Here is a quality piece from the NeverTrump magazine The Weekly Standard.
If Trump can withstand pressure from the US media, of which he has proven very capable, he will score tremendous victories for America in the form of trade concessions.
There are decades of unfair tarrifs on imports from the US all over the world. They were agreed to as a part of the post WWII effort to contain the USSR. We no longer need to buy those alliances. If Germany won't be our friend without taxing US goods 200+%, who needs friends?
The answer is, they will remain our friends, but under new conditions. Trump is going to score some once per generation victories for America in the coming months.
