Donald Trump told the president of the European Commission in 2020 that the US would “never come help” if Europe was attacked and also said “Nato is dead”, a senior European commissioner said.

Multiple news outlets said the exchange between Trump and Ursula von der Leyen at the World Economic Forum in Davos in 2020 was described in Brussels on Tuesday by Thierry Breton, a French European commissioner responsible for the internal market, with responsibilities including defence.

“You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,” Trump said, according to Breton, who was speaking at the European parliament.

According to Breton, Trump also said: “By the way, Nato is dead, and we will leave, we will quit Nato.”

    Even having Trump on the ballot is risking civil war or at least collapsing of the union. I imagine a fight over him lying that he won again will be enough of a spark in the powder room.

    And remember, the problem has NEVER been Trump. He’s just a stupid, fat, orange moron. The US is fucked bc Trump supporters exist and are tolerated.

    The GOP gives aid and comfort to the enemies of the constitution and the country. They’re not a legitimate party, or even citizens.

      > GOP gives aid and comfort to the enemies of the constitution and the country

      I don’t think the protesters arrested at L and 12 on Jan 20, 2017 would agree, and they were more committed to stopping Trump’s presidency than anyone I can think of.
