Donald Trump and the Return of European Anti-Americanism

In Europe a spade is an implement for digging with, In America it is surprisingly just a spade.

The European Liberal Elite have always considered themselves to be superior to Americans, the exception being the UK which for so long has allied itself with America.

Sometime in the not to distant future it will become more apparent whether the European people line up meekly behind their current short sighted leaders or whether they confine them to the political wilderness that they so richly deserve, and in so doing regain the freedom that so many British and American Soldiers, Sailors and Airman sacrificed their lives to free them from the Nazi Tyranny that was the indirect result of similar short sighted elitist European leaders actions.

No one knows for certain at this stage which way things will pan out, but I am optimistic that common sense will prevail and we will see a change for the better on both sides of the Atlantic, if not we will all meet up again in hell along with the leaders that consigned us there.

To the European elitists who have been so hateful to our newly elected President and the people in our most patriotic states such as the great states of Texas and Alabama, etc:

You know nothing about us. Have you ever read our Declaration of Independence or our Constitution? We are about freedom which is why Mr. Trump was elected. American Patriots have had it with illegal immigrants, radical Islam/terrorism, corrupt politicians who trash our Constitution, welfare fraud, political correctness, etc. Europe is infected with this and it seems you will not recover. And yes, we love our guns!

We have always been a most generous people. Americans saved Europe twice during 2 World Wars and then we rebuilt you with the Marshall Plan after World War 2. Now Germany whines about paying for its own defense????

I truly feel compassion for ordinary Europeans because your politicians are flushing you down the sewer. How is all that diversity and multiculturalism working out for you?? You are not free.

There is nothing wrong with nationalism. For a country to survive it must maintain its culture, language, and borders. Many of us do not understand why Europeans cannot grasp this simple concept. Why do you allow illegal immigrants into your countries when they terrorize your citizens and commit so much crime? Do you really think they want to become part of your culture? They are laughing at you.

I sincerely hope Europe will survive. You have such a rich history and culture. Hopefully you will elect politicians who will stop all the current madness. I hope you will have freedom.

Fantastically foolish and ignorant and selfish Europe! You expect the US to continue to bankroll your defenses! You do not even expect to pay for the security of your own citizens and your borders! You hold on to just one way of looking at international relationship: the US must give you and your citizens security against threats from Islamic jihadists and threats of total annihilation from Islamic regimes and madmen from North Korea! But you're the first to rush to establish businesses in Iran! Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait; even though you know that there is no religious tolerance and respect for human rights and dignity in those nations! Your material pursuit is more important to you than standing up for what is just and fair for the citizens of the world! You watch Christians, women, children enslaved and killed arbitrarily in the Islamic countries and you do nothing!
You take the side of murderers hell-bent on exterminating the Jews because you do not want to offend the rich Islamic nations-so you close your eyes to injustice being carried on at the UN! Europeans are so steeped in political correctness that they cannot even call Islamic terrorism by name!
To think that we all held the Europeans in high regard believing them to be enlightened! Anyone who reads the views across Europe on the election of Donald Trump will be shocked to realize just how sick, foolish, selfish, Godless, ignorant, powerless and hopelessly blind the Europeans of today are. Europe had barely cloaked their disdain for the US and its citizens for so long. They've been practicing cunning and pretense to appear to stand with the Americans just because US carried all their security expenses and they did not even have to have an army! Because Trump is brave enough to call a spade a spade they have turned against him. Shame on Europe!

What I said above. To the anti-immigration east, Trump is a godsend and is cheered by a lot of people.

Even those who dislike him are usually basing their dislike on his personality and not his politics.

Perhaps the President chould reach out to these eastern states to find allies.

Europeans have waxed anti-American from time to time, particularly the press and the political class. But the people of most European countries have been friends to Americans since our founding. When George W. Bush was president, I traveled by train across France, and I found the French people disapproving of the American president and warm friends of the American people. This was not a unique moment, but one I have lived over and over in the course of five decades. I am sure many readers have similar experiences of longer duration. The nation state will never be replaced by a conglomeration...we are headed towards ever-increasing inter-national inter-dependency. But that reflects an organic phenomenon and not one that is ready for crystalization and bureaucratization. The socialist dream of uniting the world into a superstate with uniformity as its aim is not compatible with the dream that has made America rich, and which can make the whole world richer. Our American dream promises a better life for those who give it their all, each according to his capacity. It is flattering that Europeans have wished to model their union on ours...but it is not sensible and it will not endure.

