Donald Trump and Brexit are turning Europeans against the USA and UK

US President Donald Trump is upsetting the Europeans:

Trump May Go Too Far in Alienating Europe

The next EU election cycle could be far more anti-American than the last.

President Donald Trump has been determined to confront the U.S.’s European allies on every issue of importance, from trade to climate change to the multilateral deal with Iran. As politicians and publics on this side of the Atlantic become increasingly wary, it’s worth asking whether he really wants allies at all. …

The mockingly bromantic body language of Trump’s interactions with Macron and his infuriating condescension toward Merkel send the same message: Give me what I want or don’t bother to show up. The latter option would be a scary leap for European politicians, who have treasured the transatlantic alliance since the late 1940s. But the European public and thought leaders might feel differently.

The favorability of the U.S. (the country, not the administration) is at 46 percent in France and 35 percent in Germany, according to the Pew Research Center. That was the lowest since 2008 05/01/18 https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2018-05-01/trump-risks-going-too-far-in-alienating-u-s-s-european-allies

From the moment Trump’s shocking election victory was announced in November 2016, the response of German officialdom, media, and the public has been a mix of moralism and hysteria. …

At a campaign rally the following year, Merkel delivered an even blunter message. “The era in which we could fully rely on others is over to some extent,” she told a Munich beer hall after attending a G7 summit where both Trump and Brexit loomed large. “We Europeans truly have to take our fate into our own hands — naturally in friendship with the United States of America, in friendship with Great Britain. … But we have to know that we Europeans must fight for our own future and destiny.” …

In Donald Trump, Germans feel that they have lost their illusions about America. 04/24/18 http://foreignpolicy.com/2018/04/24/merkel-has-disastrously-bungled-her-relationship-with-trump/

What Trump Means for Germany’s Future

The cracks in trans-Atlantic relations caused by Donald Trump’s election provide an opportunity for Germany to finally forge ahead with its own foreign policy. One that draws Europe together and fights for what is right. …

‘A Wake-Up Call’

Wolfgang Ischinger, the head of the Munich Security Conference, an annual event in Germany that draws top military and political figures from around the world, says it is necessary to establish a “joint European foreign policy. We will only be perceived as being relevant if we speak with one voice. Majority decisions would be sensible. If 27 countries want something but one country does not, then that country should not be able to block it. It would be worth its weight in gold if Germany were to indicate that it is prepared for this change.” Ischinger says that the current trans-Atlantic crisis provides a “extremely good opportunity, a wake-up call.”

Political scientist Herfried Münkler sees the situation similarly but ultimately differently. “The U.S. has realized that it is no longer capable of projecting its power in both the Atlantic and the Pacific regions. After 1945, the U.S. was able to do so in the Atlantic region without having to resort to war. In the Pacific, it waged two wars. That they are focusing on the Pacific region today means that their experience has led them to invest a great deal of effort. That means – both in terms of self-interest, because of the economic dynamics, and in terms of geopolitical considerations, because they have Europe as a trusted power in the Atlantic region — that a slow process of American disengagement is taking place as well as the release of Europe into self-reliance.”

And, finally, German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen pleads for some realism in dealings with the U.S. “Obama may have charmed us all, but he also left the world largely on its own in Afghanistan and elsewhere. Adoration is just as childish as revulsion. Maturity would be better.”

This article has been adapted from the introduction to DER SPIEGEL Editor-in-Chief Klaus Brinkbäumer’s new book “An Obituary for America: The End of a Friendship and the Future of the West,” released in German in March by the publishing house S. Fischer. http://www.spiegel.de/international/world/trump-and-the-future-of-the-trans-atlantic-relationship-a-1203549.html

Notice that the last article came from a book titled “An Obituary for America: The End of a Friendship and the Future of the West.”

In a sense, that title says it all: Europe is going to one day stop being a “friend” to the USA (and the UK for that matter).

And it will be Europe that will be the military force to eliminate the USA (Daniel 11:39) and cause its ‘obituary’ to be written.

The Bible actually teaches that “friends” will destroy a power that sounds like the USA in Lamentations 1:1-2.

As far as the UK goes, Brexit is an irritant to the EU. The Europeans will not forgive the UK for Brexit–the rising European Beast power will eliminate the UK one day (cf. Daniel 8:24-25).

As far as European views of Brexit, notice the following:

The above is how Brexit was shown on an English-language test in a school in Germany (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/may/04/project-fantasy-german-exam-question-debates-brexit-reality).

In my book, Donald Trump and America’s Apocalypse, I wrote the following:

It is my position that trade disputes will be a factor in Europe taking military action against the U.S.A. one day. …

Donald Trump has often encouraged increased military spending by the Europeans. And while American taxpayers may see this as a good thing, this increased spending will help lead to the rise of the prophesied King of the North, who is to be the final leader of the Beast of Revelation (Revelation 13:1-10). Unlike his predecessors, Donald Trump has threatened to not defend nations in Europe if they will not increase their military spending. This approach has greatly concerned various leaders in Europe. Donald Trump is helping enable the rise of the King of the North/Beast power who will be in league with the final Antichrist.

Donald Trump’s rise has also spurred the Europeans to further unify among themselves, especially when combined with the Brexit vote that Donald Trump encouraged. While the Bible shows the Europeans will have difficulties being together (Daniel 2:41-43), it also shows that they will reorganize and unite (Revelation 17:12-13). Donald Trump has been pointed to by various European leaders as ‘proof’ that Europe needs more unification and distance from the USA. (Thiel B. Donald Trump and America’s Apocalypse. Nazarene Books, 2017)

The fact of Brexit and the EU’s response to it have been pushing the Brits to conclude that they need to move closer to the USA, and farther from Europe, on trade and other matters.

The fact of Donald Trump has been to push the Europeans to increase military cooperation and to move further away from the USA.

Despite what American politicians state, the world, under European influence, will turn against the USA (cf. Daniel 11:39; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses). We are seeing more turn more against the USA and the UK.

Change, consistent with what the Bible prophesies, is happening in Europe.

Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate.

Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union.
