Europe needs to step up now as Trump is ambivalent if not outright hostile to the organisation which really has helped keep the peace in Europe.

Not sure what else. So much of Trump's platform scares me. I think his attitude towards minorities and women is abhorrent. His desire to deport all undocumented migrants is unrealistic. His wall is unrealistic. His promises to communities are unachievable (opening coal mines in a country soaring on natural gas?!)

I think we're still seeing the after effects of 2008 but we thought America was immune because no country has recovered better than they have.

Not sure what else to say
l basically sadly agree with everything you have said there Damien.
