Italy's prime minister just heavily insinuated he doesn’t want Trump to be president

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.

"bridge[s] not walls," Renzi said.


Trump should build a wall around that clown too, so we won't have to listen to his silly nonsense anymore.

Ecuador cuts off Julian Assange’s internet access to help Hillary. They say to stop his “interference”. He’s a private citizen, I’m more concerned with THEIR interference.

Foreign dogs.

They used to have frequent elections, I think since the end of WW2 the average government lasted less than a year. This a-hole has been in power now for 3.5 years.

The Italian right needs to get a new a leader, move on from Berlusconi. Polls for the next election have his party running a distant third to the aptly named “Democrats” aka socialists and the “Five Star Movement” populists.

That country is a perfect example of mismanagement.

Just from what they make from tourism, they should have a booming economy. Throw in the various industries they have (automotive, agriculture, fashion, etc.) and they should be the star of Western Europe.

OTOH, like I’ve discussed with some of you offline, most of my ni**ers over there live pretty well. Multiple houses, seemingly endless vacation time, good schools. Better lives than most Americans I know.

That said, Renzi’s a turd who will be flushed.

If Hillary got in, only the top 1% would have any real net worth, and little chance of moving up in class.Conservatives and Christians would be relentlessly persecuted.
