BREAKING: Italy's deputy PM and foreign minister Antonio Tajani just CANCELLED his planned diplomatic trip to Washington on monday, declaring that Trump's "serious and offensive words" directed at the prime minister "offend all of Italy."
This comes after Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni TORCHED Donald Trump after he claimed she “begged” him for a photo at the G7 and that he only took it because he “felt sorry for her.”
The Italian PM was wondering.
"I don’t know why the president of the United States behaves this way with his own allies; it’s not the first time this happens."
She went on saying, "I can only say that I’m sorry he doesn’t show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, whose leaders he instead shows himself to be much more accommodating towards."
Italy's prime minister is a boss lady.
Today we mark an important day, Juneteenth. Not just because it is a federal holiday, but because it’s part of our history. Today marks the day when news of emancipation reached the last enslaved people in Texas, two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued. It is a day to think about the importance of freedom and the work that still needs to be done in the name of freedom, the work that so many are working to ensure. As Opal Lee, the grandmother of this very holiday reminds us, we must learn from our history so that it never happens again. We must continue to learn the lessons of the past, so that we can be kinder, better, and more informed. We must continue to learn from what was, in order to make the future better. If we do not learn from the past, then we cannot keep moving forward! #juneteenth
Juneteenth marks the celebration of America's second independence day.
Like the people in this photo—celebrating the day in 1900—we know that progress hasn't made our union perfect. But we can recommit to reaching toward that more perfect union together.
Happy Juneteenth.
By taking ZERO shit from the most repulsive misogynist, bully, and pedophile on the planet — Italian prime minister Giorgia Meloni just become a heroine around the world.
Today, Hillary and I were honored to be on the South Side of Chicago to celebrate the opening of the Obama Presidential Center. The Obama Center tells the story of eight years of progress, and is a stirring reminder of the power—and responsibility—we have as citizens shape a better future.
Congratulations, Barack and Michelle, on this extraordinary accomplishment!
Italian PM Meloni to Trump:
So, certain things deserve an immediate response.
Donald Trump's statements are completely fabricated. I am frankly appalled. I don't know why the President of the United States behaves this way towards his allies; after all, it's not the first time it's happened.
I can only say it's a pity that he doesn't show the same determination with the enemies of the West, with the enemies of the United States, with leaders towards whom he instead proves to be much more accommodating.
But he must remember one thing: Italy and I never beg.
