@tracegallagher Steak and lobster dinners are the least we can do for our troops who are doing the most they can do for us! It is priceless!

NIGHTCAP QUESTION: Democrats are up in arms that the Pentagon occasionally treats troops to steak and lobster dinners. Veterans like Fox News contributor Joey Jones say it's a key morale booster. Does that expense upset you?

@Microinteracti1 @vonderleyen how 'bout pre-planning, as you point out...in case it is needed and keep an open mind and hear Trump out. the dick measuring contest can commence any time.

Europe has to stop playing defense. What is happening now is not strategy, it is reflex. Trump throws out a threat in the middle of the night. Europe wakes up. Emergency meetings. Carefully worded statements. Hope it blows over. Then repeat. This loop is not just weak, it is predictable. And Trump feeds on predictability. Trump understands one thing better than most European leaders: whoever controls the tempo controls the power. He does not need consistency. He does not need logic. He needs momentum. As long as Europe keeps reacting, he owns the narrative. That has to end. Europe must flip the table and move three weeks ahead. Not with one response, but with a rolling sequence of actions that never lets Trump settle. The goal is to seize initiative and force the other side to react. Start with trade. Announce a European tariff framework worth one trillion euros. A prepared package ready for activation. Markets react immediately. American CEOs call Washington. Pressure builds before Trump even tweets. Then pause. Let the noise rise. Let Trump overreact. Next move: restrict Nvidia (just an example, nothing against Nvidia) from European public sector procurement. No drama. Just regulatory reality. Europe is the world’s largest advanced market. Access is a privilege, not a right! Then target Facebook (example). Enforce data rules fully. Impose fines that actually hurt. Introduce operational constraints that make life uncomfortable. Then more tariffs, this time surgical. Iconic American exports. Products that matter politically, not economically. The message is simple: every move has a cost. Then security. Europe talks far too softly about its own strength. Signal readiness to deploy 100,000 European troops to NATO’s eastern border. Follow with a European force deployment to Greenland. Ten thousand troops. European flag. European command. Ownership matters. And keep going. Announce a review of US access to European defense supply chains. Freeze selected energy contracts. Open discussions on pricing key commodities in euros instead of dollars. Invite Asian tech firms into sectors where US companies are suddenly “under review.” Tighten scrutiny of US corporate tax structures across the EU. Delay certifications. Launch investigations. Always legal. Always coordinated. The brilliance of this approach is that not everything needs to be executed. What matters is momentum. Trump struggles when he cannot monopolize chaos. When pressure comes from multiple directions, on a schedule he does not control, he loses his footing. Right now the pattern is embarrassing. Trump threatens. Europe panics. Europe convenes. Europe reassures itself. Repeat. Trump knows this script by heart. Europe does not need to shout louder. It needs to move first. It is about balance. Trump does not respect appeals to values or stability. He respects power, leverage, and uncertainty. And look at who he chooses to hassle. It is not Putin, not Netanyahu, not Erdogan, and not other hard nosed leaders who project force and certainty. He goes after Europeans, and he even tried it with Mark Carney until Mark hit back hard,, and earned respect. That is the pattern. He presses where he senses mumbling, process, and deference, and he backs off when the response is fast, blunt, and costly. Europe needs fewer paper driven administrators and more leaders who act decisively and impose consequences, because that is the only language he reliably respects.

In Davos, I met with a bipartisan delegation from the United States Congress. We discussed our shared efforts to achieve a just and lasting peace in Ukraine. This process benefits from strong EU–US coordination, from security guarantees to a pathway to prosperity. I also addressed the need to unequivocally respect the sovereignty of Greenland and of the Kingdom of Denmark. This is of utmost importance to our transatlantic relationship. At the same time, the European Union remains ready to continue working closely with the United States, NATO, and other allies, in close cooperation with Denmark, to advance our shared security interests. We also discussed transatlantic trade and investment. They are a major asset for both the EU and US economies. Tariffs run counter to these shared interests.
