TRUMP: “Most European nations — they’re decaying… They’re destroying their country. It gets to a point where you can’t really correct it… It will mean that they will no longer be strong nations… The people coming in have a totally different ideology.”
But…“I want to run the United States. I don’t want to run Europe.”
Among the more notable and amusing moments from President Trump’s newly published interview with Politico is when he stated that NATO officials refer to him as “Daddy” after being proven right on the need to bolster collective defense funding through increased European budgets.
This tough approach, heavily vocalized during his first term – and subject of immense pushback from European leaders at the time, is now by and large being belatedly (and now urgently) embraced as Europe ramps up defense investments amid the griding Russia-Ukraine war.
“NATO calls me Daddy,” Trump said in the interview, highlighting that Europe has relied much too heavily on American military might and funding for decades.
Europe’s leaders are destroying Europe.
President Trump warned European leaders that their countries will completely fail if they continue pursuing suicidal green energy policies and allowing unvetted mass migration.
