SOFIA, Bulgaria — A top European Union official branded President Donald Trump selfish and capricious Wednesday as E.U. leaders met to count the likely economic damage U.S. policies might inflict on the bloc and to try to rescue the Iran nuclear deal.
In a striking rhetorical assault on the leader of Europe's biggest ally, E.U. Council President Donald Tusk said, given Trump's recent decisions, "someone could even think 'with friends like that, who needs enemies?'"
"Frankly speaking, Europe should be grateful to President Trump because thanks to him we have got rid of all illusions. He has made us realize that if you need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of your arm," Tusk said.

Thom, do you believe that
Thom, do you believe that other European leaders feel differently? Merkel expressed a similar opinion a year ago...
Following Trump’s trip, Merkel says Europe can’t rely on ‘others.’ She means the U.S.
LONDON — German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Sunday declared a new chapter in U.S.-European relations after contentious meetings with President Trump last week, saying that Europe "really must take our fate into our own hands."
It was the toughest review yet of Trump's trip to Europe, which inflamed tensions rather than healed them after the U.S. president sparred with the leaders of Washington's closest and oldest allies on trade, defense and climate change.
Merkel, Europe's de facto leader, told a packed beer hall rally in Munich that the days when her continent could rely on others was "over to a certain extent. This is what I have experienced in the last few days."

Trump tweets are a good way to see if the investigation has done anything to stop Trump.
Not yet.

So, a member of a DBMB elite who supports Trump and Putin doesn't like the EU?

^no doubt, Slack, but the 6 guilty pleas are evidence that this is a legitimate investigation.
And each of those who have pled guilty is now a cooperating witness for the prosecution. So odds are there will be more people charged/convicted.