It is really sad to see the level of criticism, the lack of substance with it, and the number of journalists trying to make money by creating conflict. I think Trump has thrived with current critics and will continue to and these journalist will continue to publish their dogmatic speculation based on their own dogma, that in the end don't make sense.

Labels such as White USA are a disparaging way of stereotyping conservative values often held by all races and a desire not to end up in the mess Europe is with unrestrained immigration. USA can't be strong militarily unless its strong financially. The link to immorality, duplicity, corruption, and excessive debt with economic decline is rarely mentioned, but are there none the less. Much of Trump's support was a vote against corruption the Clintons displayed so blatantly.

Note: Dogma in my definition is putting one favoured principle or idea above all other rational debate. Rarely does one principle relate to the whole argument, yet these people rationalise that if some one departs from their pre-selected dogma, they are no use to anyone e.g. if they are critical of excess immigration they are automatically racist - it is manipulative, some times intimidating, but ultimately ill considered dogma...

It is very true that during the long Obama period America become very weak and I trust very much that Trump will restore the lost glory and strength shortly. Because of the Obama's policy Europe become the dumping yard for condemned immigrants and radical Islamists.

The orchestration of ignorance and arrogance has composed an atonal masterpiece. Europeans should start LOOKING at what is going on and not assuming their gaggle of cronies knows what they are talking about. Americans are relatively smart, but not immersed in philosophy, nonetheless they decided against oligarchy (a particularly felonious element) and we are sickened by the chaos that is now Europe and by tribal theocrats in Arabia. Europeans have the clarity of true believers and see no evil, even as it assaults its daughters.

So, I recommend a little time out and some reflection. Real reflection, not bemoaning the latest PC and media gibberish. Consider you are exposed to mind control everyday, just as in the current anti American tripe.

We may be too late to stop the deterioration of pubic sense and morality, looking at the current childish college students (at brand colleges.) However, we are still quick on our feet, once the dead wood is cleared aside. So, take a stress pill and watch for a few months.

I read enough to realize how Europe ended up like it did. It's a bloody mess and yet those stupid leftists are blaming Trump? He isn't even President yet. Obama effed up the world.
Germany deserves the disastrous mess it's in. I feel sorry for the German public but they do insist on voting left every time. THEY JUST DON'T LEARN.
The outright hubris of leftists boggles the mind. To sum it up, here's the bottom line:
Europe is damaged beyond repair due to being run by far left Liberals for decades.
America was almost crushed thanks to ultra leftist Obama but now there's a lot of hope with Trump in charge.

"I know the kind who voted for Trump. I met them when I made reports in Texas, Montana, Arizona, Oklahoma, Alabama and other typically Republican states. They tend to be kind, religious and honest people, decent in their reduced social orbit"

Loved this quote. Loved it. It cracked me up. I am a native of Los Angeles. Not Oklahoma. I am not at all religious although my family is Jewish. I certainly don't have a "reduced social orbit" I have a PhD and have traveled, studied, worked and lived in Latin America, Korea and Europe. The Europeans have laughed at us since I first lived there in 1979 (as an exchange student to Denmark) they have hated us and been jealous since I can recall. They have felt smugly superior to us all while we paid for in money and American lives, their defense. I voted for Trump after I heard him say he was going to charge Europe for defense. I liked other things he said too. They are a crumbling, sad continent responsible for two world wars desperately trying to stay relevant. Goodbye Europe, I won't miss you.

The European countries are destroying themselves and are telling us how to run our country? We have poured millions of dollars into those countries and hundreds of thousands of our boys and girls are buried there while saving their a***s. I say---they can "Stick It" . The only reason they were pretending to like us lately is Obama was going to "equalize" our country down to theirs.

American voters have democratically elected a candidate committed to restoring American economic and military strength. I support Trump 100% because the world needs direction and strong leadership

Anyone with a very basic knowledge of recent history would know that America's wealth and power was to a large extent sucked out of Europe and Japan over a period of dominance created by the foolish wars we were sucked into from which only the USA profited. The classic conspiracy theory being that the Americans created these situations through the scheming and "investment" of the people like the Rothschild's.The whole of the non Russian European continent becoming puppet states of the U.S. In the years since then we have seen politics go into a state of decline, where we have found ourselves being "managed" (certainly not led) by people of diminishing ability. It doesn't take a genius to realise that state of affairs has to stop, and a new direction sought. Most of the so called great politicians of these times are remembered only for very small parts of their careers, and were as flawed as the rest of us. Churchill being a prime example. I, hopefully, see the eruptions in the body politic as signs of a hopeful emergence from a period of political squalor, for the sake of the generations to come.

