WASHINGTON – Like a bull who keeps returning to the china shop, President Donald Trump is headed back to Europe, where on previous visits he has strained historic friendships and insulted his hosts. A year ago, Trump played the ungracious guest, blasting May in an interview just hours before Air Force One touched down in England. I think he would be excellent,” Trump told The Sun, the same publication to which he gave an interview last summer. After Dublin balked, a deal was struck for Trump to meet Prime Minister Leo Varadkar at Shannon’s airport. Just days later, in Helsinki, Trump rattled European capitals by publicly siding with Russian President Vladimir Putin over his own intelligence agencies.
