In two days he threatened to bomb Iran again, screamed at Europe for blocking his Greenland obsession, called Spain \"a terrible partner,\" and trashed half the alliance for skipping his war — then spread his arms and declared it all a lovefest of \"tremendous love.\" This week's Elephant in the Room, Rick Wilson breaks down the clown show. Here's what the spin can't hide: our allies aren't laughing with him — they're backing away. Rick gets into what it actually costs when a president treats the most powerful alliance on earth like his personal roast: the credibility bleeding out, the adversaries taking notes, the friends who've quietly stopped counting on us. Greenland grabs, Iran threats, insulted partners, and a standing ovation he gave himself. It'd be hilarious if it weren't our national security. • • • • • Rick Wilson is @TheRickWilson and Substack at therickwilson.substack.com . More from LP at www.lincolnproject.us and @ProjectLincoln.
