🚨BREAKING: Trump & Meloni's White House meeting REVEALS major shift in US-EU relations.

Italian Prime Minister Meloni tells Trump that together, they can ’make the West great again.’

Buckle up for what REALLY happened... 🧵

2/ Trump, being Trump: "Nobody can compete with us, NOBODY." Which is literally true: the world exports to the U.S.: that's exactly why we have a huge trade deficit. We buy their stuff. They need us more than we need them.

Meanwhile, the Enemedia stays SILENT about that.

3/ HUGE: Meloni pledging allegiance to anti-woke movement & promising to fight DEI ideology. Finally, a European leader who GETS IT 🎯

4/ 🔥 Trump's new tariff plan:

- EU: 20%
- Japan: 24%
- Taiwan: 32%
- South Korea: 25%

UNLESS they negotiate a free trade deal and open their markets to U.S. exports.

The establishment is PANICKING

5/ Remember: Meloni was the ONLY European leader at Trump's inauguration. The rest? Too busy pushing their globalist agenda

6/ NATO BOMBSHELL: Trump wants 5% GDP spending. Most allies can't even hit 2%.

Guess who's promising to step up? Meloni 🎯

It's about time.

7/ Meloni is expected to play a significant role in solving the trade tensions between the U.S. and the EU.

“I’m sure we can make a deal, and I’m here to help,” she told reporters before the two leaders entered the Oval Office for further discussions.

8/ Trump has been saying for years that the ideal outcome is zero tariffs and trade barriers. But Europe has been one of the most intransigent holdouts, closing key markets to U.S. exports.

FOUR TIMES our tariff on cars? The Common Agricultural Policy?

Shape up or lose access.

9/ Hopefully, Meloni can help other EU leaders see the light. The whole world will be richer if we can get to zero-zero tariffs. And Trump is right: American producers can out-compete ANYBODY.

That's why our "partners" have rigged the game.
