European officials are uneasily digesting U.S. President Donald Trump's speech at the United Nations this week, where he blasted the world body and attacked Europe’s immigration policies, energy transition and commitment to climate action.
Unlike his last appearance in 2020, when China dominated his speech, his European allies were the focus of some of his harshest criticism, getting mentioned twice as often as Beijing.
"Immigration and their suicidal energy ideas will be the death of Western Europe," Trump told the assembly. "Illegal aliens are pouring into Europe.”
The speech dismayed many in Europe - and left some bemused - - not just by the tone, but by what they saw as a deeper erosion of shared democratic values.
One France-based European diplomat told Reuters it appeared Trump was trying to apply his messages to the American public internationally, assuming that Europe wants the same thing as his administration does.
"Perhaps we should start importing bottles of American air, since it’s apparently so pure,” the diplomat added.
Since returning to office in January, Trump and his top officials have forcefully implemented his MAGA agenda - from climate and migration to diversity and free speech.

The EU needs to give up the New Green Deal grift/scam.
And implement free speech.
Shared global commitments? Since when have the Europeans done their share?
IIRC, many of the EU pensions have been invested in green stocks. If they acknowledge ‘climate change’ is BS, it would be financially catastrophic.
European leaders are insistent on committing self destruction. They don’t need Trump’s advice.
Open, free and fair elections? Where? Romania where the high court just annulled an election the outcome of which they didn't like - and then followed that up by disqualifying the winner in the next election on the basis of zero evidence?
France where a former president has been sentenced to 5 years in prison for simply raising campaign cash and the leading opposition candidate has been disqualified for 5 years for exactly the kind of fundraising every party in France does?
Germany where they just disqualified the leading opposition candidate in one election, several of that party's candidates suspiciously died right before an election and where the federal intel service has labelled that party (which is quite moderate) as extremist on the basis of no evidence so as to support attempts to ban the party before the next election?
Austria, where every other party has refused to be in a coalition with the winning party such that the only government possible is a coalition of the losers?
The Netherlands where they've done practically the same thing as in Austria with only a very minor concession and effectively hamstrung the winning party - thus preventing it from reforming anything?
Hey, if you Yurps want to sacrifice your economies to Gaia and if you want to facilitate your countries' takeover by feral Muslims and Africans - that's your choice, but don't expect us to follow suit.
Forget it - we ain't sharing.
Yup.
Plus cut off massive illegal immigration.
No way Europe is able to compete with China in anything, let alone in AI which requires VAST amounts of electric power, when the cost of electric power in Europe is so high.
Kudos for a fine thumbnail sketch of the non-democratic phenomena ongoing in the European Union's "member states" as the EC talks about "European values" but cannot define them.
“Global commitments”.
They make the commitments (and get the kick backs), we get the bill.
If anyone of you haven’t watched Trump’s entire speech on Youtube or somewhere else I encourage you to do so. This man is one hell of a leader. it is 58 minutes of pure mastery.
Bravo! You just laid waste to the sham of European “democracy.” The EU is an increasingly totalitarian construct. Europe is not our friend.

Let’s start with What is a Woman? Answer that correctly and maybe we can talk.
“Shared global commitments”?
Seems to be that America is the only one sharing. Doesn’t seem fair somehow.

The audio feed to the UN members wasn’t even on.
According to one report.
Who knows if any translator headphones were on.
So how could they digest anything?
They didn’t hear 1 damned word of what he said, on purpose.
The feed I heard on RAV at one point was over talked by some foreign language feed to where I could barely make out what Trump was saying for what seemed like minutes, though probably only 1 or 2.
After all that crap they pulled, boot the UN OUT OF THE USA.
tell them to move into the Hague.
The Euros are content to stew in their stench of islamofascism. Except for Hungary, and maybe Poland, we should not be allied with any of them.
They just don’t like it that President Trump told them that the US wasn’t going to take their crap anymore! The taxpayers of the US won’t pay the world’s bills anymore and any war...the rest of the world can pay for.
