This seems to be what most of the EU leaders think. However, it's not plausible that Trump is an aberration, given that he's been elected twice. Europe/EU/the West need to understand that the US populace doesn't seem to care about their alliances any more. And this is fine, that's their total democratic right, but there's going to be really large downstream consequences over time.