Europe is done. The globalist uber-liberal European Union is doomed. Like Wiley Coyote who raced off the cliff, with legs churning he stares off into space in disbelief waiting for gravity to do its thing. That is Europe today.

An interesting but predictable confluence here. Europe's disdain for America was on the wane with globalist President Obama in the White House but anti-Semitism was on the ascent. Ah...the liberals.

Now that the embarrassed President of the US is packing his bags, his legacy rejected and shredded with the election of Donald Trump, the European cry babies have joined their American counterparts in the rejection of reality and American democracy.

Will Europe's decline be good for the Jews remaining there....assuredly not as once again history repeats itself and the European's search for a scapegoat to blame.

Europe is lost but there is hope that America will not follow Europe and Wiley Coyote off the cliff.

Mr. Kern's comprehensive essay should convince Americans with the cash to spare to bypass Europe as a vacation destination. After all, what is there now but a dying or suicidal civilization? If they are disliked and not welcome (because they are Americans) then Americans can go elsewhere. Though where is becoming harder and harder to identify. What part of the world hasn't become under the thumb of America-hating Islam?

There has been an amazing amount of hysteria in the media about Trump from well before his election.
One would think that we have a near perfect system which Trump, and only Trump, is bound and determined to upset.
Such stupidity and blindness always results in a fall.

As for Germany - ever since the unification of the German states under Bismarck in the mid 19th century Germany has been causing mega problems for Europe and elsewhere. And they are still at it. What is it in the German psyche which causes such recalcitrant idiocy?

The American electorate have liberated themselves from the draconian Political Correctness imposed upon them by the leftist elites

The European peoples have to do the same if they want a free and vibrant Europe

Trump will most certainly be a great president. Already he is surrounding himself with men and women who are realists and know that the greatest threat to human civilization in the 21st century is Fundamentalist Islam with or without Weapons of Mass Destruction

Trump will mend fences with Putin because Russia is not the enemy of either Europe or the USA. It was entirely due to the utterly misguided policies of Hillary & Obama to encroach upon the security of Russia that pushed Putin to be aggressive

I sincerely hope that 2017 will do to Europe what 2016 has done to the USA where "We the People" will liberate themselves

November 21, 2016. LeeJai Cook, Roaring Springs, Texas USA. It would appear that the U.S. should proceed as follows: [1] Put our own house in order, and then [2] determine our relationship to the rest of the world.

...of the way most of the British media has behaved against the president-elect. I am ashamed that although Britain may be reaching its target of 2% GDP for defence (and only by cooking the books) it is not doing more. We are effectively defenceless with a navy that can no longer protect our shores, an airforce that flies planes older that its pilots' fathers and an army smaller than what we fielded during the Napoleonic wars. We are now unable to win small wars, something we used to be very good at. Trump has every right to insist on countries like Germany paying their fair share for protection. America is a great country and with Trump as leader it can repair the damage Obama has caused and regain its role as the world's policeman, along with, I hope, a much stronger Britain.

Hi Soeren, the overall points you make are unarguably true, particularly your comments on the sovereignty grabbing megalomania that has become the liberal fascist EU. Yet here again we have the zero sum game in which our potential or actual allies in the war that really matters, who will always also be our competitors, are lumped together into a zero sum game. And to put North Korea in there with Russia and China, whatever the realities of China's backing for North Korea, is unhelpful. As is ignoring the interests of the US in its desire for a sensible alliance with Russia and China in the real war. The other piece missing from our Western perspective - though why we haven't included Russia as a Western nation since 1990 is a profound worry - is acknowledging that China and Russia have considered Islamism to be the same real and present danger at and within their borders and on their seas, as we have, and have acted accordingly. We have also all attempted to use Islamism against one another and are paying the price. As for US global leadership, the Democrats have shown far, far too much such leadership, almost as though being on the left themselves, they feel a visceral need to prove their anti-communist credentials by going at Russia. Not a set of policies that has worked for the West in 200 years and even less so now.

Concerning European anti-Americanism; it does my heart good to hear how frustrated and frightened the fat-cats and nobles of the EU are. They have been sucking off the reserves of the USA since WWII and are an indolent un-thankful bunch of hypocritical Cretans. They are the ones who run most of the drugs and human trafficking consortiums.

They play games with the lives of common people and sit upon their Chatham House commode of Inner London, as the Whore of Revelation. They have played the fool and acted as if gods, while parading down main-street on mule-back in their speedo attire.

