Macron to Europe: We need to become ‘omnivores’ after Trump’s victory

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 will not be president of the French for much longer. He will be replaced in time. Europe is swinging right. LePen will lead France as Nigel Frange will be PM in the UK. A new leader for Germany, Austria and Poland as well. The war in Ukraine will be over soon—and the rebuilding started. Peace will settle over the continent.

Did Obama build that? Or maybe sleepy creepy Joe? No? How about "I didn't intend" to do that bs or no State actor prosecutor would indict, deplorable person? Still no? How about the guy all of the above just tried to whack multiple times and is currently plotting riots against and military treason as we type like dumbasses.

Europe sees what is happening. Europe is making sure Europe's boat floats too. If you are having trouble understanding that please contact either Larry Kudlow or Kevin the Shark.

Give your head a shake. What are you doing with your life? If you miss out, well, sucks to be you.
