  1. I didn’t vote for Trump but this video confirms that many European bureaucrats still “don’t get it”. Your first thought is worrying about climate? You guys just don’t get what’s going on in the world and the seismic changes.

  2. First thing she said, "he insulted and alienated US longterm allies." News Flash, the orange man is going to do that exact same thing again. Accept it for what it is, which is rough pushes at Europe to carry their own pale of water.

  3. Theae people are terrified because they hear the footsteps of their own changing electorates, and they know that what happened in the US will continue to happen in the EU. It will be driven by givernment acceptance and pushing of unlimited illegal immigration, along with government overreach into every ladt corner of private life. These people can pretend to themselves all they want anout the reasons for Trump's victory, but the real reasons apply to Europe as well, which they will see soon enough.

  4. "He started out by insulting …". Sounds like you are still getting the Talking Points List that CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc. in the USA were given and found that they backfired BIG TIME. I look forward to the end of your business operation also. Stop trying to manipulate your viewers' feelings and thoughts. You are NOT the Puppet-masters of the People.

  5. Having a war in the middle of Ukraine's breadbasket is not helping global food prices.

    Trump will end the war

  11. everyone of the elites are crying around the world. they failed. dad is home now and he is pissed. 48 hours later putin has said he will come to the table, taliban asked for forgivenenss, qatar kicked out hamas, mexico started enforcing the border, china has backed off tiawan. etc. EU and WEF are done.

  13. America is Not interested in dependents in Europe ,we want allies that abide by the NATO agreement they signed, if you do what you agreed to America will do what it agreed to!

  17. The Europeans elites are shaking and trembling over this Trump win …my peasant brothers through out the continent are waking up, and want change. They've had enough of this liberal tolerance diversity socialist nonsense, not to mention seeing their cities run down with migrants and third world crime. A red wave is coming to Europe and as an American we need Europe to wake up. Bc this is global cancer, these leftist socialist climate change bourgeoisie class is destroying the world.

  19. What's most important in foreign policy is predictability. That's the biggest problem they had with Trump; he was all over the map.

  20. Europe is in a tough spot. In order to pay their fair share of defense, they would have to scale back their welfare state. And this would be political suicide for any pol that did it.

  21. Climate change has been fixed in the us as much as possible I think for the US it’s a dead issue and no one with a brain cares anymore!

  22. Funny, they don't mention China and climate change in the same sentence, when in fact China has the worst pollution in the world.

  28. As a American I like watching these because we have been the world's whipping boy for last 4 years been a joke think about these Brussels is head of European union not in Germany or France two largest economy in European union yet you want us go by same thing do what you say nato is based of Europe yet America does most fighting why trump scares them he says put America first like use be rest world should follow us since we keep them safe we are by far largest buyer of goods in the world
