Trump rips Macron after landing in France over ‘insulting’ call for European army

President Trump touched down in France on Friday and immediately took a shot at President Emmanuel Macron for his recent call for a "European army," calling the idea "very insulting" and renewing pressure on the country to contribute more to NATO.

"President Macron of France has just suggested that Europe build its own military in order to protect itself from the U.S., China and Russia," Trump tweeted. "Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the U.S. subsidizes greatly!"

Let Europe defend itself. See how socialism goes when it’s not subsidized by the US.

Let them have their European army. We can use the $50 billion savings to build all the walls we need to stop the actual invasion of our nation through its borders.

At least 12 years ago I was told by a Brit that the EU was going to crush us economically and then they were going to crush us militarily. I said bring it, we will be waiting for you.

I bet the French newspapers on June 7th of 1944 also claimed the USA was invading France...

Let Europe have its own army and shut down NATO. It might shock them out of their nanny-state, multi-culti socialism.

No, but I’ve been to the UK a number of times, and that is the stereotypical British Male. I mean take a good look at Prince Charles, and you have to know his genetic makeup is a predominant feature in the “blood line” over there. Intermarrying with Muslims would be an “improvement!”

European army.. That is laughable! Europeans are not sheepdogs.. They are sheep! Especially France! I guess that is why they allowed all those army-age male youth into their countries.. They’ll have them do the fighting for them.. That should work out well!

That would be one of the biggest geopolitical and strategic mistakes to let them have something they’ve wanted for decades. And Trump demonstrates he knows this.
