"The ⁠serious and offensive words of President Trump towards Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni offend the whole of Italy."

Way to go, fat fuck pedo

Sure, but fuck Italy for electing this cynical bitch.

Well I say let them fight. At least she had a limit to appeasing Trump as opposed to the Franco-German duo.

Yeah, sorry. The second party is with the Socialists and Democrats. Sadly her coalition won (with many people not voting). However, I think she is rightfully offended and she’s still the Italian prime minister, so not a nice thing to say overall if you’re POTUS.

Yet you are ruled by neoliberals that are throwing your countries into the arms of fascists. Are you that fucking stupid? Or dishonest? GTFO.

What is the feeling amongst Italy's fascist leaning populace and the US and Israel?

Meloni is pretty similar in some ways, suing everyone that says anything about her, and I seem to recall Italy actually putting people in prison for civil suits alleging slander and whatever.

Fascists in Italy are fairly confused by their hate of brown people and their hate of Jews being in conflict. Meloni is a disgusting opportunist but she's very different from Trump, for one thing, she's very smart.

As for slander, it's a penal crime (multiple crimes actually) in Italy but nobody does time for non-violent crimes.
