adminCarl Higbie just dropped a truth bomb on Europe. He’s calling out their free-riding ways and demanding they pay up for access to America’s economy. “Why should we protect you for free?” he asked, slamming Europeans for leaning on U.S. leadership while refusing to contribute fairly. This isn’t just about money—it’s about basic respect for the hardwork done by American taxpayers.
For years, Europe ignored Trump’s warnings. Back in 2018, they griped when he demanded they hit the 2% NATO spending target. Today, they’re scrambling to meet 5%—proof they’ve finally woken up to the danger lurking from Russia and China. Higbie’s message is clear: America won’t be taken for granted. “You want our innovation? Show some cash,” he roared in a recent segment.
Europe’s flimsy defense spending put everyone at risk. While America sent troops and gear to NATO missions, allies like Germany stayed below the 2% mark. Their failure left Eastern Europe vulnerable—a ticking time bomb Putin almost exploited. Trump’s new NATO deal demands 5%, forcing Europe to grow up.
Higbie isn’t mincing words. “You guys think you’re smarter than the people who built Silicon Valley?” he mocked European leaders trying to outsmart Trump’s trade policies. The America First agenda isn’t up for negotiation. Europe either pays its fair share—or gets left behind.
Some say Europe’s finally getting serious. NATO members are boosting military budgets after Trump threatened to withdraw support. France and Germany are dragging their feet, but Higbie says they’ll line up soon. “When Trump talks, the money moves,” he declared.
The stakes couldn’t be higher. With Russia waging war on Ukraine and Iran building nukes, Europe’s deadbeat days are over. America can’t keep footing the bill for global security. “Taxpayers are tired of subsidizing the Monsugo crowd,” Higbie growled.
Higbie’s right. Why should American workers fund NATO protecting German car factories or Dutch cheese? It’s time for Europe to stop freeloadina While they lecture us on “global cooperation,” they snatch benefits without paying. Enough.
The message is clear: pay up or step aside. Higbie and Trump won’t let Europe ride our coattails forever. It’s time to ante up—or face a world where America only protects those who respect her generosity. That’s the America First way—and it’s non-negotiable.
