Consider for a moment that the United States taxpayer ponies up billions each year to protect European countries because — let’s face it — they have proven themselves helpless. Despite American generosity, elitists such as France’s Pres. Emmanuel Macron thumb their noses at the U.S. by insulting the brave men and women that stand watch over them. People living in NATO-member countries sleep soundly in their beds at night because America stands a post.
When French Pres. Macron recently said that Europe needed to build its own army to protect against the United States, perhaps he should first take lessons speaking German or Russian, because that is what the globalist would be speaking had America not sent our brave soldiers to liberate France during two world wars.
“We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America,” Macron reportedly said in a radio interview.
Macron has repeatedly quibbled about Pres. Donald J. Trump withdrawing from wrong-headed treaties that do not serve American interests. The Paris Climate Accord would have put the U.S. at a strategic economic disadvantage to the EU, China, and other manufacturing nations. Most recently, Pres. Trump pulled out of a mid-range nuclear weapons deal with Russia after discovering the former Soviet Union had been violating it for years.
“When I see President Trump announcing that he’s quitting a major disarmament treaty which was formed after the 1980s Euro-missile crisis that hit Europe, who is the main victim? Europe and its security,” Macron said. “We will not protect the Europeans unless we decide to have a true European army.”
Macron cries foul as he pushes against U.S. strategy to sanction Iran’s nuclear weapons programs. The French president, like other EU globalists, is open to doing business with terrorist nations that rally around words such as “death to America” while we pay for their security. But he doesn’t seem to face the reality that France was steamrolled by Nazi forces in World War II. Pres. Trump was quick to respond on Twitter.
“Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China, and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two — How did that work out for France?” Pres. Trump tweeted. “They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not!”
And payment for NATO has been a sore point among Americans who are tired of paying for other nations’ safety while they push for imbalanced trade deals weighted against the U.S. Under the NATO alliance, each country agreed to spend 2 percent of its GDP on defense. In 2010, the U.S. was paying nearly 5 percent of a much larger economy. France has never met its obligation and continues to evade its bill.
In 2017, only five countries besides the U.S. honored their word — the U.K., Greece, Romania, Poland, and Estonia. If this were an ordinary business, they’d be sued in court for breach of contract. Macron’s remarks should stand as an insult to every hard-working American because you are paying this guy’s bill. Pres. Trump was rightly offended.
“Very insulting, but perhaps Europe should first pay its fair share of NATO, which the U.S. subsidizes greatly!” Pres. Trump reportedly said.
It’s no surprise that outgoing German Chancellor Angela Merkel backed Macron’s insult. After all, it was Germany that sparked both World Wars. The NATO mission is not only intended to curb Russian aggression but ensure Germany does not rise up and invade its neighbors once again. Germany, like France, continues to shirk its financial responsibility to the NATO alliance, ponying up a mere 1.24 percent of its GDP.
Fancying themselves as so-called “globalists,” Macron and Merkel have suffered tremendous declines in popularity. Merkel’s party lost the majority in Germany’s last election, and Macron’s polling numbers are in the toilet. Upwards of 78 percent of French voters say Macron has no real economic vision, and his approval rating dropped to a low 31 points.
“The problem is that Emmanuel suffers from a very low Approval Rating in France,” Pres. Trump reportedly tweeted. “By the way, there is no country more Nationalist than France, very proud people-and rightfully so! MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN!”
Pres. Trump’s economic and military nationalism continues to be viewed as attractive at home and abroad. It appears there will be a changing of the guard in European politics that could help realign the EU and the U.S. once the insulting globalists have been purged.

So, let them build their army and start defending themselves! We don’t need to be holding their hands when they get their asses kicked. Send them a box of big boy pants!!!
Lindsey Graham is eager to investigate DOJ, Hillary Clinton………..this is great news a promise president trump made to the Democrats, they investigate him, in return they will be investigated
The Germans waltzed through France in 1940. Macaroon has a deranged insight concerning The United States. He wants an army to protect his Muslim infested country from us????? LOL!!! A$$holes are a dime a dozen.
Trump loves America and he is strong. I am thankful that he is our president.
Trump loves himself, and is wrecking this country with his nationalism and fascist ways. If he truly were strong, then he would stand up to Putin and Kim Jong Un and the Saudi Prince. It is clear to anyone who can see that Trump is compromised and makes his decision, like about Saudi Arabia, based on the income he gets in his businesses. His move to stifle the sale on the FBI building is directly related to his hotel in DC, and will cost taxpayers millions of dollars more. As a taxpayer, I am tired of paying for all his weekends at Mar-O-Lago – – – he has both a house provided and Camp David – – – that is costing us millions for Trump’s golfing.
