President Trump denounced Europe as a “decaying” group of nations led by “weak” people, Politico reports.

“The broadside attack against European political leadership represents the president’s most virulent denunciation to date of these Western democracies, threatening a decisive rupture with countries like France and Germany that already have deeply strained relations with the Trump administration.”

tRump is a distraction, his reich wing puppeteers use his dumb actions to keep the focus off the nefarious things they are up to in the background.
