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