Let them meow over and over, because Americans are not fearful of their proclamations and we can go it alone if we please. The idea that American philosophy came out of European behavior is a stench of rotgut. If any philosophy affected Americans, it was the Native American Iroquois and their Haudenosauncee confederacy and its rule of freedom. They thought it unconscionable that Europeans would consider other men better than themselves. The idea that all human beings were free to make up their own minds and were equal in rank was the dominant philosophy that invaded the thoughts of American colonists, and it is still resident in our patriots, and those with common sense!

Out of all the thieves in Europe the British are particularly adept at money laundering and political dissipation. While inspiring Dutch and Germans to make war with Russia and take in the Hordes of Mohammad, Britain exited the EU just in time to see Deutsche Bank hit rock bottom - but kept afloat by Inner London money launders and the Oman Sheikdom. Now that's a devilish hegemony of craft and praetorian reason.

I say leave the notables of Europe to themselves and see if they can keep their oligarchies form being overrun by "knuckle-draggers" from the Middle East.

Their answer is further restriction of free speech and more stringent prosecution for the spread of 'false rumours', plain and simple. Of course it will be officials who decide what a false rumour is, thus manipulating public opinion.

For example in Germany Volker Kauder, secretary of Merkel's CDU party, just announced plans to impose tight censorships on internet media which, due to lacking action within the EU, he intends to spearhead. He clearly states that if social media 'continue to lie', their freedom will be finished off. Authorities here saw quite well how successful Trump engaged social media in his favor. This is what scared them to the bone.

The prevailing elitists' attitude that the majority of citizens are plain stupid and thus should leave complex decisions about their future fate to the ones in power is nicely reflected here:

A piece of arrogance thru the roof.

I am glad that you used the term "European Elite" in connection with anti-Americanism. Normal Europeans are very well aware of the debt they owe to the USA, a debt which goes as far back to WW1, and are not anti-American, quite the opposite. Indeed a signicant proportion of Europeans are heartily sick of their so-called elites, who appear to be more interested in looking after their own interests rather than those of the people they claim to speak for. The media have long stopped reporting impartially about different views on such important matters as uncontrolled immigration from the Middle-East and North Africa. The only view that is deemed acceptable is that immigration is good. All who oppose it are evil or at best misguided, or just plain stupid. Take the media's rantings for what they, one sided reflections of what our elites want them to say.

When I lived in Europe during the early sixties the Europeans did not like Americans. They liked our money and our largess, but that is the only reason they tolerated Americans. Once they learn there is no "free lunch from Uncle Sam" anymore, maybe we can get down to business.

.... and antisemitism!

It would seem that the European liberal media has bought into our own US media. Most of what I read from the EU news is only an echo of the U.S. media. Same old same old.

Somehow most Europeans believe that the world, and especially America, owes them a living. The fact that Europe is sliding down a hole has nothing to do with Donald Trump, or any other American. Europe and its European Union have been in a hole for along time. Europeans prefer other people (non Europeans) to do their dirty work. The fact is that Europe has been sliding down this hole for some time. Europeans, usually, have very few children, and they go on too many vacations. So, they let in millions of people, without any vetting. People who have zero in common with them, hoping that these people will do the work for them. The only European who sees the light is Geert Wilder --- who, like me, hates political correctness --- good for him. Most Europeans know that it is too late and they are terrified. But please stop blaming Donald Trump, or any other American. The truth is --- you could use a Donald Trump right now, good luck. Thank you Soeren Kern and Gatestone.

Europe's enlightenment(?) is its light before the dark. Its Jews are being forced out by increasing anti-Semitism and its natives are being overwhelmed by radical Islamic immigrants. It better embrace Trump and America or it will embrace Islam.

.

semitismThey are

Aww, the poor babies. They may actually have to pay up, do more to solve their own problems, etc. It's ironic, in view of the current administration's failure to actually "lead the West." Anyway, maybe Europeans should follow the model of US universities, and set up "safe places" on a continent-wide basis. They should have crayons and coloring books, stuffed animals and dolls, and perhaps a pony to cuddle with.
Yes, this may be the end of the world as they've known it; and maybe that's a good thing.

Yes, Donald Trump is far from perfect, but Clinton???
When I read the above media comments, me think: the snakes are coming out of their hiding places, hissing and vomiting their poison and hatred of a man who is not a disciple (slave?) of the new religion: The New World Order! Go back into your lairs, you liars!

