Every once in a while someone has an idea that makes a great deal of sense. Here is such an idea.
Even the Swamp Party would like to find a way to circumvent Trump's disastrous foreign policies, especially with our allies in Europe and Canada.
No one wants a trade war. Even Trump's hardcore base is concerned, as well they should be. Many of them will be adversely effected by a trade war. Congress is reportedly working to on a way to limit Trump's ill-conceived trade wars. Problem is Trump does not care as long as he is not going to lose money. So what if most Americans and much of his base takes it in the shorts. Congress will likely remain impotent.
Trump rules by fiat and for the most part the GOP cowers in fear. Don't look for Congress to find a reasonable and prompt way out.

Donald Trump has opened the largest rift between the US and its European allies since George W Bush’s illegal invasion of Iraq. From the Paris accord, to the Iran nuclear deal, to pushing for the inclusion of Russia in a G8, the US president has demonstrated no regard for Europe’s security interests. Europe, in turn, has failed to understand how to deter Trump from sabotaging the transatlantic axis. Currently, Europe is considering sanctions and tariffs on US companies. It shouldn’t. To stop Trump and protect its interests, Europe should sanction Trump himself instead.[FONT="]Since taking office, Trump has systematically undermined Europe while damaging the US national interest. Precisely because Washington’s European allies want to preserve the transatlantic relationship – unlike Trump – they have been hesitant to push back hard.[/FONT]
[FONT="]But in its caution, Europe has fallen for a false hope: the belief that Trump can be appeased, that he can be reasoned with and that he can be convinced to abandon his current path with logic. Essentially, Europe has failed to understand that Trump cares more about himself than his country. Like a dictator of a developing country, Trump is less concerned with the prosperity of American families or the country as a whole than with enriching himself and his family businesses.
