President Donald J. Trump had strong words for the warmongering European chiselers who exploited the nation under President Joe Biden, accusing leaders across the pond of having “raped and pillaged” the U.S.
Trump’s frank remarks came during a Fox News interview with Laura Ingraham, the second part of which aired on Wednesday when the discussion turned to the economy and what to expect, including a possible recession.

“Will we see a recession in 2025?” Ingraham asked. “Are you ruling it out?”
“We’re gonna have the strongest economic country in the history of the world, of the planet,” Trump responded. “We are taking in so much money. Now, some people are unhappy because, you know, it has to come from somewhere. Some of it’s gonna come from Europe because not everybody’s gonna be doing as much business in Europe and other places.”
The president said that he is “a nationalist” and “proud of it” as he blasted Biden for the obscene amount of money that was shoveled into the notoriously corrupt Eastern European country of Ukraine and given to Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his regime, with crooked U.S. politicians likely getting a cut.
“How do interest rates end up going down when we’re servicing our debt to the tune of about $1.2 trillion a year and they’re still deficit spending in Congress?” Ingraham asked, turning to interest rates and the spendthrift Congress. “How do we do that?”
“We have to pay off our debt,” Trump replied. “We have to start paying it off. We’re very under-leveraged when you look at the asset value of this country, but we’re over-leveraged in terms of cash flow. We’re gonna have big cash flow, we’re gonna take in.”
“For years, we allowed our country to be raped and pillaged,” he added. “Raped and pillaged. Terrible expressions and that’s what happened. Much of it was done by our friends. Look at the European Union. We can’t sell cars to them, but they sell millions of cars to us. They don’t take our agricultural product, but we take theirs. The days are changing, we’re not gonna let this happen.”
“The U.S. doesn’t have Free Trade. We have ‘Stupid Trade.’ The Entire World is RIPPING US OFF!!!” Trump said in a post to Truth Social last week.
Trump has also threatened to put a 200 percent tariff on French wines in response to EU tariffs on American goods which would drive the price up for the wine-swilling elitist snobs of the Acela Corridor, some of the biggest critics of Trump’s efforts to stop the U.S. from being “raped and pillaged” by the Euros.
“The European Union, one of the most hostile and abusive taxing and tariffing authorities in the World, which was formed for the sole purpose of taking advantage of the United States,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
The president’s comments come at a time when relations between the U.S. and Europe are fraying with tariffs and ending the proxy war on Russia in Ukraine contributing to the differences.
There is also the matter of the return of fascism to the continent with the European Union and authoritarian leaders engaging in a brutal campaign of political repression by nullifying the results of elections, banning or jailing opposition leaders, and worst of all, ruthlessly cracking down on free speech with their addiction to censorship and severe punishment of dissenting voices.
Once again, Trump nailed it.
