The Trump administration will not entertain a French politician’s request to return the Statue of Liberty to France.

“Absolutely not. My advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind them that it’s only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a press briefing Monday, likely referencing an American-French allyship during World War II that snuffed out Nazi Germany. “They should be grateful.”

Let’s not forget the reason for “Lafayette, we are here!”
France made a difference in the Revolutionary war....especially at Yorktown.
Let’s give ‘em sone credit.

The Statue of Liberty is ours. It stays.

Our dead soldiers in their country area also ours.

Hey France, How about you return all of our WW 1 and WW 2 dead so that they can be buried in the country they are from at your expense?

,,, there’s a downsized statue of liberty in Las Vegas. Move it to the same island the big one’s on and start a collection. Put berets over the crowns and bob’s your mother’s brother.

France helped us during the Revolution. It’s been a while, but I’m very grateful for the support.

I think we should give it back to them after they pay us a 1 trillion dollar fee to pack it up and ship it back to them.

I’m surprised they want her. She only has one of her arms raised.

We would, but we’re afraid gangs of “asians”(lol) will rape her, over and over, in front of the police.
