I’ve been watching the world wake up to something I’ve been saying for years, and frankly, it’s about time. President Trump has done what great communicators do. He’s taken complicated realities and distilled them into plain language that ordinary people understand. That’s his superpower. He speaks to the man and woman who actually pays the bills, raises the kids, and wonders why everything keeps getting more expensive while the people in charge keep telling them everything is fine.

What we’re witnessing isn’t really about Trump at all. What we’re witnessing is the exposure of a fraud that’s been running for decades. Europe has made itself irrelevant. They’ve destroyed their own economies, gutted their industrial capacity, hollowed out their militaries, and squandered whatever diplomatic influence they once had. And now someone has finally said it out loud in a way that can’t be ignored.

Think about it. Europe represents about twelve percent of the world’s population. They generate roughly a quarter of the world’s economic output. And they consume sixty percent of the world’s welfare spending. That’s not a civilization preparing for the future. That’s a civilization in hospice care, arguing about what color to paint the walls.

The Americans, behind closed doors, call Europeans freeloaders. Are they wrong? I don’t think so. When you hire someone to do a job, and they can’t do it, won’t learn how to do it, but still expect the paycheck and the benefits, you fire them. In business, that’s called deadweight. In life, those are the neighbors who contribute nothing but always show up when there’s something to take. Event
