Conservative broadcaster Erick Erickson wrote on his Substack that President Donald Trump's threats against NATO to takeover Greenland are "beneath the dignity of the Presidency and [are] shameful."
In a Substaclk piece Tuesday, Erickson blamed Trump's advisors who believe in an "alienation is a strategy."
Those advisors, unlike during Trump's first term, tend to be "isolationists [that] come from the Vice President's team and are surrounding the President," wrote Erickson. "In both the first Trump Administration and now, they have worked to poison the American relationship with the Europeans."
He noted that it wasn't long ago that Trump met with far-right host Tucker Carlson, who has "savaged NATO and praised Russia."
"Good luck come November if this persists," Erickson told the Republican Party.
He attributes the complacency of GOP leaders to years spent online in "a multi-year systematic campaign to poison us on social media with European elite excesses."
He noted that they have already alienated Canada to such a degree that Canadian newspapers reported Tuesday that the military is developing military plans for a war with the Americans.
"They have alienated Mexico. And they have also p—— off Jerome Powell and the Federal Reserve," Erickson wrote.
Trump sent a letter to Norway on Sunday night complaining that he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize and as such doesn't feel that invested in peace anymore.
Erickson called it Trump "at his worst."
"It is belittling jacka—— to a friend and ally. It is unbecoming of the President of the United States. But some will undoubtedly defend it, dismiss it, or try to excuse it all away," he wrote. "By the way, the Norwegian government does not issue the Nobel Peace Prize."