As one who has not been a Trump supporter, for reasons beyond political party ideals and loyalty, European reaction to the legal and constitutional election of Donald Trump may well engender within a kind of support no other factor would be able to do.

It has been common for Europe to perceive themselves better in every way than the United States while at the same time being a huge consumer of US products, trends and ways. It should be noted that if not for the European mass immigration to our country, the Native population on this continent may have held on to their way of life and land. It is Europeans that have made us what we are for we spring forth from them. The genetic connection cannot be denied.

Problem for Europe is this: the people of the United States, in the face of atrocities settling this country did a better job of insuring freedom, enterprise and prosperity of a middle class than European countries ever did. The green eye of jealously now glows bright in the "old country".
Not to mention, but we will, if not for the United States, all of, or at least most of Europe would be speaking German or Italian. If not for the United States, after WWII most of Europe would be a part of the USSR.

Now, they despise the U.S.A. because like spoiled children who have not had to sustain their own independence from totalitarian regimes, they have forgotten their own cost and the cost of their friends across the sea. The values which they now detest in America are the values that caused 1,700,000 to make the ultimate sacrifice during WWII.

However it is the United States of American that spoiled them and the motivation of the U.S.A. was only partly honorable. It causes little wonder that some in the U.S.A. would prefer to let Europe go its own way without the interference of help.

All the "experts" are so clever in formulating insults against Trump. Europe/EU, whatever, have for decades dhimmied themselves and never said booh to the obvious enemy. And the lame duck in the US has been the worst American president since Carter, maybe even worse. On No. 44 I agree with the author of the article and then also about the author's view of the EU. The No. 45 president will not be scared of the enemy. It's about time someone says stop, costing what it may. Better be politically incorrect and take the consequences than live as slaves in your own world.

Thank you for helping my decision on where to vacation in 2017 - no more visits to Europe for me and my family. I will spend it in the USA. Now I wonder if all the Europeans who own vacation properties in the US, particularly in FL, will sell them and quit coming here with empty suitcases to fill with bargains? Will be interesting.

I read these quotes from all the uber-intellectuals in Europe and can just SEE and FEEL the utter disdain for anyone who does not agree with them.

This is why they lost in the UK and here in the US. And, I hope, it will be the beginning of a tsunami where the common man rebels against their "Cloud People" rulers.

The European arrogance regarding President-elect Trump is foolish at best, and evil at worst. Plagued by an Islamic invasion, the European elites - soon to be roasted on spits by their "Moslem" guests are simply and willfully ignorant.

When I lived in Europe in the 1970's and later traversed through Europe on into the early 21st century, I often encountered arrogant, anti-Americanism directed at me, and America by Europeans. Their attitude seemed to be based on jealousy, that we won two of their wars with Germany for them, that our Marshall Plan revived their economies, and that we won't kowotw to them.

Anti-Americanism has been rampant since the end of WW2. Why? Because the French, especially, never accepted the fact that TWICE in less than 30 years, THE USA + ENGLAND + RUSSIA have saved them from GERMAN domination.
Nations, like individuals never like to accept their benefactors !
I did not like Obama, he was NOT a good President and his foreign politic has been NULL !
Globalization is NOT what it should - and could - have been. The error has been ( and it comes from Europe - read Germany -) to want a Political Union, when it should have remained at the Economic level like the EFTA.
Ask the Greek, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian etc. people ( not the so-called Elites) what they think about GLOBALIZATION !! Everything they buy comes from CHINA ! and then they cry because they have no jobs left ?
You can't have the butter and the money to buy it at the same time. You have to chose one.
All these comments come from the MEDIAS, whose employees are LEFTISTS at 95%, and from their employers - who are making huge profits out of this globalization. Of course they are against Mr. TRUMP. They are afraid to lose their business.
Do you think they care about THE PEOPLE ? HAHAHA !
Anyway, I will make a copy of this article and I fervently hope that President TRUMP will kick their arses ! That's all they really deserve.
Who has benefited from the so-called globalization ? CHINA above all and, of course, the "elites of the Western World and of the so-called" Emerging countries" (I live in one of them in South America since 1992 so I know what I'm talking about !) When, after 30 years of globalization, you still have 70% of your population under-employed OR totally unemployed, you cannot say that globalization has been a success. At least NOT A POLITICAL GLOBALIZATION with totally corrupt people managing it.
Long Live PRESIDENT TRUMP.
I was a European from the richest country. I am an economist, I speak 8 languages fluently, I spent 50 years of my life traveling around the planet selling hundreds of millions of dollars worth of merchandise manufactured in MY country. We did NOT have globalization at that time and we were living much better than now. ! I will never go back to EUROPE, last time was in 2009. And I did not like it at all ! not even for holidays.
Here I own 2 companies : one dealing in teak wood which we buy from plantations (we do not destroy the forests) and sell to India, and the second is ecological tourism in the Amazon, especially for European and North American tourists.
Have a nice day.

