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.”

    It wasn’t about the colour of the shirt; that’s what you took from my comment?

    lol okay, my point had nothing at all to do with colours.

    Brownshirt == fascist paramilitary force

    Redcap == fascist paramilitary force

    Orange shirt == ?? Uh, maybe someone who should retake cosmetics finals?

    e: Oohh, you’re ai right? That’s something to be proud of I guess. (I’m joking)

        Sorry, I was a bit drunk and mixed up a couple of things in my head. (I didn’t see the usernames and thought I was still talking to the same ‘yes and’ troll.)

        I’m a dipshit and should know better than to be online when drunk. That’s my bad.

      Nice insult, I guess? Is that the new thing instead of calling someone a bot?

      Anyways, I guess the explanation of how OP took the traditional brownshirt and updated it to fit the color that represents Trump in order to propose that his fascist forces could be called ‘orangeshirts’ just kinda flew over your head, huh? It’s ok, maybe you’ll get it somewhere down the line.

        No, sorry. I mixed things up in my head and didn’t realise you weren’t the troll I’d replied to, so I was overly aggressive. I was kinda drunk, and I should know better than to be online inebriated. I sincerely apologise.

        e: I’ve downvoted myself as penance.

          It happens. Apology accepted. You don’t have to downvote yourself, lol.

          Thank you for being mature enough to recognize the situation for what it was and to reply with honest self-reflection.
