Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni fired back after Trump doubled down on his attacks, telling him that his â€œconstant, unprovoked attacks are senselessâ€

Meloni: â€œMy popularity is none of your concern. I suggest you focus on yours.â€

This is exactly how you handle someone like Donald Trump, not with kid gloves but with finely-crafted brass knuckles.

Dems stand up to PEDO.

For instance.. the Dem Govs who won't turn over Voter registration data.

Our Dems shouldn't get a bad rap becuase PM Meloni called him out. We have Life or death Midterms to win. And, we'll be so Lucky to take back the reins in the House and Senate.

It is tiresome to see awful, or even just middling, people lauded to the skies or overhyped just because they develop an adversarial relationship with the worst person on earth. (This is not directed at the OP, but at the general news coverage of Meloni lately)

We don't need to be exultant over, or even acknowledge, every blind squirrel who finds a nut.

This makes me smile. This paper is calling trump out for being an asshole

A right-wing Italian paper went after Trump with a vulgar name amid his spat with the country's prime minister.
— Raw Story (@rawstory.com) 2026-06-20T16:00:10.761Z

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-italian/

A right-wing Italian paper went after Trump with a vulgar name amid his spat with the country's prime minister.

"Sorry to say it, but I can't find, and perhaps there isn't, another way to say it," a translation of the Italian article from the Libero Quotidiano reads. "Donald Trump is an a—."

The article uses the Italian term "coglione," even using it in the headline, as it blasted Trump for ruining progress towards a friendly relationship with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni by telling an Italian news network that she "begged" him for a photo during the G7 summit. Meloni denied the account and accused Trump of making it up in a fierce response that tore into him.

"Only an a— could ruin everything with a lie so huge as to become ridiculous," the article read. "Why say such nonsense? The answer can only be found in the definition of the word 'a—' which has entered the popular jargon of the Italian language: an inept, stupid person who acts with little intelligence."

Trump stood by his claim that Meloni was a "big fan" of his in comments to NBC News on Friday. Meanwhile, Meloni was cheered on across the world, even called "fabulous," for firing back at Trump.

Although the article attacks "the inadequacy of the American president," it does strike a sympathetic tone by admitting, "it is not the case to declare war on America," and "we do not deny it, we too had placed many hopes" in Trump.