The insane immigration policies of Germany and other European countries has resulted in thousands of crimes, attacks, riots, rapes and murders by the Middle Easterners and Africans. Instead of admitting the error of their ways, Euro-elitists are doubling down, in the same arrogant, outrageous way as alt-leftists in the United States. As Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. said, "Sin has many tools but the lie is the handle that fits them all." Leftists are pathological liars, whose evil is spawned by their unbridled, prideful arrogance. They are so much smarter than anyone else, they think, that they could not possibly be wrong, about anything. Pride was the original sin. It is very deadly. Communists, Leftists, and ISIS, all demand their way or else, always with horrific consequences. Communists starved and slaughtered scores of millions. Muslim terrorists have murdered over 200,000,000 since the 1400's, and liberals have promoted the abortion of 35,000,000 innocent, unborn babies and the savage criminality by black youth who justify many of their actions to correct the "racism" that is all they have ever heard emanating from the mouths of their liberal handlers.

Meanwhile, Russia, Egypt, Syria, Iraq and even Iran are pleased that Trump will replace the man that wrecked the Middle East.

And Israel is pleased too.

It occurred to me today that Obama can be blamed in part for Brexit and if it happens, the break up of the EU.

Why?

His intervention in Libya, against his better judgement, and as a result of Hillary urging him to do so.

The intervention led to the flooding of Europe with refugees and was probably the main reason for Brits voting for Brexit.

They didn't want an open border to the refugees!

We should remember that it is mostly just the European elite that is opposed to Trump. There are many Europeans that are opposed to Brussels rule as Americans have been opposed to the policies of Obama. Do you really think the typical European is happy with being overrun by Muslim immigrants? With having simple jobs manned by people who hardly speak the language and who put native people out of work? With rampant crime in the streets and women raped and terrorized? With increased violent terrorism? The people of Europe are not stupid, just the leaders. Whether it is misplaced idealism or unwillingness to confront a problem, current European leaders are destroying Europe and are about to be voted out, just like Obama has been.

We, the "60 million xenophobic, misogynistic, bigoted, nationalistic, stupid, Americans" will now SPEAK!
How dare Europeans TAKE so much from America, in the form of AID, and GLOBALISTIC INTERESTS and THINK their hatred for us has anything to do with us.
In the face of so much proof of the failure of GLOBALISM, the only correct response to the election, would be one of sound reason! Instead, what we hear from the Europe-that-would-be-king-of-all, is whining like a passel of geese! The perfect irony is the criticism that stated, we, the electorate, are believers of mythological faiths, etc.. Well, if you read, carefully, just ALL the TITLES of the articles written, what you SEE is proof of attempts to "read the tea leaves" of the future....which sounds like "false prophesy" and those of us who rightfully follow Yeshua the Messiah's WORDS of prophecy, which have proven to be true, KNOW what that means, and KNOWS what that TELLS us about the most important REALITY of the state of Europe!
They are in a neurotic state and have what any good psychoanalyst would call PANIC DISORDER!
If you don't mind, Europe,...we will just let you simmer and stew and hope that maybe you will actually pause and take a deep breath but most importantly, we hope you will return to RATIONAL THOUGHT!!!!!

If I were Germany and other European countries I would be spending more on defense than on allowing more refugees into their countries to create the need for huge anti-terrorism budgets. Help the refugees in their own lands and make sure that Islamic countries open their doors to their co-religionists instead of using the wave of refugees as a way to Islamicize the world.

Donald Trump is the least of their worries - leftism and Islam and the fools who support these ideologies is the biggest threat.

The daggers are all pointed at Trump (today Obama said he would lead the leftist war on Trump once out of office) and the losers of the election cannot accept democracy, cannot understand why some people want to defend borders, do not realize that terrorism is evil and they seem to embrace a world government under an unelected UN totalitarian socialist Big Brother or its subsidiaries in the EU and OIC.

