is spending many times more than any other country in order to protect them. Not fair to the U.S. taxpayer.
