Remember when Trump ridiculed the press at his rallies and called them the enemy of the people? It had consequences. https://t.co/lMEe7eUPxc — PolitiTweet.org

Bush and Cheney did this after 2001. They particularly wanted raw intel related to Iraq. Worked out fine iirc. https://t.co/GrAqSP5lKR — PolitiTweet.org

This legacy is why, per @KSchultz3580, allies are starting to wonder if the problem isn't Trump, it's American voters. And thus permanent. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Iraq is why you see US allies still skeptical, still ready to doubt the alliance and to defy the US. Trump is tapping into all that. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

The American debate over Iraq was so politicized that we mistook the damage to our alliances as just a partisan talking point. It wasn't. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Americans are oblivious to this. We wrongly remember European objections to Iraq as purely political, or see them thru our own partisan lens — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

In the UK, Iraq damaged not just the US alliance but Britain's global role, maybe permanently. Again, Trump is surfacing something deeper. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

The Iraq war comes up over and over in my conversations with Euro officials. A lingering doubt about US leadership, which Trump has surfaced — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Particularly among European allies and Australia, there is still a sense of distrust and skepticism toward the US over the Iraq invasion. — PolitiTweet.org

One crucial piece of context getting lost in assessing Trump's damage to American alliances: the still-healing wounds from GW Bush's tenure. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

All to say: Merkel's comment didn't come out of nowhere. Germans have spent months contemplating – and preparing for – a break with the US. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

This is why there's growing European discussion of an extreme option to replace US commitments: a Euro nukes program https://t.co/M9mA8gTRpS — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Europe's hard line against Russia, which Germany only barely held with US help, seems like the likeliest thing Berlin will have to give up. — PolitiTweet.org
