    Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini excoriated German
    Chancellor
    Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday,
    accusing
    them of having “ruined” Europe -- after Merkel said he wasn’t
    welcome in
    her center-right European party.

    "It is we who do not want to have anything to do with Merkel
    and with
    Emmanuel Macron and with those who have ruined this Union,” he said
    in San
    Severo, according to Libero Quotidiano.

    “We want to save Europe, which is not that of bureaucrats, bankers,

    financiers and those who have ruined it in recent years," he
    said.

    Salvini is leader of the right-wing League, which is in coalition
    with the
    anti-establishment Five-Star Movement. But he has quickly become
    the de
    facto face of the government abroad in his role as interior
    minister,
    often overshadowing Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, as he has fought
    to cut
    immigration from Africa and has formed alliances with other
    nationalists
    abroad.

    His scathing remarks were in response to comments Merkel made to
    Suddeutsche Zeitung, where she addressed the question of whether
    the
    League would be allowed in her European People’s Party (EPP)

    "It is clear that for example as regards the policy on
    migrants we have
    very different approaches. This is already a reason why the EPP
    will not
    open up to Mr. Salvini's party,” she said.

    She spoke a week before Europeans go to polls to elect candidates
    to the
    European Parliament. Nationalist and anti-immigration parties are
    expected
    to do well, particularly in France, Italy, Hungary and the U.K.,
    amid
    long-standing concerns about mass migration onto the continent.

    In Britain, the anti-European Union Brexit Party is expected to
    come first
    over anger at the failure of the British government to leave the
    bloc
    after the Brexit vote in 2016.

    "They are certainly important, special elections,” Merkel
    said. “Many
    people are worried about Europe and so am I.”

    Salvini has frequently targeted Merkel and Macron as he sought to
    defend
    his government’s stance on migration. In January he responded to
    criticism
    from Macron by accusing France of turning back migrants at the
    border.

    "I don't take lessons on humanity and generosity from Macron,”
    he later
    added.

    Donald J. Trump, 304 electoral votes to 227, defeated compulsive
    liar in
    denial Hillary Rodham Clinton on December 19th, 2016. The clown
    car
    parade of the democrat party ran out of gas and got run over by a
    Trump
    truck.

    Congratulations President Trump. Thank you for cleaning up the
    disaster
    of the Obama presidency.

    The Obama-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States
    (CFIUS)
    approved Uranium One in fall 2010. With a little luck, we'll see
    compulsive liar Hillary Clinton in jail before she dies.

    Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America
    became the
    The World According To Garp.

    Obama increased total debt from $10 trillion to $20 trillion in the
    eight
    years he was in office, and sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
    queer
    liberal democrat donors.

    And tell me - exactly what has
    Italy offered the EU?
