But the problem is that in a certain way, when Trump talks about the world, he sees only America.

And this is the problem with Europe.

In a certain way, you go there,

Here are the Europeans, and they're like the Democrats, and they're like this, and they're like that.

Paradoxically, he does not have much interest in other places, particularly when it comes to the allies.

This is this strange combination of one level person with a strong imperial imagination, and on the other side, incredibly provincial.

And to be honest, I have a sympathy with him.

Like dogs.

Yeah.
