Europe’s embattled, deeply unpopular globalist leaders are feeling rattled this week after President Donald Trump delivered one of his sharpest assessments yet of the continent’s political decline.
During a wide-ranging interview with the regime-aligned outlet Politico, he argued that Europe is increasingly less a pillar of Western civilization and more a continent drifting into weakness and irrelevance through its own choices.
Trump said Europe’s leaders have become paralyzed by political correctness, unable to defend their borders or take responsibility for the catastrophic crises their policies have created.
According to the president, the ceaseless waves of illegal, unvetted migrants—most of whom are military-aged men from cultures alien to the West—arriving on the continent are the direct result of so-called ‘leaders’ who “won’t send anyone back” and who fear being called bigoted.
Trump warned that the collapse is not theoretical but measurable in real time: rising crime, societies deeply socially fractured, and economies and welfare systems under immense pressure by uncontrolled mass migration. He blamed European globalist elites for caring more about virtue-signaling than national survival.
On Ukraine, Trump noted that the same out-of-touch, globalist political class that lectures him about democracy cannot even persuade Kyiv to hold elections. He openly questioned how a country like Ukraine, led by a despotic leader like Zelensky, can claim democratic legitimacy while indefinitely postponing a presidential vote.
Trump argued that Ukrainian officials are “using the war” to avoid accountability, something Europe refuses to confront. He added that the conflict predated his presidency by years, despite attempts by EU leaders to pin the entire situation on Washington.
Additionally, the president criticized Europe’s role in peace talks, saying EU officials “talk too much” while offering no realistic plan to end the war. He emphasized that if Europe wants endless war, “they’re free to keep funding it,” but the United States will not be foolishly dragged along.
He said Vladimir Putin benefits from a divided and indecisive Europe, a truth the continent’s entrenched political class refuses to admit. In Trump’s view, Moscow is exploiting a vacuum left by leaders too timid to defend their own interests.
Despite what may appear to some as harsh words, Trump said he maintains cordial and even friendly relations with many European heads of state. He clarified, however, that he can distinguish between “strong leaders” and those who are simply keeping the seat warm.
He noted that some European governments remain committed to border security, specifically praising Hungary and Poland. These nations, he said, still understand that sovereignty means controlling who enters the country.
By contrast, he accused Germany, Sweden, and other Western states of surrendering to mass migration and losing the cultural cohesion and high-trust societies that once made them strong. He warned that if these trends continue, some countries “will not be viable much longer.”
Trump argued that Europe’s predicament is a cautionary tale for Americans eager to avoid the same fate. He said the United States must reject the globalist ideology that hollowed out Europe before it corrodes America in the same way.
The president’s critique aligns with the themes in his new National Security Strategy, which casts off decades of polite diplomatic language. The document frames America’s role not as Europe’s caretaker but as a nation reclaiming its own interests.
Trump said Washington will no longer be guilt-tripped into subsidizing policies that Europe won’t enforce or defend on its own soil. He added, likely to the great dismay of Euroglobalists, that the old transatlantic model is “a relic,” no longer suited to the world as it exists today.
In the emerging world order, Trump argued, nations must be strong enough to secure their borders, choose their interests, and defend their civilization without apology. Europe, he said, must rediscover that principle—or watch itself fade.