I voted for Trump because of my aversion to seeing the election rigged.
Hillary was using the media, that devoted 20 times the time to Trump's faults than Hillary's
I did it because people called me a NAZI when I Quoted Fox, or OAN news.
I tried to explain to them that opposition parties are our last shield against dictatorship and they stared at as if I was weird.
I voted for Trump because I had personally watched, no journalist explained it to me, how Obama made grand gestures toward immigrants and destabilized our entire Mexican Border. The man got the support of 85% of 40 million Hispanics, something that a Republican would have gotten hanged for and should be considered TREASON.
Yes. I voted for Trump because I was tired of BS.
What happened to the journalists and reporters that were around in force in the fifties when I grew up?
Now, they all speak with the same voice, that of the party machine.

This article makes me want to declare war against Merkel's Germany.

The family security company has offices in Berlin (& Washington & 12 other American Offices, 6 European offices besides Berlin, 6 Offices in the Middle East, 10 Offices in Asia and Australasia & 4 Offices in Africa)

In the early 21st century there were well over 1,000 ex SAS employed in Iraq, I was directly involved with the "family" firm in the first Gulf War.

Merkel has become a Direct threat to the entire European Region and it is time for her to stand down or face a European civil war.

The European Left liberal elite are as unrepresentative as the noblesse of pre revolutionary France and Russia were. They fail to realise that the votes in America and in the UK referendum were votes against their world view, and against them too.
The respectable working class - those Theresa May described as Just About Managing - have had enough of the liberal Left's core constituencies; extreme feminists, unskilled immigrants, in particular Moslems, and the benefits underclass. And this year they have made a point of voting.
Next year I expect - hope - they will turn out and vote for Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders.

Carrying 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' posters is just Europe practicing for their transformation into an Islamic continent, but six or seven European Trumps are waiting in the wings for next year's elections, and may well stop the dhimmis in their tracks.

From my perspective in the UK, this isn't so much contempt for the USA by European leaders as contempt for ordinary voters. They display the same arrogance towards their own populations.

In the case of NATO, they have become totally complacent believing that the current status-quo will prevail forever and that everyone is a decent human being who just wants to get along with everybody else. They are incapable of imagining that people want to actively change our way of life or at least, contemplating the sometimes unpleasant actions that might be required to maintain our way of life and status-quo.

Many of the liberal commentators ranting about Trump keep referring to liberal democracy. I am a liberal democrat who believes in true democracy and liberal economics. However, I do not sign up to:

* unfettered abortion
* gay marriage
* militant feminism
* restrictions on freedom of speech
* undemocratic and unaccountable institutions like the EU etc

They have stolen the term liberal democracy for their own ends

Europe has failed, not before infecting North America with multiculturism assumed to follow from globalisation. Brexit and Trumpism called a halt to the death wish embraced by the West. Convulsions by the progressives are painful but nothing like the pain Islam will inflict if it succeeds having jumped on the opportunity to catch the West in a stupor, since it let down its guard after WWII and guided by a corrupt UN bought with the oil riches that also nourished Radical Islam. We must now reverse the tide with the opportunities that are bound to arise.

Could it possibly be that the above lurid headlines across Europe reflect the mass ownership of the mass media by the 'tribe' who think their priveledged positions are under threat?

I also am becoming irritated by the constant criticism of Donald Trump. I admit to a little apprehension before the election concerning some of his promises. However I believe he will pull America back from the condition the Democrats have left it in. The demonstrators against Trump's election illustrate all that is bad in the country. I hope we hear little from the Clintons. I have always regarded America as a true friend, indeed I bought a condo in Fort Myers once. Once we can get rid of Merkel in Germany and Hollande in France, replacing the latter with Marine le Pen, Europe will be a better place. I voted for the UK to leave the EU. Good luck to Trump.

This is great! The politicians panicking! They are terrified that their plans to Islamise Europe using Saudi Cash is suffering a setback. They know that since Brexit and then with Donald Trump being President elect and with them seeing the rise of anti Muslim parties springing up in many European countries that their time is very nearly at an end! The people have spoken, they are fed up with having the plight of Muslim immigrants suffering rammed down their throats, particularly when hearing and at times witnessing some of these poor suffering Muslims attacking women and children in the countries that welcomed them. The EU elitists, as well as Obama, hate their well laid plans for changing European culture being put on hold because of uncertainty. I love it when they are uncertain, it prevents them making even more stupid decisions and actually makes them think before acting on their damaging policies.

