On Friday, there I was telling you all about the European Union taking their best shot at showing Trump he wasn’t the boss of them by pinkie-swearing to spend somewhere in the neighborhood of €800B to beef up Europe’s defense and security posture. €700B+ of that would come from the various EU member states themselves, while the Brussels Brahmins would kick in another €150B or so from their excess cash cookies jar to help out with ‘military purchases,’ whatever that covered.
…EU president Ursula Von der Leyen, everyone’s favorite Disney witch, got to talk tough and lead the European Trump resistance. A resistance that is only reluctantly physically transitioning from Euro-trash talk from the peanut gallery to brass tacks because Trump told them to go pee up a rope. So they were forced to do something.
