That there is any meaningful, if any at all, expectations in Europe for DT to "come to his senses."

There two groups ...

Other right wingers who love the blow everything up mindset and are all for whatever DT does and those who know he is exactly what he is. How they deal with that varies - what you may take as them waiting for him to come to his senses may be pragmatic telling him what he wants to hear while doing what they need to on the down low.
