Everything this idiot says tends to be the opposite. And frankly, I can see it.
The Europe I see (as a Canadian, with immigrant parents from Portugal) is the same Europe I’ve always seen; It has it’s share of problems, sure. But for the most part, they’re older, with a lot more history to draw from, and as a result are just more level headed than the idiot teenagers revving their engine and trying to pick bar fights that is America.
Europe as a continent has been through enough shit that they’ve kind of, as a culture, learned to say “woah…okay…let’s take a step back and look at this a bit before deciding to be an asshole.” Canada kind of inherited some of that by virtue of sticking in the commonwealth longer and having a peaceful transition to independence instead of kicking our feet and threatening to move out at 16 like some bratty teenage countries did.
(Apropos of nothing, I also think that this is sort of the problem with a lot of Eastern Bloc countries. With the fall of the Soviet Union, a lot of them (Russia Included) were kicked out on their own all of a sudden and are essentially entering the teenage years of their independence)
Does that mean Europe is perfect? No…of course not. Far from it.
But they’re a hell of a lot more put together and strong than the U.S. is at the moment.
It’s indisputable that Trump is weak and decaying. He can hardly summon the energy to shit himself anymore, and his speeches are even more ignorant free-associative blithering than they used to be.
I have to politely disagree with your opinion of Europe being more mature and level-headed. They seem that way now, but they’ve repeatedly fucked over one another throughout history. They aren’t magically immune to internal/external bullshit just because it’s been around longer.

Trump is projecting, as usual.

History is a nightmare from which we’re all trying to awake.
Go back a hundred years or more, and there was hardly any peace or justice anywere in the world.