You are a total moron. If you had a brain you would see that communism, which you obviously are a member of, and fascism and Nazism and socialism and progressivism and liberalism are all the same thing. They are great big huge governments that have all the power and all the money and they are run by a small elitist group that allows a few cronies to have a lot of money but no power. If the cronies cross them, they are killed. 99.9% of the population is nothing but schitt under their feet. That includes you. They all look kike there are some differences on paper, but that is where it ends. In practice each and every one of them boil down to complete and total abject tyranny. The people are less than slaves, who were taken care of because they represented an investment by their owners. These slave masters don’t give a tinkers damn about you or anyone else. That is the face of the so called Democrat Party today, and that apparently is you.
you got that right
Totally agree with you. ‘reality check’ needs a reality check. Does not know what they are talking about, sounds like every other democrat that I know!
I like seeing you package liberals in with the rest or that collectivist, leftist bunch. Liberals are the least deadly of them, but they are fundamentally the same and, so, they lead us all to the the deadly rest. Today’s Democratic Party is a good example of this process in action. It works because liberals, like the rest (not ‘kike’ the rest(!), (hope you don’t mind the humor) place collectivism and servitude on a PAR with unalienable individual rights and freedom. So rights and freedom are ‘compromised’ with collectivism and servitude. That only undercuts the former to the benefit of the latter. That’s because it’s not actually a compromise, but a surrender of the former to the latter because they’re fundamentally different and not reconcilable. In the end, it’s one or the other, not both. Democrats, today, are making that plain as day. We instead must make it plain as day, in the opposite direction, toward rights and freedom.
Guess I made my own typo here. I said, ‘rest or that collectivist,…’ instead of, ‘rest of that collectivist,…’. I’ve also said kike instead of like more than once, before.
You are an ignorant and arrogant son of a b and you need to leave our great country, jealous baby whining people like you a re disgusting. Grow up put on big boy pants and leave moron.
It is not WRECKING this nation to put the safety and sovereignty of this nation before all other nations.
What was wrecking this nation was the past presidents who felt how OTHER NATIONS feel or talk about them was more important than even our basic US constitutional rights or think their job is about a “GLOBAL COMMUNITY” instead of following the laws of the US and honoring the OATH OF OFFICE they took.
Especially obama with his blatant attempts to bypass the guaranteed irrevocable constitutional rights of US citizens through UN treaties that blatantly revoked those rights in the name of NOT OFFENDING terrorists, Criminals, People who have OPENLY stated their intent to impose FOREIGN laws in US COURTS especially ones that impose a specific religion upon the people.
It was not Trump that went on INTERNATIONAL television apologizing to those who had just MURDERED US citizens because the CONSTITUTION prohibited the government from CENSORING FREE SPEECH they MIGHT find offensive.
It was not Trump that gave a speech to the UN declaring the US was now a MUSLIM nation even citing the number of mosques he forced states to allow even when zoning or environmental laws prohibited construction in the area.
It was not Trump that used the LAWFUL shooting of a foreign individual who was trying to break into an elderly couples home as an excuse to try and DISARM US citizens insisting they were supposed to wait up to three hours for a GOVERNMENT response to the man kicking in their door in a neighbor hood that recently had several people harmed in home invasions.
It was not Trump who holds the belief that US citizens should be disarmed but declared a law DISARMING illegal aliens UNCONSTITUTIONAL as if NON CITIZENS who break immigration laws have the same constitutional rights as a US citizen.
It was not Trump that declared telling the TRUTH about an issue was HATE SPEECH because it offended the PROPAGANDISTS who wanted their lies to be the only information about the subject in the media or on the internet.
This list can go on for pages stating the violations done by PAST administrations, judges, and politicians more concerned about the “GLOBAL COMMUNITY” or lining their own pockets than even the very lives of the US citizens they supposedly took an oath to defend and protect much less the LAWS of this nation they swore to uphold and follow.
Yes, Mr. reality check, better he and his family should take separate airplanes on extended vacations to Hawaii and around the world. You’re a dope!
Germany’s government is the reason my grandfather moved to the U.S. in the 1880’s. My uncles flew in B-17’s over Germany where their ancestors still lived. Two of them died when their B-17’s were shot down. Germany was rebuilt after WWII with much help from the U.S.A. We even supplied East Berlin with everything when the USSR blockaded them! I say pay the same percentage as France and Germany! Let them defend themselves, I wouldn’t lift a finger to help them the next time they are invaded!
If that is way France and Germany feel. We need stop funding them and bring all our troops back home. They can protect our boarders instead of every one else’s . We would come out ahead on $$$. We can help the countries that pay their fair share and the hell with the rest of them
The Germany Press like here in the USA berate our President who puts America First. Not long ago the Germans were
smitten by their press of how wonderful OBAMA was. It proves that if a lie is repeated often enough, people will believe it
as the truth!. Germans like the Blacks in the USA do not know history do not appreciate what Americans and Republicans
have done for their country and people.
