I like that idea, but in the case of X I’m not sure that hitting it commercially is enough. Musk seems happy to run his disinformation megaphone at a loss, as long as he can use it to his benefit.

And if it came to that, and the alternative is that the US leaves Europe to its own devices militarily, I think many would go for it. Imagine that. The US military as effectively a mercenary force to those who are willing to pay.
Is it unthinkable? What do you think?

I think a very Trump thing to do instead would be to offer US troops and protection to European countries on a paid basis. “You don’t want to spend? No problem. Pay us for protection instead”. It would satisfy Trump’s need for a fair deal, and he’d be seen to be winning.
