The 31 most eye-popping lines from Donald Trump's European press conference 👀
Whoa boy
President Donald Trump sat down with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Sunday before the two emerged to take questions from the assembled media in Scotland.
What followed was a doozy.
I went through the full transcript — line by line. The lines from Trump you HAVE to see are below.

“And I think I can speak -- we just signed a very big trade deal, the biggest of them all, yesterday, right?”
The biggest trade deal of them all! Nothing but the best! And away we go!
“We have some good news because the recent war that you just saw they announced, I see -- the newest of the five. Now, this would be six that we've stopped. I've six -- stopped six wars in the last -- I have -- I'm averaging about a war a month.”
I think he is referring to his role in helping to broker a peace deal between Rwanda and Congo. Also, he alone has stopped these wars. One a month. Not that he’s keeping track.
“But the last three were very close together -- India and Pakistan, and a lot of them. Congo was just -- and Rwanda was just done. But you probably know I won't go into it very much cause I don't know the final numbers yet, I don't know -- numerous people were killed.”
“We do have to take care of the humanitarian needs at the -- on the -- what they used to call the Gaza Strip. You don't hear that line too much anymore. You don't hear ‘the Gaza Strip,’ but it is the Gaza Strip.”
People aren’t saying the Gaza Strip so much any more. It’s not a hot term.
“We're doing smaller and bigger, but the small is interesting. They do a small plant, very easy, very safe, and as they need more, they hook up another plant. And they have a series of plants, instead of, you know, doing the $20 billion plant that gets tough for a lot of people to do.”
Donald Trump on the construction of new nuclear plants: “The small is interesting.”
