America’s European allies no longer believe Trump’s ‘apoplectic’ threats
European allies are no longer taking angry threats from President Donald Trump all that seriously.
The U.S. president reportedly flew into an “apoplectic” rage in a phone call with British prime minister Boris Johnson, who agreed to a deal with Chinese telecoms company Huawei despite Trump’s threats to withdraw from an intelligence-sharing agreement, reported Business Insider.
Other allies in Europe are also ignoring Trump’s threats over Huawei.
Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats in Germany seem poised to reject a ban on the company, saying “state actors with sufficient resources can infiltrate the network of any equipment maker.”
Germany move came after Trump failed to follow through on his threats against the U.K., and even the U.S. president’s allies are calling the effort a failure.
“The biggest strategic defeat for the United States since the early days of World War II,” complained Newt Gingrich, the former Republican House speaker.

Trump repeatedly asked Reince Priebus if Wisconsin badgers are 'mean to people,' how they 'work,' and what they eat, according to a new book
During that time, Trump would often "waste Priebus's time" during briefings about foreign and domestic policy by pelting him with questions about badgers, the book says.
"After Trump was reminded that the short-legged omnivore was practically synonymous with the Badger State, he'd make a point of bringing it up at seemingly random occasions to his beleaguered chief of staff.
"'Are they mean to people?' Trump at least twice asked Priebus in the opening months of his presidency. 'Or are they friendly creatures?' The president would also ask if Priebus had any photos of badgers he could show him, and if Priebus could carefully explain to him how badgers 'work' exactly.
"He wanted Reince — resident White House badger historian, apparently — to explain to him Wisconsin's obsession with the animal, how the little critters function and behave, what kind of food they like, and how aggressive or deadly they could be when presented with perceived existential threats.
"Trump also wanted to know if the badger had a 'personality' or if it was boring. What kind of damage could a badger to do a person with its flashy, sharp claws?
"An obviously enthralled president would stare at Priebus as the aide struggled for sufficiently placating answers, all the while trying to gently veer the conversation back to whether we were going to do a troop surge in Afghanistan or strip millions of Americans of healthcare coverage."
At one point, the book says, he asked his space-policy advisers about garbage, posing questions like:

- "Where does it crash to earth?"
- "What exactly is up there, circling the globe?"
- "Who, or what, is creating all this space garbage?"
- "Is this a national security threat?"
