Trump "spent the first year of his presidency doing everything he could to degrade America’s relationship with its European allies in particular, undermine the NATO alliance, threaten territorial acquisition against a NATO member, just all kinds of destructive things. And so you shouldn’t be surprised that when you bully people and then you come to them hat in hand for help, they say: No thanks. Not going to do it":

"In the two weeks since the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran, Pres. Donald Trump increasingly has grown more agitated with news coverage and has failed to find a way to explain why he started the war — or how he will end it — that resonates with a public concerned by American deaths in the conflict, surging oil prices, and dropping financial markets. His overall poll numbers are declining":
