he definitely did some damage to american soft power, but i suspect his goal was to concentrate it from several agencies into a single one.

that plus very clear indicators like von der leyen's capitulation to trumps trade demands; macron's & starmer's refusal to comply w the arrests warrant for netanyahu; germany and the uk criminalizing support for the palestinians; and the spanish, greek & irish government's public theater supporting the global sumud flotilla only to betray it at the last second suggests that europe is still doing what the united states wants it to do.
