As bad as Trump's craziness is, it does have a silver lining: this is Europe's chance to wean off the US - both the military protection provided by the US and US technology. It's decades overdue.

Europe absolutely needs to be its own superpower and stand on its own two feet, both militarily and technologically, and I reckon Trump is the incitation it needed.
