"As the Trump administration, its political supporters, and their ideological apparatus work overtime to destroy US stability and well-being, they are not merely accelerating their country’s transition from a free society to an autocracy. Theirs is a holistic effort to take down a superpower."

"But the Trump administration is unusual in its apparent commitment to destroying the pillars of America’s long-term prosperity – education, health, research, and climate policy – and decimating trust in, and goodwill toward, the US abroad."

"Many of the world’s most notorious dictators have carried their countries toward ruin, such as by slashing public assistance (Chile’s Augusto Pinochet), appropriating funds for themselves and their cronies (Congo’s Mobutu Sese Seko, Libya’s Muammar el-Qaddafi, and Putin), or engaging in catastrophic wars or revolutionary campaigns (Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, and Mao Zedong)."

"It describes the European Union as an adversary whose unity must be undermined. It celebrates the rise of 'patriotic European parties,' the euphemism used for the far-right, anti-immigrant movements aligned with Putin and championed by figures like Marine Le Pen."

"On Friday, the Trump administration released its National Security Strategy. I don’t believe this is getting nearly enough attention. The document states plainly that America’s top strategic priority is 'cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations.'"

"American voters saw what Trump was capable of during his first term, lived through the alternative and decided that they preferred a dime-store autocrat to democracy after all. It is a gift to dictators and kleptocrats (but I repeat myself) and a horror to the West, to our allies and to the Pax Americana.

In short, it is a catastrophic nightmare."

"On Friday, the White House released a document that will forever transform the way the United States sees its role in the world and the way the world sees itself with respect to us. It is a document that will far outlive Donald Trump and MAGA, for it underscores the fickleness of our nation."

"It comes as no surprise to learn that it will be U.S. strategy to support so-called 'patriotic European parties,' for which we should read the overtly racist Nazi-worshipping Alternative For Germany political party that Vice President Vance praised so effusively in February that he practically drooled down his shirt at the Munich Security Conference."

"Now he has admitted the truth. His unhappiness with NATO is racist. For Trump and adherents to his cause, European nations have become insufficiently white. Trump’s national security strategy supports 'unapologetic celebrations of European nations’ individual character and history.' That would be the kind of lily-white history he wants taught in American schools and universities."