The hatred of the US is promoted in the EU by Islamists pushing their own agendas, they want to have some control over the direction the countries of the EU will take, and they want to ensure that Muslims are at the top of the lists for housing and the building of more Mosques. By ensuring more Mosques are built, the Muslims can then make claims to even more areas surrounding Mosques, because they know full well that ordinary people will move out of the area and leave it to them! The governments in European countries conveniently refuse to recognise this fact, but if you were to see for yourself, then you'd know the truth. Governments lie to keep the peace between the "communities" even when they know the dirty tricks going on in their own areas, that seriously impact on peoples lives.

Donald Trump has got his priorities correct, he's putting the American people first, most opposition comes from those who shouldn't be in the country or hair brained fools who will oppose anything just for the hell of it!

I seriously hope that he makes the EU numpties stop and think about how silly and damaging their policies have been to European people. We in Britain have been on the end of their venom ever since we voted to get out, and they don't like the fact that some other countries are showing discontent with their views. Merkel made the biggest mistake by opening the doors, as a result Britain wanted out, and it now looks as though others want out also. Great!

I hope Donald Trump does turn the US around, get's rid of all those who are illegal or enemies of the state, and makes America great again. Many in Britain support him!

Just like the mainstream American media, their European counterparts, and globalists, in general, are totally out of touch with reality and what ordinary working people want and need. The proverbial "man on the street" doesn't want their globalist utopian ideology. They have learned nothing from the Brexit vote and less from the Trump victory. They have forgotten that the United States saved them not once but twice from dictatorial monsters, such as Hitler and Stalin, not to mention the fact that World War I was won by the allies, thanks to American intervention. Trump ought to make a visit to the thousands of graves of American soldiers in France and other countries, American lives lost so that these globalists can be free to propose their nefarious ideology.

It is a curious fact that Britain and France supported the Confederates in the Civil War, and that Russia supported the North. There is a good hope that Trump and Putin will be able to establish good relations between the U.S, and Russia and this can promote peace in the world.

It must have been quite the ordeal to assemble such a collection of mindless euro-leftist clichés.

Yes, Ridiculous and Sad, because the Europeans whose writings are reported here are blind to what is happening in Europe. Europe is disintegrating, most - if not all - Western European countries are swiftly falling under Islam and the people who think like the authors of these articles are doing everything they can to prevent restoration of the past greatness of Europe.
Multiculturalism combined with the totally immoral idea than new immigrants are entitled to the same social benefits as those who have contributed to the welfare of their country are rapidly causing economical bankruptcy.
Sad to say, but perhaps the only thing that will save Europe from going under Islam is - Vladimir Putin.
Perhaps Trump will make a deal with Putin:
"I'll make America Great Again, YOU make Europe Great Again"!!

I was thoroughly entertained with reading about the European meltdown. I hope we keep many up late at night. Leftists don't actually care if people go hungry and have no work. They care only about their own concepts, which are generally quite detached from the living conditions of the average person. Being cataleptic over our victory is their karma for cruel indifference.

According the Liberal loonies in the EU "60 million idiots voted for Trump" to be their president.

Problem is that ZERO voted for Juncker, Mogherini, Ashton, Timmermans, Schulz a.o. to be their leaders.

The reign of the US 'leader from behind, who has steered America into globalism but the world into complete chaos & lunacy is coming to an end and the new Sheriff in town has to clean up his mess & message.

Hopefully he will succeed and prove all the leftist acid pissers, who haven't made one accurate prediction, wrong.

I gave these articles the attention they deserved yypical of the criticism our relatives across the pond feel for America and Americans in general. We as a nation have rebuilt Germany after the war and continued pushing money over to defend Germany has been more successful than most because of its talented people. America has degraded our education but rely's on imported talent. We as a nation tire of a generosity that brings only criticism. We have elected a president who will cut off the flow from the eternal teat that so many Europeans have come to rely on. As you see the end coming and the need to support yourselves the idea chafes. Many can offer plenty of criticism but no true solutions come forth. I could start my own list of problems with your government but they are yours to handle. Sweep your own steps clean befor you look to your neighbor.

In my opinion, Der Spiegel's got it absolutely right: Mr. Trumps's arrival in the White House will most certainly change the world-as-we-know-it ! ! ! Whereas we have been getting so used to Political Correctness and conditioned to watching the endless 'Islam-Horror-Show' on our televisions, without blinking an eye: NOW there will be a REAL LEADER of the so-called Free-World who has the unenviable task of changing this Upside-Down world of ours back to "Normal" !
From the moment Mr. Trump takes the reigns, 2 + 2 shall once again add-up to "4" !
I for one, am really looking forward to this changing of our world, - and I only just hope that Trump got there in time . . . .
