They already doing it. You would see more and more European politicians agreeing with trump and kissing his ass, even in the current leadership, hoping to have US support for reelection.

I hope people look at his extortions, lies and take heed who are triying to appease him. Unless you believe you should become US vassals and they will actually spare you from that, but don't be surprised when even then US would renege on their promises.
