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

By Nick Gutteridge, Brussels Correspondent

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.

I knew I shouldn’t have checked Drudge before going to bed. That was the funniest thing I’ve read in my entire life.

Memo to Europe:

Don’t misread the things that you think you see. We are a family. Might be a dysfunctional, goofy family, but a family nevertheless. YOUR operation has only been around a few decades, but most of us have been bound to each other for more than a hundred years.

Go ahead....try us.

The man showed his geopolitical ignorance, particularly regarding the legal governance structure of the United States versus the EU. They are entirely different in origin, in means and methods of becoming what they are, as well as many other things about them. The EU was slammed together by executive fiat, and unlike the Brexit vote most EU states have avoided bringing a referendum on the EU to a vote.

Jean-Claude Juncker needs to shut his pie hole and not mess with MY country.

AW not this nonsense again! I remember when CANADA was supposed to break apart and the western regions join the USA.

As one wag said...”Why would Western Canada want fifty more states?”

"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???"

Exactly. The guy's not so veiled threat to put pressure on us didn't even make sense.

Nearly spit iced tea out my nose with P.J.’s rant. Especially liked the “junkie in NY” line...

Junker who?? Lolz

Although it would be entertaining to see CA weenies try to staff their own military. They’d have to conscript them.

His original statement was not Texas but Austin Texas which most Texans see as doable. We could move the capitol to Gunbarrel Texas or Cut and Shoot Texas.

So let’s no be too hasty.

That Euro-GlobalistTrash Juncker is a joke! He’s a poodle. All bark and no bite.

He can’t even hold his own union together and yet Junker threatens the United States. What a piece of trash!

Yep - just one word for that a$$hole and the us will split up (although giving Hawaii to Japan and sending Kalifornistan on its separate way does sound pretty good)
