First slide of an Instagram carousel summarizing Heather Cox Richardson's Letters from an American, April 18, 2026. A curly-haired dog is pictured in a teal circle on the left. Text reads: “Today, Heather explains that Trump's increasingly erratic behavior — from apocalyptic threats to attacks on Pope Leo XIV — is alienating not just retired generals and diplomats, but even his former right-wing allies in Europe, where leaders like Italy's Giorgia Meloni are calling his conduct "unacceptable" and polls show his unfavorability ratings reaching as high as 86%.”
