Today Politico — the designated outlet for the Deep State 51 — named President Trump the most influential figure shaping European politics in the year ahead, a recognition previously conferred on leaders including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. In anticipation of the recognition, Trump gave Politico’s Dasha Burns a 45-minute interview in the White House. Alexander Burns reports on the interview in “Trump thrashes European leaders in wide-ranging interview: ‘I think they’re weak.’” They’re weak on the international stage, but they are thugs at home. Trump observes: “They talk, but they don’t produce.”
Trump’s new National Security Strategy is one subject of the interview. We will have to take a look at it. Politico covered it here....

Yes, send all the Somalians home except her.
Send her butt to the Supermax. But only after the fair trial, mind you.
Tariff them to hell until they wake the F up....
The Starmer, Macron and Merz urinal screens seem like great Trump merchandise items.
I saw an intriguing reply the other day: it’s generally accepted that the leaders in the run up to WWII were weak because they were so horrified by WWI that they wanted to avoid a repeat at any cost. But what if it’s worse than that: what if courage and initiative are innate, hereditary and a big number of the courageous bloodlines were wiped out in the two wars. It would explain the actions of the current leaders
If Trump had said the above the first time he ran for office, 300 newspapers and magazines would have demanded an apology. Now, the left knows we have freedom of speech - just like they've had all along. It's a better world when both Trump and Jasmine Crockett can say what they want to say.
