Donald Trump got a shout-out of sorts from Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi during the Italian leader's visit to the White House on Tuesday. At an arrival ceremony on the White House's South Lawn alongside President Obama, Renzi took an indirect jab at the Republican presidential nominee, saying he hoped America's next president would be as inclusive and tolerant as Obama has been. "My personal opinion is that the name of future has to be freedom. The name of the future has to be education not intolerance, sustainability not distraction, trust not hate, bridge[s] not walls," Renzi said.
Renzi followed that not-so-subtle plea with particularly warm words for Obama. "Under your leadership, a country hit by crisis started growing again," Renzi said. "Day after day, you have made changes that improve lives, help the environment, and create opportunities for poor people. I think there are a lot of people who think politics is only about screaming and fighting each other, creating hate and division. You are different, Mr. President. We are different."
Renzi's visit to the White House marks Obama's final state visit of his presidency. The leaders planned to discuss climate change and the migrant crisis during a private meeting, followed by a news conference. On Tuesday night, there will be a state dinner, featuring a performance by Gwen Stefani.
Wonder how much the Clintons paid him to say that.
I’ll have some of whatever Eyetalian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi is on....
That must be a great endorsement for Donald then, eh?
No wonder my grandparents and great-grandparents left that craphole well over one hundred years ago.
This thread needs a barf alert!
Mmmmeeeehhhh, Italians are known for their bad decisions, “I think he must do something. If he cannot make a graceful dive, he will at least have to jump in somehow; he can hardly put on his dressing-gown and walk down the stairs again.” Ring a bell?
The past is prologue.
He shouldn’t lose his head over Muslim immigration.

Stupid Stupid Italy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who GAF what Italy’s prime minister wants. He should work on getting some window screens imported en mass into his country.
Maybe some air conditioners.
Not suprisng at all. I dare say most if not all world leaders are probably all globalists whereas Trump is not.
[Renzi took an indirect jab at the Republican presidential nominee, saying he hoped America’s next president would be as inclusive and tolerant as Obama has been.]
Renzi has been spending too much time in Italy.
In other words “I hope the next president doesn’t stop taking in Syrian refugees or Italy and the rest of Europe will be overrun.”
I’d like to take this opportunity to heavily insinuate I don’t want Matteo Renzi to be prime minister.
Most leaders of other countries are automatically against Trump, because they prefer a weak minded US pres. They can take advantage of.
Was this guy even elected? Or was he the ex-goldmans guy that was appointed
Another port listing pu**y pimping for the left!
As a result,Mr Prime Minister,your words mean as much to us as does the sound of a drunk's flatus.
hey RENZI
get your own house in order before you start casting aspersions
your mafia and your banks are a great starting point....,
