Flake hits Trump over criticism of EU: 'We need our allies with us'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) on Sunday pushed back against President Trump's claim that the European Union (EU) is "possibly as bad" as China with its trade policies toward the U.S.

"This is so wrong, Mr. President. When we confront China on unfair trade practices, we need our allies, especially those in the EU, with us, not against us," Flake tweeted.

Flake was reacting to Trump's claim during an interview that aired on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures." Host Maria Bartiromo questioned if the U.S. would be better off teaming up with its European allies to address China's unfair trade practices.

“The European Union is possibly as bad as China, just smaller. It’s terrible what they did to us,” Trump said.

2. Who gives a flying fuck what Flake

says at any given moment? He's great at making impassioned speeches but the moment he returns to the Senate he dutifully flips and votes with Trump. Truly an empty suit, he is rather appropriately named.
