And so ends any real transatlantic alliance/axis of superiority/post-war consensus/special relationship!

The Europeans aren't going to change unless the public either manage to vote them all out or decide to indulge in drastic civil action/take up arms. And the EU bureacrats are elected anyway so they aren't going anywhere in a hurry.

Trump made it clear that it was America he intended Making Great Again, not any western allies, and it looks like most Americans of either political leaning are willing to let him give it a go. Things couldn't go on in the States as they were so what was the alternative?

Things can't go on like they are here in the UK or on the continent but it's not so easy to change the political landscapes over here.
