France plans on getting tough with President-elect Trump
Bizpac Review ^ | November 9, 2016 | Saagar Enjeti, DCNF

France’s Foreign Minister said Wednesday Europe must not flinch in protecting European interests from President-elect Donald Trump.

“We have to meet the challenge for a Europe that must be able to better defend its citizens and its interests,” French Foreign Minsiter Jean-Marc Ayrault told French media. Ayrault called Trump’s statements on foreign policy “confused” and shocking to traditional U.S. allies.

1950 - Beirut is the “Paris of the Middle East”

2016 - Paris is the “Beirut of Europe”

Seeing how they are tough with the muslims, I am predicting another Trump landslide.

Do you know why the Champs Elysee has trees planted on both sides?

The German Army likes to march in the shade.

France doesn’t get it (yet). Trump’s going to withdraw from international conflicts (except ISIS) and the world policing duties left over from WWII and the cold war, and focus almost exclusively on domestic policy, fixing the many things broken about our country and let the rest of the world take care of itself for a change.

Trump will reach some kind of agreement with Putin, and then bow out, and let Europe fend for themselves against the Russians. If the French and other European countries want to hollow themselves out with unlimited immigration of Muslim peoples so backwards that flush toilets are a big deal and then are unable to deal with Putin because of such poor decision making, then so be it.

The Koreans and Japanese will be given the go ahead to build atomic bombs and build up their military and then THEY can deal with China militarily, not us.

Trump will still guard the oil in the Middle East but make the oil countries pay for the guarding.

For the first time, the world will be able to take care of itself without the backing of U.S. industrial might, because the parts of the world that matter now have their own industrial might. They’ll also have to learn good decsion-making as well, without having Uncle Sam to bail them out should they make fatal mistakes.

This new foreign policy will be one of the major reasons Trump will be able to succeed in fixing our nation, where the Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas have failed.

Another European government issues dire threats of...what, exactly? Frau Merkel is apparently of the opinion that stern diktats are in order as well to a fellow who is 24 hours away from his own election victory. This is hardly the stuff of international comity.

The global elite don't like him, that's for sure. It is one of his many endearing qualities, and if Trump's initial function is to tell the lot of these elitist creeps that their own citizens are sick of their crap as ours are, then that alone will have been a justification for his election.

They're nervous all right. This wasn't supposed to happen, the fix was in, first in the UK, who committed the unspeakable offense of rejection of the offered long-term lease on a cell in the mental asylum that is the EU, and now the United States, where a suicidal level of uncontrolled immigration is less than effectively justified by precisely the same pious crap as it is in Europe. "Don't think your country is yours or you're a bigot." Really?

This is pushback, and they don't like it. Yes, there is common ground between the UK, the French, and the United States, and it isn't within the international elite, it's between the individual citizens sick of the mess this sanctimonious garbage has made and who jam a ballot into a box as an act of pure defiance. Stand aside, mes amis, the train is coming through.

The Bushes, Clintons, and Obamas had no desire to strengthen this country; they were bent on its destruction.

We don’t need you, you cheese eating surrender monkey. You need us.

Doing anything without the French is like going deer hunting without an accordion.

Q: How many gears does a French tank have?

A: Four — three reverse gears and one forward gear (in case they’re attacked from behind).

How would he know? France isn’t an ally to anyone, it only ever looks after itself. I bet the “confused and shocking” thing is that the mooching is over and they won’t be able to bully President Trump with their parasitic globalist agenda.

Do what you want France. Slit your own throat. We’re focused internally for the next several years, so you’re on the back-burner as is.

Your snarkiness is duly noted too.

AMERICA FIRST!
