> This 'reasoning' explains why the predominent sentiment in Europe is now: 'Bye bye USA'.

Do you mean the people? They don't matter, the EU is not a democracy that has to answer to its people.

Do you mean the leaders? They just signed a treaty to agree to 10x tariffs for their goods, 0% tariffs for the USA's good, and to buy a trillion dollar's worth of energy and arms. Doesn't sound like "bye bye USA".
