This is John Batchelor, conversation with my good colleague Gregory Coppley, Defense and Foreign Affairs,

about how Europe, how Asia, how the American allies see the felony conviction of former President Donald Trump and what this means for

their interpretation of the election cycle in the US now underway.

Gregory points to right away how Europe sees Trump before now and later.

This is Gregory Coppley on the European opinion observation, vision, guess about former President Trump on the campaign

trail accused and convicted of being a felon. More of this later. I think that weaknesses

already occurred over the past few years, including by the way the previous

time that President Trump was in office.

I think he alienated a number of the Europeans by literally calling them out for their weakness

and their lack of defense preparedness, which has all been coming to bear fruit.

The weakness in Europe politically and militarily is now profoundly evident, and they resent former President Trump for having brought that to

everyone's attention and of course they denied it at the time.

Yes there's this knee-jerk reaction to him in most Western countries, not all but in most

because they are literally buying the propaganda out of the US that you know

President Trump is unstable and and somehow President Biden who got us into a

number of wars is not as unstable as President Trump.
