"Merkel, After Discordant G-7 Meeting, Is Looking Past Trump"

BERLIN — Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany, Europe’s most influential leader, has concluded, after three days of trans-Atlantic meetings, that the United States of President Trump is not the reliable partner her country and the Continent have automatically depended on in the past.

Clearly disappointed with Mr. Trump’s positions on NATO, Russia, climate change and trade, Ms. Merkel said in Munich on Sunday that traditional alliances were no longer as steadfast as they once were and that Europe should pay more attention to its own interests “and really take our fate into our own hands.”

Trump will weaken US relations around the world.
 
This maybe the beginning of the union of the bear with the leopard and lion.
The Leopard is the heart of the kingdom, the lion is the head and the Bear are the soldiers.
Europe the Leopard, Great Britain the Lion and Russia the Bear, the last Roman empire.
 
I feel like you're reaching.

You are most likely correct but it is an interesting thought worth keeping an eye on, I think that there may come some type of economic union between Russia, Europe and Great Britain which could only come about by the USA being side lined which maybe happening.
 
In all likelihood, we're only seeing the beginning of the damage Trump will do to our alliances.

Trump or Hillary
Joker or Clown
They are only show ponies for the money and military world leaders
Either way the world is screwed
Hillary would have murdered the people of Syria by now and caused conflict with Russia. As the yanks have already sold the rights to all the oil of Syria and the buyers on selling it to the Kurds the Americans with their band of willing to murder coalition have to finish the job, they are obligated by financial contract to do so

And they will cheer him on as he does it.

I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.” ― Søren Kierkegaard, Either/Or, Part I

I do believe my prediction from world leaders was they would be thinking "and we thought the Bush Jr. was bad."

Uhm no. The UK is on its way out and is generally disliked throughout the continent.

And Russia? The reason for more cooperation in the EU is the fear of Russia.
Tell me about it, eh. It's hard to blame Trump for damaging a relationship that has been in tatters for years.

If this is also a reference in regards to the Obama administration, you are so wrong as the Europeans liked them far more than with the Bush and now the Trump administrations.

I wonder if Crimea has any problems with violent Islamist's gang raping their woman in public ?
...

Are you seriously trying to excuse Putin's breaking of countless treaties by forcibly occupying the Crimea with "well at least this thing that sometimes happens in places isn't happening in the totalitarian police state!"? There weren't any complaints about Gypsies in Germany during the 1940s either, you want to point that out as a highlight of the Holocaust too?
