18. Ending democracy is not his primary goal.

His primary goal is being the richest and most powerful man in the world.
He has to ruin democracy to achieve these goals, but that is secondary to his primary goals.

He likes invading countries that are resource rich and he can do a smash and grab.
And where no one will stop him.

He also loves to trick and trap people, back them into a corner to harm them.
Make it hard for them to fight back.

I am not sure he can do that with Europe.
And there are too many other low hanging fruit countries available to him.

I am not saying it is impossible for Trump to go after Europe, I just think it is not high probability.
That said he is crazy enough to do anything right now. Nothing would surprise me.
