CMV: Trump wants to destroy the EU, because the EU is how the AI future should be

1. North EU has better outcomes for average citizens across almost all quality-of-life metrics (not raw economic metrics!) — democracy, health, economic security, work-life balance, criminal justice, education.
2. I do not say it is better than the US. I am just saying that it is better for the average citizen. Clearly USA is technologically more advanced, but that doesnt help the average citizen.
3. For me destory means that the live for the average citizen would be better than USA. Therefore, it would not be an ideological competition anymore.
4. So I assume that the EU is the biggest risk for Trump strategy. Therefore I believe that they are willing to give up the EU alliance and EU strength.
5. I believe he will use propaganda to force anti euorpean governments in power and destroy the EU ideology by doing so. EU doesnt need to be the strongest economy to be a danger for Trump it just needs to be better for the average citizen.
