Here's the stark impact that Trump's victory will have on Europe's fractured politics
10 November 2016
CNBC
But Ian Bond, director of foreign policy at the Centre for European Reform, told CNBC via phone that attempts by European nationalist politicians to claim they – and Trump - are outsiders from the political establishment is a misleading representation – even if effective. According to Bond, "To portray Trump's victory as a revolt against the elite is misleading. Trump's father was an enormous property developer and he has risen by exploiting the system himself."
USA: W kampanii Donald Trump nie krył sceptycyzmu wobec UE

Obawy w Europie wzbudziły też jego wypowiedzi o możliwym wycofaniu się USA z NATO i nazwanie tej organizacji "przestarzałym" sojuszem, który kosztuje USA "majątek". Od tego czasu zdążył wycofać się z tych słów, zapewniając, że "całkowicie popiera NATO", jednak zdaniem ekspertów jego słowa wyrządziły szkodę. "Jego sympatia dla Putina i transakcyjne podejście do obrony Europy powinno być powodem do niepokoju dla każdego państwa w Europie, które w kwestii obrony polega na NATO" - zaznacza Sophia Besch z think tanku Centre for European Reform.

"It is true, everything seems possible these days," said Agata Gostyńska, EU Institutions research fellow at the Centre for European Reform, a pro-EU think-tank. "But on the other hand, there is some pattern with populists. They are really sharp at gaining power when on the outside, but when they get into power and are constrained by real politics they tend not be so successful."
Onzekerheid over Trump brengt EU verder in vertwijfeling

Volgens Rem Korteweg van het Centre for European Reform in Londen maakt Trumps 'transactionele mentaliteit' het goed denkbaar dat Trump deals gaat sluiten met 'andere stevige mannen'. Dat speelt leiders als Poetin, Erdogan en Assad in de kaart. 'Dan komen we helemaal terug in een negentiende-eeuws model van invloedssferen, waarin instellingen en multilaterale organisaties geen rol spelen.'
Could a Donald Trump win destroy the EU? Security and trade instability may devastate bloc

Nevertheless Sophia Besch, a research fellow at the Centre for European Reform, said: "Europe's security is at stake in these US elections. Trump has publicly questioned the solidarity commitment that is at the heart of the NATO alliance, declaring US support conditional on Europeans increasing their own defence budgets. His proximity to Putin and transactional approach to defending Europe should be of deep concern to every European state that depends on NATO’s protection."
