The strange thing is that Trump is so focused on deportation that he is even easily being played.
For example he started to love the German Chancellor Merz after he told Trump he would deport more people too… he increased the number from 190 to 202 people per month. Most of them were sitting in jail for various crimes and would have been deported after their sentence anyway but it was enough to impress Trump.
Or the fact that the EU promised to invest 600 billion over the next ten years in the US… which is actually a lot less than they invested before.
Or the tarrifs… the EU might not take tariffs but has put so much paperwork on US imports it becomes almost impossible to import stuff from the US into the EU directly.
Lets face it, Trump does this for the clicks, not for Realpolitik and is being played by Realpoliticians like a piano.
