Trump claims multiple countries want him to act as Europe’s leader in strange speech

Some reacted with humor, with one American joking: “Great. When can we drop him off in Europe?”

Another user dismissed the claim outright, saying: “European nations are not reporting that. He clearly has emperor fantasies.”

The comments come shortly after Trump sharply criticized European leaders in an interview with Politico, labeling them “weak” and “decaying.”

He accused them of failing to manage migration and bring an end to the war between Russia and Ukraine, while suggesting he might support European political figures who align with his own views.

“I think they’re weak,” Trump said. “They want to be politically correct. They don’t know what to do. Europe doesn’t know what to do.”
