European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen just showed her true globalist colors, threatening an "unflinching, united, and proportional" response to President Trump's proposed tariffs while cozying up to the World Economic Forum crowd in what can only be described as a masterclass in swamp behavior.

Von der Leyen's defiant stance comes after Trump rightfully called out the EU for their pathetic lack of support regarding Greenland – yet another example of so-called "allies" who expect American protection while stabbing us in the back on trade.

But here's where it gets really rich, Patriots. While threatening retaliation against Trump's America First policies, von der Leyen had the audacity to embrace what the WEF calls "A Spirit of Dialogue" – because nothing says genuine cooperation like making threats at a globalist gathering run by Klaus Schwab and his unelected technocrat buddies.

The EU's Empty Tough Talk

Von der Leyen's so-called "European independence" is laughable when you consider that Europe has been freeloading off American military protection for decades while engaging in unfair trade practices that have cost American workers millions of jobs. Now that we finally have a President who puts America First, suddenly they want to play hardball?

"The EU commits to an unflinching response while preferring cooperation," von der Leyen declared, apparently missing the irony of making threats while claiming to want dialogue.

This is exactly the kind of globalist double-speak that got us into this mess in the first place. The European elites want all the benefits of American partnership with none of the responsibilities, and they're furious that Trump won't let them continue ripping us off.

President Trump's tariff strategy isn't just about trade – it's about finally holding these globalist freeloaders accountable. While von der Leyen plots with WEF elites about "European independence," Trump is delivering real independence for American workers and businesses.

The question Patriots need to ask is this: Why should American taxpayers continue subsidizing European defense while they threaten our economic interests? It's time these globalist bureaucrats learned that the days of taking advantage of America are over.

I work in manufacturing and saw firsthand how unfair trade deals devastated American workers for decades. Trump's tariff strategy is exactly what we need to level the playing field and bring jobs back home.

Thanks for sharing your experience. This is why we need leaders who prioritize American workers over global elites.

Von der Leyen talking about 'independence' while being a globalist puppet at WEF is peak irony. Trump's tariffs are about putting America first, something these EU elites will never understand.

Exactly! They preach independence while being completely dependent on globalist agendas.

Why is the EU so threatened by Trump's policies if they're supposedly so confident in their own economic strength? Their panic tells you everything you need to know.
