Europe dominated the morning with three commanding foursomes victories for a 3-1 cushion, then added 2.5 more points in the afternoon four-balls to tighten their grip on Bethpage Black, finishing the day with a 5.5-2.5 advantage.
"Incredible day," Europe captain Luke Donald said. "Winning this morning was huge for us. Guys grinded to win the session this afternoon. Love where we are. I'm so proud of these guys."
Top-ranked Scottie Scheffler and US star Bryson DeChambeau lost twice in a key blow to the American cause.
"No matter who it is, the scoreboard is what counts," Fleetwood said. "We felt very prepared. To have gotten off to a good start feels great."
US captain Keegan Bradley, who said he expected a turnaround when Trump arrived to watch in the afternoon, was searching for answers.
