Nearly Half of EU Citizens Polled See Trump as 'Europe’s Enemy' — Magazine
TASS ^ | 12/3/25

Hostility toward the US president is somewhat lower in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Portugal

PARIS, December 4. /TASS/. Almost one in two EU citizens surveyed perceive US President Donald Trump as "Europe’s enemy," according to the results of a poll of 9,500 residents in nine EU countries conducted in late November and published in the French magazine Le Grand Continent.

"According to the latest figures, Trump is largely perceived as Europe’s enemy. On average, 48% of EU citizens surveyed see him this way, while 10% consider him a friend [of Europe] and 40% view him as ‘neither friend nor foe,’" the news outlet reports.

According to the survey, more than half of respondents view Trump negatively in Belgium (62%), France (57%), and Spain (53%). Hostility toward the US president is somewhat lower in Italy, the Netherlands, Germany, and Portugal. Poland appears to be the most friendly toward Trump.

Meanwhile, results from earlier similar surveys since last December show that the share of those who view Trump neutrally has been steadily declining, moving him into enemy status, especially in France and Italy. The magazine notes that "across Europe, ‘Trumpism’ is clearly perceived as a hostile force."

Despite rising dissatisfaction with Trump’s actions, the EU as a whole is not prepared to confront the US, which it still views as a strategic partner. In Italy, France, Germany, and Belgium, many respondents take a "compromise position" on Washington’s policies.

Politico previously wrote that the EU has put itself in a submissive position in its relations with the US, particularly regarding negotiations on resolving the Ukrainian crisis and on economic issues. European countries have been unable to take active steps to advance their own interests, the publication noted.

So less than half...or a minority...if the ‘scientific poll’ can even be trusted. Always trying to divide, always trying to tear down...

There isn’t one country on the planet that doesn’t rely on U.S. Taxpayer dollars for their survival. Trump is trying to keep them dollars in America. That’s why the freeloading jackasses hate him. With Trump in office, they have to support themselves.

People always focus on the messenger instead of the message.

It is the same with God.

Good

It means their Davos globalist deep-state media sees Trump as an enemy, which means Trump is definitely “America First.”

Per the above, looks like it was a poll conducted over the internet.

They got what they polled for.

Note the timing of its founding, among other things, in 2019.

I think a reverse poll taken in the US amongst taxpaying employed people over 30 would be about the same. I know I am well over 30 and pay lots of taxes and I guarantee you that European gutless, effiminate, marxist, trannie worshiping, Bernie Sanders type socialists disgust me by almost all relevant metrics. In terms of character, these vacant minded naughts are on a highway to hell as far as I am concerned. We should pull every last soldier out of Europe and let them fight Putin for the next 40 years.

Political Science - Randy Newman

[Verse 1]
No one likes us, I don’t know why
We may not be perfect, but heaven knows we try
And all around, even our old friends put us down
Let’s drop the big one and see what happens

[Verse 2]
We give them money, but are they grateful?
No, they’re spiteful and they’re hateful
They don’t respect us, so let’s surprise them
We’ll drop the big one and pulverize them

[Verse 3]
Asia’s crowded, Europe’s too old
Africa is far too hot and Canada’s too cold
And South America stole our name
Let’s drop the big one, there’ll be no one left to blame us

[Bridge]
We’ll save Australia
Don’t wanna hurt no kangaroo
We’ll build an all-American amusement park there
They got surfing too

[Verse 4]
Boom goes London, boom Paris
More room for you and more room for me
And every city the whole world ‘round
Will just be another American town
Oh, how peaceful it’ll be
We’ll set everybody free
You wear a Japanese kimono, babe
There’ll be Italian shoes for me
They all hate us anyhow
So let’s drop the big one now
Let’s drop the big one now
