Welp, this was quite a podcast interview with Jonathan Swan of the New York Times.

"The group of people around Trump — including Donald Trump — have utter contempt for Europe ... They view Britain as weak, ungovernable, fragmented, almost PATHETIC." pic.twitter.com/up6NNn71OP
Well, if the truth hurts, say ow.
It's not just Trump. https://t.co/Dat5E1nEXN

It's a whole lot of people, actually.
Welp🤷♀️ https://t.co/Fquv21HJ8z

What do you do?
Why is Jonathan Swan trying to cause problems between the US and Britain? Many people around Trump believe that the people of Britain are top notch, top tier, and in general, swell people. It's only the British government that is the problem.

Surely, Trump and his administration have good things to say about Europe, too.
Here’s one reason. pic.twitter.com/76nWTsLHEA

Well, that's weird.
Serious? Simply atrocious and bizarre at best.
— MauiSurfsUp (@SurfsMaui) July 22, 2026
That's also a good way to put it.
The correct view.

They are kind of a mess.
All very true. Europe is the ultimate cucked continent. They haven't been in charge of there destiny since WW2.

This is breaking news to absolutely no one.

He just wants more for Europe than it wants for itself.
It's like a parent watching the child flail around and waste all their talents.
That isn't news. Rubio famously said to them "we will not preside over your decline"

That was a big clue.
“We in America have no interest whatsoever in being the polite and orderly caretakers of the west’s managed decline” -GOATSOS Marco Rubio
— Oh Hi Mark (@ColoradosMark) July 22, 2026
That's pretty clear.
Well, we are all on the same page then.

Most of your European leaders are being controlled by the world economic forum.

That's unfortunate.
He's right ...

No lies detected.

When Trump is right, he's right.
as does everyone else...the EU is pathetic
— NoOne (@NoOne30051497) July 22, 2026
No one in their right mind has contempt for Europe. We do have contempt for many of Europe's current political leaders and the Left wing policies they have implemented. With current birth rates and immigration rates, Europe will be predominantly Muslim in less than 50 years.

This is more precise.
Trump pushed Europe to pay its share in NATO and wants fair trade deals. Complaints and name calling are childish.
— Carrie Shawver (@shawver16314) July 22, 2026
Trump wants them to pay their fair share and they don't like that. That seems like a them problem, actually.
