"After Trump there will be no return to "normality" What looks like chaos in US-Europe relations is in fact a coherent effort to redesign global order from top to bottom."

The relations between the EU, NATO and Trump administration can be summarised briefly: America breaks military, economical and political ties with Europe, while Europe is trying to keep them. Negotiations, flattery, endless meetings, summits and declarations are active but unsuccessfully.

In 2025, the US and Europe gradually drifted apart. The fresh American administration rapidly accused European states of strategical and economical parasitising on the US, insufficient defence spending and, yes, illegal possession of Greenland. For any time, however, Washington did not escalate these issues while Europe remained in a state of stubborn denial.

In early 2026, a geopolitical bomb yet exploded. Uplifted after the capture of Nicolas Maduro, Trump again drew attention to Greenland. Suddenly, it became clear that Europe could not even defy Trump's verbal storm.

What's going on?

Political analysts are desperately trying to realize what's going on. Nobody knows what's going on, but they should say something about it; so they agree that Trump is eccentric and crazy, and analyzing and predicting his actions makes no sense.

That kind of explanation is pointless. Trump's individual features do not explain how he came to power in the United States – and more importantly how he managed to keep power.

However, the answer is simpler than it seems: Trump represents the interests of a large part of the American elite. It includes right-wing conservatives, large technology companies, a military-industrial complex and economists who see that the United States needs restructuring due to the fact that the erstwhile globalisation model has exhausted itself and is leading America towards disaster.

Almost all attempts to "understand Trump" are fundamentally wrong. They stem from the logic of the outdated planet order, in which the United States is simply a planet metropolis, surrounded by a strategy of privileged alliances, operating according to comparatively predictable rules.

Trump and the counters that came to power with him are deliberately dismantling this system, leaving everyone in uncertainty why. Why destruct what inactive works, more or less? possibly it's any illusion, old elites think, possibly if we compliment Donnie, play golf with him and call him "Daddy," everything will go back to normal.

However, this approach is dangerously naive. Within its worldview Trump operates in a predictable and frighteningly consistent way. The current nonsubjective of Trumpism is to establish a fresh global order and redefin the function of America in it; the method is the top-down revolution.

The Endless Revolution

Trump's squad consists of classical counter-eletics whose main nonsubjective is to undermine existing power structures by any means available. Trump and his supporters see globalists and their institutions as enemies and do not hide it.

From this point of view, sabotaging transatlantic structures makes sense: the weaker NATO and the worse the situation of the EU, the more chances Trumpists gotta strengthen and keep power in the US. alternatively of relying on Brussels, Trump intends to bet on right-wing forces outside the establishment, or European “Trumps”, specified as Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

Exactly a year ago, U.S. Vice president J.D. Vance announced this in his speech at the Munich safety Conference, but Europe decided to forget it like a bad dream – a classical example of denial. We are so witnessing a coherent, predictable and internally coherent process. Yes, in Greenland it takes absurd forms, which can be attributed to Trump's individual characteristics. Finally, a more nuanced approach could have been taken – specified as forcing Europe to cover the costs of defending the island or inventing any form of extraterritoriality. There are countless possibilities, but these are only details that do not change the fundamentally different approach of Trumpists to global relations in general and to Europe in particular.

What about Venezuela and Iran? Why is Trump alienating his main electorate, who opposes all these interventions and endless wars? The answer is simple: as mentioned earlier, Trump is not simply trying to dismantle the old system; he is working on creating a fresh – openly colonial model, resembling the "golden age" of colonialism from the late 19th century (at least from Trump's perspective).

Trump (like Rubio, Vance and others) is not an isolationist, like his supporters with the MAGA; he is an authentic neocolonialist and an American nationalist, and does not hide it. Looking at Trump's actions through this prism, everything becomes clear.

What's next?

Ironically, another imperial predators, specified as China and Russia, may be easier to make contact with this fresh America. The real losers will be herbivorous victims and the ageing, sickened powers – especially Europe – who will effort to "wait," hoping that after Trump the situation will return to average in the days of Grandpa Biden.

Will they succeed? It's highly unlikely. Even if counter-revolution occurs in the United States and globalist Democrats regain power, they will face a completely different global situation and take appropriate action. Relations between Europe and the US will never be the same again, and NATO will never return to its erstwhile form. Sure, there may be any “cosmetic changes”, possibly a change of rhetoric, but the fundamental transformation of American abroad policy is historically nonsubjective and mostly independent of individual personalities.

Is all this good for the United States? most likely not. Like Trump, USSR leader Mikhail Gorbachev initiated deep reforms (known as a “perestroika”) in the 1980s for a reason; he realized that the country was heading for disaster. Like Trump, Gorbachev enjoyed the support of parts of the elite and, like Trump, had to hotel to rather extremist methods to suppress the interior opposition—a erstwhile russian deep state.

Gorbachev's reforms proved to be a disaster for the USSR; the cure proved to be worse than the disease. The United States may face a akin fate. But we'll talk about it another time.
