Donald Trump voiced concern about the current political track taken by EU countries
WASHINGTON, December 9. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump criticized the fine imposed by the European Commission on X and warned that Europe is "moving in some bad directions."
Asked about the fine at a meeting with representatives of the agricultural industry at the White House, Trump called Brussels' decision "nasty" and added: "I don't think it's right. Europe has to be very careful."
He voiced concern about the current political track taken by EU countries. "We want to keep Europe Europe. Europe is going in some bad directions. It's very bad, very bad for the people. We don't want Europe to change so much," the president said.
On December 5, the European Commission fined X €120 million for violating EU digital regulations.
Tom Rainier, an EC representative, said at a briefing that X had violated transparency rules. According to him, this includes the presence of a fee-based blue verified user badge on the platform, which is misleading because anyone can buy it and X does not conduct sufficient verification.

What is one’s definition of ‘free speech’ in Europe is it all speech or does it exclude speech critical of the policies of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government in Israel?
Is there an ulterior motive to all the talk about “free speech” in Europe?
Europe is a pain on Ukraine policy as well but I want to know who told the Europeans to get mad with Russia in the first place was it the US government through the CIA or State Department for example.
Where are we going and what’s with the handbasket.
“Europe is a pain on Ukraine policy as well but I want to know who told the Europeans to get mad with Russia in the first place was it the US government through the CIA or State Department for example.”
My bet is Obummer, the evil shadow who’s made the rounds through the UK, Geneva, Brussels, etc several times since 2024.

I’m with you. He’s as Evil as they come.
You-Rope seems to be toasted.
WEF peeps are totally unaware.
Next up we’re getting out of NATO. The EU nations are in breech of the charter. They signed a pledge to hold free and fair elections and to allow freedom of speech.
Hope you are correct.
I am correct.
The Weenies don’t need us to set them against Russia.
“Next up we’re getting out of NATO. The EU nations are in breech of the charter. They signed a pledge to hold free and fair elections and to allow freedom of speech.”

Free and fair elections doesn’t include using democratic processes to murder democratic government, which is what the AfD Nazis are doing now.
When did Trump go all in for Russia? TASS sure likes it these days.
The Russians aren’t in NATO. 🙄
“You are repeating the rhetoric of the Left when you call the AfD Nazis. Their platform is basically the same as American conservatives: tighter control over immigration, stricter punishment of criminals, skepticism about the EU, opposition to the Green New Deal, and a free market economy.”
____________________________________________________________
Not at all. There’s nothing “Left” about recognizing a Neo-Nazi organization for what it is. BTW, did you know Putin funds the most Neo-Nazi groups in the entire world?
The Russians aren’t in NATO. 🙄

I never said they are.
“but I want to know who told the Europeans to get mad with Russia in the first place was it the US government through the CIA or State Department for example.”
Probably no one. It was a clash of values. The Russians still protect their kids from LGBTs, have functioning churches, and don’t make their people plug-in their cars.
Simply TOO MUCH for Europeans to handle, given how brainwashed they now are.
As for you accusation that Putin is behind the AfD snacks of the Russia hoax used by the Democrats to derail Trump.

Obama in London - AGAIN
Still plotting the color-revolution against Trump with his Davos-London masters?
“Free and fair elections doesn’t include using democratic processes to murder democratic government, which is what the AfD Nazis are doing now.”
What, exactly, are the AfD Nazis doing right now, other than trying to survive as a party aligned with the same European values of past generations? Or is it their opposition to mass migration that gets under your skin?
The Obamanation of Desolation
Evil shadow demons.
Target>>>>Trump
Pissed off the rotted souls when they couldn’t assassinate him.
