The Spin

Left narrative

As Trump's bully tactics grow more severe, there's no reason for the EU to cower. With a 17-trillion-euro GDP and 450 million consumers, the bloc wields immense economic power. To stay strong and sovereign, it must unify its fragmented markets, harmonize industrial policies, and invest in innovation. Capitulating to lopsided deals weakens Europe's global standing. Bold reforms and democratic legitimacy can ensure the EU thrives against U.S. protectionism.

Right narrative

EU elites, led by von der Leyen, betray their nations with lopsided deals like the one with Trump, prioritizing Brussels' power over citizens' welfare. While Trump defends American interests with bold tariffs, the EU imposes mass migration and Net Zero policies to erode sovereignty, fueling populist revolts. Europe's unelected leaders are ignoring reality, risking a century of social and economic humiliation.
