Trump's latest feud is with one of his pals, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Maloney. Trump claimed Maloney begged
00:00:06
him for a photo of last week's G7 summit in France. Maloney responded with a video on Instagram, which was quite
00:00:12
remarkable, calling Trump's claims totally fabricated and saying, "Ital and I never beg." She also accused Trump of
00:00:17
being more comating to the enemies of the West than his own allies. boy, this woman, even though, let's be clear,
00:00:22
she's anti-gay marriage, she's anti-trans, she's anti-immigrant, she's Marjorie Taylor Green essentially, this
00:00:28
is the European version of her. And at the same time, I was like, go Georgia. >> Greatness is in the agency of others.
00:00:36
And European countries have been our strongest allies. We share same values, same democracies. We've worked together.
00:00:42
The postworld war II world was largely shaped by America and European values. And Trump decides again, he's figured
00:00:50
out a way to manage to feud with and alienate allies while simultaneously praising adversaries. We've spent 80
00:00:56
years developing these alliances and Trump treats them like some sort of fantasy football league.
