ER Editor: Seasoned readers know we’re not buying into much if any of the ‘reality’ behind what’s going on right now. Likely, the European leaders have all been replaced under EO 13818 (at minimum) and any remaining ones would be under strict orders / supervision. So we were treated to a show, we believe, on Monday night as Trump sat down at the table with the various puppets. Simplicius does a good job of laying this theatrical piece out for us. The rest of his article is behind a paywall. A reminder that a substitute Trump (one or more) has been used for some time now. Those with a remotely developed intuitive sense know that this is all too ridiculous, clearly scripted.

NYT and WSJ ask the same question: How did Finland’s Stubb become Trump’s favorite European leader? Their answer: He charmed Trump with his golf game, and by promptly losing to him at a tee off.
PS: EU leaders, take note: learn to golf, and also learn how to lose to Trump too. pic.twitter.com/7r7FPMnBOF

Being singled out for special attention is probably a comm —
All EU leaders were met by the WH ‘chief of protocol’ Monica Crowley, whereas Zelensky got the personal treatment from Trump.
Also, Trump’s meeting with the Europeans will not take place in the Oval Office, but in a banquet hall (or maybe the tool shed). pic.twitter.com/yZ6MR1okxB

It is interesting to hear the EU and British leaders grovelling and thanking Trump for “opening up dialogue.”
All after condemning him for talking to Presdient Putin at all.

Trump Breaks Europe Over His Knee: Unprecedented Optics of White House ‘Losers’ Gathering’
The end of Europe as a serious political power.
The troupe arrived to “daddy’s” DC office for their official dressing down. If nothing else, we must marvel at the fact that the meeting produced some of the most remarkable political optics, perhaps, in history:



Has there ever been anything like this? The entire pantheon of the European ruling class reduced to sniveling children in their school principal’s office. No one can deny that Trump has succeeded in veritably ‘breaking Europe over his knee’. There is no coming back from this turning point moment; the optics simply cannot be redeemed.
But even snide ridicule aside, objectively speaking, we must point to how absolutely defeated and low-energy the delegation looked. Just gander at the body language of ‘eminent statesmen’ like Emmanuel Macron and Alexander Stubb in this photo op meant to convey collegial solidarity and allied ‘authority’:
ER: substitute video for Simplicius’ original (same footage) —

Hands in pockets, looks of mild confusion or disinterest, vacant eyes, and that bizarre ‘dead-space’ atmosphere like a “TV tuned to a dead station” (hat tip Mr. Gibson). It’s clear that no one wants to be there, and everyone knows the artificial charade looks and feels forced. The real punchline comes at the 1:00 mark where it becomes eminently obvious the entire hollow exercise is nothing more than an ego-stroke for the cunning Ringmaster himself, as he bids his abject pupils to veer their gaze at the carefully-situated artwork presiding over the gilded humiliation ritual.
Volumes could be written on the implications of such a low point in European influence. But we’ll suffice with concluding that it’s clear the matter of the Ukrainian conflict’s resolution is of such existential importance to the behind-the-scenes cabal which writes the Euro-puppets’ orders, that this cabal is willing to risk everything, including politically sacrificing its “compradors” posing as elected leaders. (ER: We will veer away from this interpretation. Where is this behind-the-scenes cabal, which Trump’s longstanding executives orders were designed to remove starting way back in 2017?)
It’s pointless to even granularize it, but there were many small moments of humiliation in the meeting: from Trump’s seeming non-recognition of Finland’s president—unable to find him despite his sitting directly across from him—to Trump humbling Ursula, who came armed with a prescripted spiel about Russians kidnapping Ukrainian children; Trump slapped her silent by pointing out they had convened to talk about something else entirely, i.e. your propaganda is irrelevant and unwanted here.
ER: Meloni did her famous disconnected staring around the room, as if she were in some alternative, autistic world.
It should also be noted that Trump did not greet a single one of the European messengers personally as they arrived, having a chaperone escort them like children from the White House playground instead. It was in sharp contrast to the pomp and ceremony of the Putin visit. This, of course, is by design, with Trump effectively showing the craven European compradors their subordinate place as part of his slow restructuring of the world order; Trump respects only power—mealy and servile leaders repulse him and earn his boot-print on their foreheads.
So what did the meeting actually accomplish, other than raising Trump’s prestige and smothering inconvenient media narratives from the news cycle? …
