Macron to Europe: We need to become ‘omnivores’ after Trump’s victory
Politico ^ | 11/7/2024 | Nicholas Vinocur, Clea Caulcutt and Barbara Moens

Europe can’t be the world’s “herbivore” anymore following Donald Trump’s reelection as the United States president, according to Emmanuel Macron. It needs to become an “omnivore” instead.

The French president’s comments come a day after Trump swept to a resounding victory in the U.S. presidential election, prompting concerns that the U.S. president-elect could downgrade Washington’s participation in NATO, forcing European countries to ramp up defense spending.

Macron is known as Europe’s loudest advocate for the bloc becoming more independent from trading rivals such as China and the United States on everything from defense and security to cutting-edge technologies.

“For me, it’s simple. The world is made up of herbivores and carnivores. If we decide to remain herbivores, then the carnivores will win and we will be a market for them,” he told European leaders during a gathering in Budapest.

Macron’s own leadership on the European Union stage has taken a hit following snap elections he called for earlier this year, and in recent days he has tried to reposition himself as the bloc’s bridge to the U.S. He was one of the first leaders to congratulate Trump on Wednesday.

“Macron needs to transition to a Muslim woman.”
He’s got a good start, since he’s already pretty much a woman. (No offense meant to real women out there.)

Oddly, I agree to an extent with Macron. But the EU should not be able to do so with the US subsidizing it.

Forgot to add that at least Macron has sensed the long road to being a leader.

Only a loser French mind like Macron could conceive of or follow what he really means.

The western Europeans post-WWI became dominated sooner and more intensely by the Leftists than occurred in the U.S. initially. That Leftist Soviet-inspired mindset convinced many western Europeans, in grave error, that too much “nationalism” was western Europe’s problem. It was a Leftist lie. Germany under Hitler was not about “nationalism”, just about imperialism. He wanted Germany to be an Empire and why not he figured, Russia was, France was, Great Britain was and even Spain, Portugal and Holland had their colinial empires.

“Nationalism” was not what led to WWII. That idea is and was a lie.

The purpose of the lie was to get western Europe to install its own version of a Left-of-center empirical hold over the western European nations. For it, under the pretense of a “trading bloc”, the European Union was engineered.

I don’t think of Macron so much French so much, just a French hating European elitist, who rather see all individual western European states subsumed by the EU.

That is why the Le Pen group keeps growing their share in France.
