European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker today (30 March) warned US President Donald Trump that he would support ‘Texit’, Texas breaking away from the US, if the flamboyant millionaire kept backing Brexit.
He delivered the astonishing slapdown the day after the UK triggered Article 50, the legal process to take Britain out of the bloc. Trump has been a vocal and enthusiastic supporter of Brexit.
During a speech at the European People’s Party (EPP) summit in Malta, Juncker issued a stinging rebuke to Trump and insisted Brexit would not spell the end of the EU.
“Brexit is not the end,” said the former prime minister of Luxembourg/ “A lot of people would like it that way. Even people on other continents where the recently elected US president was happy that Brexit was taking place and has asked other countries to do the same. If he goes on like that I am going to promote the independence of Ohio and Austin Texas in America,” Juncker said to applause from EPP members.

Jean-Claude JUNKer.
Not sure if Junkie knows how the States work
Brexit is already a fact homo. Your move.
OMG this guy is funny. I’ll bet big bucks this guy has never been to Texas
Tell this schmuck that the British did just fine in trashing the EU without help from The Donald.
Having the leader of globalist government named Juncker is like something straight out of Atlas Shrugged.
Junker also claimed that he wanted to help OHIO, of all states, to leave the USA. LOL
lol. I don’t think he knows how anything works.
I DO think he wants to be dictator of Europe.
Leading the EU army to victory everywhere :)
Interesting. If I were a betting man, I’d bet President Trump has more influence in the European Union than Junker has in the State of Texas. Still, it’s irrelevant at this point as the Brits have voted, and PM May has initiated the process.

He can call his mother an armadillo for all the difference it could possibly make to us! The hubris is suffocating. Junk-boy got some reality to deal with...
AIDS medication obviously effects the thought processes.
yeah I didn’t think of that. What’s Trump go to do with Brexit.
I think Brexit vote was BEFORE ours :)
Globalist idiot whose empire is falling apart issues baseless threat that there is no way in bloody hell he can back up. Ohio? Texas? Any reason he picked those two other than complete ignorance of U.S. politics? Time for the looney bin.
Really quite outrageous, even if said in jest as some have claimed.
Or 1984
Interesting that if France, with Le Pen, exits, then Britain, France, the US and Russia will be (more or less) on one side (the nationalists) and the Germans, Austrians, and Italians will be on the EU side.
Or, as we used to call it, the Axis.
It’s a genuinely big threat, since he carries a great deal of influence with the common american citizen.
/s
We fought a bloody war brother v brother to keep the nation together what we do to the EUroweenies if they tried this?
Send a Taxas Ranger to tell Junker, TSTHU!!!!
