“The only person he cares about is himself,” a Biden campaign spokesperson said.
President Joe Biden’s campaign attacked former President Donald Trump on Wednesday for saying that he wouldn’t protect Europe if it were attacked.
“The idea that he would abandon our allies if he doesn’t get his way underscores what we already know to be true about Donald Trump: The only person he cares about is himself,” Biden campaign spokesperson Ammar Moussa told POLITICO on Wednesday.
The broadside comes a day after a senior European politician recounted how Trump privately warned years ago that America would not come to the EU’s aid.
“‘You need to understand that if Europe is under attack we will never come to help you and to support you,’” Trump told European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in 2020, according to French European Commissioner Thierry Breton, who was present for their chat at the World Economic in Forum in Davos.
I don’t believe that it would benefit America very much if Europe were to orient itself more towards China.
Frankly, I’d do it in a heartbeat if the only other option was Russia. I much prefer the current North America+Europe+Far East block though. If China got sane, finally threw CCP to the garbage bin where it always belonged and joined Taiwan, I would happily have it in the Far East part of that block.
I feel the same way. However, if the Americans elect Trump and he actually governs as he announces in his polemical election campaign, I no longer see any overlap at all with the ideological values that we have shared up to now; at least in theory that is. Then I have to say that closer cooperation with an inhuman communist regime seems to me the lesser evil than a continued cooperation with a fascist turbo-capitalist autocracy. I really hope it won’t come to that.
