Russia can end the war today by leaving Ukraine.

6/ Finally, when it comes to security - Trump's tepid and uncertain support for Ukraine, dubious commitment to NATO and general "not my monkeys/circus" approach all means he's visibly feeding arsenic to his most important hostage.

5/ Trump's favourability rating in Europe being at a pretty low ebb in many countries massively increases the price for being seen to accomodate him one iota more than is necessary.

1/ Trump may of course respond to this by freaking out and issuing all sorts of tariff threats.
However as with giving up Greenland I really don't think the EU can afford the precedent of a criminal investigation at the member state level being unwound through threats to tax US citizen purchases.

BREAKING: 8 more U.S. Attorneys in MN resign from Trump’s DOJ in protest as backlash grows.
This isn’t normal; isn’t routine reshuffling. It’s a rebellion.
Last month, 6 veteran prosecutors quit in protest. Normal staffing for the MN DOJ’s office is around 50 attorneys. They’re down to just 9.

Yes. This is true of ALL these dudes
I think that the crucial insight for dealing with Trump is that he has never experienced any meaningful consequences in his entire life and as a result, deterrence does not work on him the way it does for others.
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"
