EU could BREAK UP the US: Juncker in jaw-dropping threat to Trump over support for Brexit

By Nick Gutteridge, Brussels Correspondent
PUBLISHED: 12:14, Thu, Mar 30, 2017 | UPDATED: 15:47, Thu, Mar 30, 2017

In an extraordinary speech the EU Commission president said he would push for Ohio and Texas to split from the rest of America if the Republican president does not change his tune and become more supportive of the EU.

The remarks are diplomatic dynamite at a time when relations between Washington and Brussels are already strained over Europe’s meagre contributions to NATO and the US leader’s open preference for dealing with national governments.

“Mr Juncker did not criticise Britain at all during his speech, and only made reference to Brexit in relation to Mr Trump and the opportunities it presents for Europe to reform itself.”

I can see President Trump firing up the Twitter link shortly ...

"Hey Junk-Head ... nobody threatens the United States of America! Pay up for NATO, or else! Make America Great Again!!!"

Right. LOL.

Maybe he could get John Kasich to lead an Ohio secession movement. Yes -- the same John Kasich who can't even separate from a bowel movement.

Man, if this doesn’t show the complete disconnect of Europe to reality in the U.S., I don’t know what does. Maybe if he had used California as an example...

...but Texas and Ohio???

How about substituting California and the Lower Eastern NY for Texas and Ohio? Oh, they don’t them either?

Coastal California

America wants Coastal California to leave.

And take Portland with them.

P.J. O'Rourke said it best:

Among the Euro Weenies "...Eventually he got, as the Europeans always do, to the part about "Your country's never been invaded." ... "You don't know the horror, the suffering. You think war is..."

I snapped. "A John Wayne movie," I said. "That's what you were going to say, wasn't it? We think war is a John Wayne movie. We think life is a John Wayne movie - with good guys and bad guys, as simple as that. Well, you know something, Mister Limey Poofter? You're right. And let me tell you who the bad guys are.

They're us. WE BE BAD.

"We're the baddest-assed sons of bitches that ever jogged in Reeboks. We're three-quarters grizzly bear and two-thirds car wreck and descended from a stock-market crash on our mother's side. You take your Germany, France, Spain, roll them all together and it wouldn't give us room to park our cars.

We're the big boys, Jack, the original, giant, economy-sized, new and improved butt kickers of all time. When we snort coke in Houston, people lose their hats in the Cap d'Antibes. And we've got an American Express card credit limit higher than your piss-ant metric numbers go.

"You say our country's never been invaded? You're right, little buddy. Because I'd like to see the needle-dicked foreigners who'd have the guts to try. We drink napalm to get out hearts started in the morning. A rape and a mugging is our way of saying 'Cheerio.' Hell can't hold our sock-hops. We walk taller, talk louder, spit further, fcuk longer, and buy more things than you know the names of. I'd rather be a junkie in New York than king, queen, and jack of all you Europeans. We eat little countries like this for breakfast and siht them out before lunch."

Of course, the guy should have punched me. But this was Europe. He just smiled his shabby, superior European smile.

God, don't these people have dentists?"