Europeans, generally better educated and informed than Americans, see Trump as a buffoon and, by in large, they are right! Obama was a very educated and intelligent man who knew how to treat AND KEEP allies. Trump does not understand how to speak softly while carrying a big stick – – he foolishly verbally slights people in public – – a very stupid and childish thing to do. You never go far insulting allies, supporters in public. NATO has kept the peace and stopped the actions of thugs/criminals like Putin. Trump kisses Putin’s feet and does his bidding because Trump is COMPROMISED.
Ovomit was a pathetically bad joke at the very best. He can’t open his mouth that a lie doesn’t come out. Obviously you are one that grovels at his feet. You are stupid. I’ll agree that our schools have gone to hell. That is due to liberalism in this country that has devastated our education system. One of the biggest problems that college professors have today is that kids coming out of high school can’t read and therefore they can’t learn. That is due to liberalism that is more interested in PC than they are education. Education started going down in the 1950’s, and it hasn’t stopped. There are no real educational standards anymore. There should be very specific and reasonable standards in reading and math and science and history and in civics, but their isn’t. Colleges today are more interested in PC because the Government is where they get most of their money, and that is true of the professors as well.I see these kids everyday and I talk to them and, relative to the kids of 50 or 60 years ago, they are stupid. That is what you and your libtard ways has accomplished over the years. Really something to be proud of isn’t it.
In some of the things that you said you are half right. More dangerous than being all wrong. You believe the fake news of the leftist news media. Many times the truth hurts feelings but will preserve our people. This is not the first time the pride of the French has caused their downfall. Now European countries have allowed a foreign army into their countries. This Muslim army will not be a part of the host country but will suppess it and take it over. Our enemy is turning our allies into another enemy. Will our republic survive? Only God knows.
Educated? And what has that ‘education” achieved? Dictators, wars, oppression and tyranny. France can’t decide what it ants, and is on the, what, 35th Republic since it’s stupid and brain-dead revolution? The U.S. went from nothing to world Colossus, and you old European nations just can’t stand it! You are jealous for a past when Europe could do whatever it wanted. Now you are exposed as the paper skeletons that you are. Go ahead, build your army. It will be amusing to watch the EU collapse all the faster.
Macron is a fool who lets his country be taken over by Muslim migrants and complains that Trump isn’t doing the same for America. GOTTA LOVE ❤️ OUR PRES
President Trump you are so correct! Our fathers shed their blood on foreign soil to liberate stinking France from the Nazi occupation. Then the pompous prigs refused to pay off their debt to America, and have the audacity to call us “ugly Americans.” Only a stupid leftist or an ignorant Frenchman couldn’t draw a line between America and the fact they all don’t speak German and howl “heil hitler” everyday.
Don’t forget the Marshall Plan after WWII.
“The Marshall Plan was an American initiative to aid Western Europe, in which the United States gave over $12 billion in economic assistance to help rebuild Western European economies after the end of World War II. The plan was in operation for four years beginning on April 3, 1948”.
At the end of WWII, the USSR “owned” most of Germany, with the exception of half of Berlin and a swath of Western Germany. Stalin was getting even with the Allied Powers for delaying the advance on Nazism. Remember the Berlin Wall ?!?! In the early 1990s the Wall fell and the USSR became the Russian Federation. The commies have NOT forgotten this ordeal and vow to make the US of A the USSA with the exalted one, puppet Barry Soetoro (aka, BHO ) in charge of the Puppet Master old socialist Georgie Soros global empire.
Macron and Merkel ara both A**H***S
Get out….America doesn’t need these leaches….
Well, Macron, next time Fritz comes knocking, don’t call us, okay? I’m sure your French elan will do the trick. hasn’t it always?????
European Union is tribe’s conspiracy EU was created to change demography in Europe and to destroyed a little by little civilization in this small continent We have the United Nation It’s ridiculous how European Union is coming to speak in UN So, it’s suspicious why was created EU?
EU Insults Prove It’s Time To STOP PAYING For NATO
ABSOLUTELY, Now let’s REALLY STOP PAYING NATO, NOW
this is the TRUMPing US Truth
this is my TRUMPing US Truth!!!
If they want to spend money on their own defense establishment, fine, but they must pay what they owe on NATO first, and then keep paid up. And, if they have their own defense establishment, maybe the NATO treaty should be renegotiated. The European Union should replace all its member states as a party to the treaty, with the EU made to keep paying its share to the treaty.
European NATO members must pay up on what they owe NATO, and keep paid up, before the European Union can spend money on its own defense establishment. And if the EU establishes its own defense, it might join NATO, and keep paid up, and maybe the EU can replace all its member states as party to NATO.
Europeans have forgotten all the help the U S of A has provided over the last 60-70 years both militarily and financially. Maybe we should allow them to fend for themselves for a while and see how they do. MAGA
Time to cut our percentage payment to match that of the other major countries! This should be done as quick as French surrendering.
If most of the European countries can’t come up with the money to meet their obligations to NATO, how do they expect to come up with the money to finance their own army, navy and air force? If they do as they say, we can take all that money we save a put it towards helping our own citizens.
