Juncker threatens to promote Ohio independence after Trump’s Brexit backing

[FakeNews]

VALLETTA, Malta — European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said Thursday he would promote the independence of U.S. states if Donald Trump continues to encourage EU countries to follow the U.K.’s example and leave the bloc.

At a meeting of leaders of the center-right European People’s Party in Malta, Juncker said Brexit would not be the end of the European Union — even if some people, such as Trump, would like that outcome.

In response to White House claims that Trump was “a leader on Brexit,” Juncker declared: “If that continues, I’ll call for Ohio to be independent and Texas to leave the United States.”

Juncker’s remarks came a day after Britain formally notified the EU that it intended to depart.

Juncker can be an asshole.

So can someone else. 'Trump a leader on Brexit' only means that he gets on with Nigel Farage of UKIP.

Someone should point out to Junker that the people in the US don't like it very much when foreigners try to tell us what to do in our own house.

In fact, we can be down-right irritable about it. To the point that if we have to come over there and tell them European's AGAIN to keep their noses out of our business, we're up for it.

Guess what! Firstly Trump started the giving of gratuitous advice. Secondly Europeans don't respect Americans, especially American politicians sufficiently, to give a shit what they think about anything.

Although one must admit, it is amusing to watch how far the US President will insert himself into Putin's rectum.

Junker's interventions in the discussions before the UK's Brexit referendum might have persuaded some to vote "Fuck off Juncker and the EU" for the same reason.

Many Leave voters were fed up with the EU's intervention in their lives, and EU people like Juncker telling them 'EU Mummy knows best'.

Junker who?



Why do I give a rat's ass about what some asshole in Europe thinks?

Get back to me when they politely ask us to leave because they can defend themselves without our military and money.

Didn't Obama have a bromance with Juncker?

Or am I confusing Juncker with the ethically challenged Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau?
