Watching the meltdowns on social media after Trump’s election was mildly amusing until I got to the fourth clip of some hysterical woman cursing at her phone, and then it just reminded me of my ex-wife. However, the recent wave of Euro-weenie whining on display in an Atlantic article by Mckay Coppins got me smiling again.
In the article, Coppins quotes several Brussels-style bureaucrats saying that Trump is egging on European populist movements, and every right-thinking European knows that these are a threat to democracy. Although the Europeans have a different perspective than Americans, one would think that at some point they too would grow tired of being lectured to, labeled as threats to democracy and Hitler reincarnate.
Coppins quotes others as saying that now that Trump is back, Europe needs to stand on its own. It was a familiar refrain during Trump’s first term in office. They’re like a girlfriend who keeps threatening to leave, and you keep encouraging her to do so, and nothing really comes of it. Besides, if Europe were to part ways with America, they would have to cough up the money for defense, cut short their summer vacations by a month, and rethink their plans to retire at age fifty-five.
There’s also that preachiness about climate change that makes European leaders so intolerable to listen to at a diplomatic dinner, or when “gathered in a resort on the French Riviera in between pastry buffets and dips in the pool,” as Coppins writes. Trump would just roll his eyes and utter the word hoax before they could say change.
Coppins writes about a former Portuguese minister who,
[S]coffed at Trump’s decision to create new, lofty-sounding administration posts for Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, and was baffled by the Silicon Valley types who believe the billionaires...

I think Europe is lost, but the USA can still be saved.
We really need to cut Europe loose. We do not need them. They poison the punch bowl.
democracy is ALWAYS threatened when the voters think for themselves.
They are whining because their billionaires lost control of what we do.
They never learned that appeasement gets you nowhere...even as they are suffering the crimes of so many illegals who now populate Europe!
Western Europe is lost....or at least most of it with a few exceptions like Switzerland, Norway, Finland and Iceland. Eastern Europe will continue on being very recognizably European.
If Europe is lost, some legal immigrants I’d gladly welcome...
Freedom-loving Europeans who now want to become Americans.
Those would be true refugees!
Over the last 100+ years just how many millions of gallons of blood have we shed to keep these spineless cowards free?
Oh, just a story dedicated to an ex. Bill, you’re another whiney whine whiner over an ex-wife. Isn’t it always. Why did you marry her? Why keep dragging her along? Looks like you’re the one who can’t get on with life.
“ I think Europe is lost, but the USA can still be saved.”
Well, the coming year will be critical for Western Europe for sure. Putin is on record that the Balkans rightfully belong under Russian hegemony and once he has conquered the Ukraine they’re next. I believe he has decided that restoring the Russian Empire is his destiny and he is firmly committed to achieving it.
EU-topia.....they don’t have to worry.
These freaks will find a home in the army during WWIII,LOL
"Besides, what have the Euro-weenies done other than form the European Union and censor anyone who disagrees with it? Maybe when Elon and Vivek are done transforming the federal government, they can tackle the liberation of Europe."Tha highlighted speaks well to what has happened, from Spinelli, Schuman and Monnet forward.
Those who dreamed of a European-wide government lost sight of the truth that a people are not a government. A people can be under or over a government.
The EU's behaviors places people UNDER them, and them OVER a people. Democrats and RINOs think quite like this as well. Thank goodness Trump has toppled the continuance of Democrats in the White House for a while. May the trend continue.
Indeed. Keep bases in the UK and cut the rest of the Euros off. 80 odd years off baby sitting them is enough.
