Mary Trump: A Radical Abdication - America Is the Enemy of European Liberal Democracy

I want to highlight a subject that got pushed out of the headlines, because the news cycle is almost impossible to keep up with these days. On December 4th, 2025, the Trump regime unveiled its National Security Strategy. The NSS is an official document presented to Congress that articulates the administration’s view of U.S. national security interests, including global threats, foreign policy priorities, and national security objectives. It turns out the Trump regime’s strategy is a travesty that alienates our allies, embraces authoritarian leaders around the world, and threatens the Western liberal democratic order.

None of this should surprise us. Donald and those in his orbit, including JD Vance, Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth, and every single congressional Republican, have shown themselves willing to turn the United States of America into an autocratic fascist regime in which white nationalism is the order of the day. But the implications are vast and far-reaching—not just a re-configuring of the post-World War II order, but a complete American withdrawal from it.

In her piece for The Atlantic “The Longest Suicide Note in American History,” Anne Applebaum writes that by withdrawing from Biden-era agreements “to jointly expose malicious and deceptive online campaigns originating in Russia, China, or Iran,” the United States was, in effect

declaring that it would no longer oppose Russian influence campaigns, Chinese manipulation of local politics, or Iranian extremist recruitment drives. Nor would the American government use any resources to help anyone else do so either.

If those groups didn't interfere there's no way Donny would win.

Maybe Chump would have won anyway (?) but we'll never know.
Haven't we been warned all along, and why is nobody listening?
