EU chief fires back at Trump for declaring the EU an enemy

“I think we have a lot of foes,” Trump told CBS News in an interview segment that aired Sunday on “Face the Nation.” “I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now you wouldn’t think of the European Union, but they’re a foe.”

You can put America first while still having allies.

I put my family before my friends, but I still have both.

Donald Trump is a foe for America.

Republicans only do things that help America. Democrats want America to fail, so their agenda needs to be defeated.

A zero sum transactional approach to foreign policy, where every other country is “equivalent”, is short-sighted in the extreme.

If you say so. It’s wrong, but I don’t question you believe it.

Notice the word “or” in the definition? One is not necessarily the other, hence the word or. Now it was a choice by the dishonest media to use the other definition which is NOT what he said.

It wasn’t the “dishonest press”.

It was Trump by making the EU, Russia, and China equivalent.

“Dishonest media,” indeed.

Trump knows that if those countries meddled in our elections, they’d probably help the Democrats. In that way, they are his foe.

Really? That’s what makes you a fake. You’re a coward that really can’t address a press that didn’t use the President’s exact words. They used another definition of the word. Now seriously…and you call me a snowflake? I lovvvvvvve the irony.

I just thought up a new word and you are the definition of a “snowfake”.:sunglasses:

The common denominator was a competing economy to the United States. Now get over it.

No…they didn’t.

TRUMP made the EU, Russia, and China equivalent, not the press.

Fox News is a Deep State media outlet that only pretends to support our Glorious Leader while deviously undermining him by continuing to use His own words against Him. It’s insidious - at least the Communist New Network is obvious about their treason.

Tell me something my friend…the World Cup is going on right now. The teams that played…were they enemies, foes or both?

i would argue that putting America First includes having strong allies. we want counties in the EU working with us on a ton of stuff. if i’m them, and he trashed me over and over, i’d simply tell my intelligence community to cut us off. then we’d retaliate then both sides would realize we need each other.

Trump just likes to create chaos. i’ll be glad when the logical military/intelligence people get more say so again.

That is some next level spin…wow

When first asked about Russia he called them a “competitor” now he describes the EU as “foe”

The EU is neither an enemy or an opponent period.

The coomon deniminator is it shows the very short-sighted worldview of the President of the United States that is so against our strategic interests it’s not even funny.

When America First becomes America Alone, maybe you’ll learn why such a worldview is short-sighted.

That’s not the point I was getting at. Here’s the CNN story about the same thing, which does not use the word “enemy.” Maybe you can help me understand why CNN is fake news and Fox is not?
