‘Too much has happened’: A Europe rattled by Trump’s first month meets his vice-president

BRUSSELS — After President Donald Trump’s raucous first month in office, Europeans have reacted with demonstrations, counter-barbs and sheer angst that a century of trans-Atlantic friendship may be sinking.

“Too much has happened,” European Union leader Donald Tusk said Monday, “for us to pretend that everything is as it used to be.”


Duelling Donalds?

Throwing tea overboard 2017?

What does Tusk think has happened

that he 'blames' Trump for as your link and your own comments suggest? HE didn't bring on Brexit....HE didn't bring in terrorists and refugees into the EU countries that has destroyed their economies and caused total chaos from attacks. Tusk is right....they CAN'T pretend that everything is as it used to be....but it's NOT because of a President that's only been in office for 30 days.....THEY brought that crap on all by themselves and now that so many of those in the EU have their populations screaming for actual BORDERS, what did he EXPECT would stay the same?

What does Tusk think has happened that he 'blames' Trump for

From the link I provided...

Beyond Trump’s orders on immigration, few of the administration’s policies have unsettled many European nations as much as his ban on funding for international groups that perform abortions or provide information about abortions to women in developing nations.

From the quirky to the fundamental, covering anything from abortion to trade, defence and relations with Russia,

On Saturday, Trump alluded to past terror attacks in the EU and said: “Look what’s happening last night in Sweden.” The president’s comment left Swedes confused since nothing remotely linked to extremist action had troubled the country on Friday night.

“Sweden? Terror attack? What has he been smoking? Questions abound,” former Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt tweeted.

Trump said in tweet on Sunday: “My statement as to what’s happening in Sweden was in reference to a story that was broadcast on @FoxNews concerning immigrants & Sweden.”


You say "THEY brought that crap on all by themselves?"...

THEY don't need HIM bringing any more crap....

How much funding does Canada

give to international groups that perform abortions?

THEY don't have the right to dictate what OUR president does with OUR economy either. IF they don't want the 'chaos' in their countries, they have to take responsibility for what's happening in those countries. TRUMP didn't do it to them.

The fact that only two or three countries out of 28 are living up to their NATO standards isn't Trump's fault. Clean up your own backyard before you tell others what to do, and whatever your fears are, do something about them other than complain. Sounds like their leaders need some 'puppy' or 'crayon' therapy for being entitled 'snowflakes'.
