Trump Leaves NATO Allies ‘Dumbfounded’ and ‘Disgusted’
European military veterans, families of the fallen, and politicians have voiced outrage after President Trump claimed the U.S. had “never needed” its NATO allies, and that allied troops had stayed “a little off the front lines” during the 20-year war in Afghanistan.
More than 2,200 American troops were killed in Afghanistan, according to the Pentagon. The Reuters news agency says 457 British military personnel, 150 Canadians and 90 French troops died alongside them. Denmark lost 44 troops in Afghanistan — in per capita terms, about the same death rate as that of the United States.

Davos Delivers an Electric Shock
This Davos felt like an electric shock treatment was being delivered to the international system… It’s been over a year of Trump throwing cold water on U.S. relations with some of our biggest allies. Until this week, European leaders were nearly bending over backward to please him…
But that world order is now endangered, if not already over… Look no further than leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron leaving Davos without even meeting Trump — a sign that officials who once rushed to try to get in front of Trump to shape his views are now questioning the utility of that approach.

Trump Fears He’s Losing Control of Immigration Message
The ongoing protests and images coming out of Minnesota have prompted concerns from some Trump administration officials over the optics of the immigration crackdown as Americans grow alarmed by the chaotic scenes unfolding in the state.
President Donald Trump has expressed frustration behind closed doors that the immigration messaging is getting lost… Trump has sought to take control of the narrative, starting with an impromptu press conference on the anniversary of his first year in office.

Defund Science, Distort Culture, Mock Education
Maybe there’s a broader goal, too: to build distrust, and, ultimately, to reshape all Americans’ perceptions of reality. I know that sounds dramatic, but I spent many years writing about authoritarian regimes, and almost all of them try to undermine admired institutions, in order to radically alter the way people think.
