Trump with Merz in the Oval Office – Official White House Photo by Daniel Torok/Wiki CommonsWhine as he may, MAGA will help restore Europe’s greatness.Like so many other Euro-Globalist ‘leaders’, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz hops from summit to summit, splashing his face on the news cycle, as much is said and little gets done.Back home, no joy awaits him, as polls show that Merz is now the most unpopular politician in Germany, with a personal rating that has sunk to a historic low of 13% favorability.He even has to manage the efforts by his own party to replace him with a younger leader.So, prodded by the MSM, he tries to find some solace by making repeated statements against the US Donald J. Trump administration – it’s a cheap way to score a few points with the leftists.Today (15), he is issuing a warning – yes, you read it right – against Trump and the MAGA movement to stay out of European elections.Merz is reportedly pushing back against a new, million-dollar funding scheme from the US to support ‘free speech and religious liberty’ in Europe.The problem is that the warning is not going to fly, because this outreach to Europe is part of the deepest levels of foreign policy, as it can be read clearly in the 2025 National Security Strategy:“We want to support our allies in preserving the freedom and security of Europe, while restoring Europe’s civilizational self-confidence and Western identity.”There’s more:“Protection of Core Rights and Liberties – The purpose of the American government is to secure the God-given natural rights of American citizens. […] In particular, the rights of free speech, freedom of religion and of conscience, and the right to choose and steer our common government are core rights that must never be infringed. Regarding countries that share, or say they share, these principles, the United States will advocate strongly that they be upheld in letter and spirit. We will oppose elite-driven, anti-democratic restrictions on core liberties in Europe, the Anglosphere, and the rest of the democratic world, especially among our allies.”And finally: “We reject the disastrous “climate change” and “Net Zero” ideologies that have so greatly harmed Europe, threaten the United States, and subsidize our adversaries.” The Trump administration is offering grants of up to $3 million to European activist groups promoting free speech and opposing online censorship, with funding aimed at organisations challenging laws such as the EU’s Digital Services Act and the UK’s Online Safety Act.The… pic.twitter.com/Oa2u7NhnA7— Europa.com (@europa) July 15, 2026“The funding comes against the backdrop of the U.S.’s efforts to support nationalist parties in Europe as part of its National Security Strategy and burgeoning links between the Trump administration and Europe’s far right, including the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.‘We do not interfere in American elections; we’ve always stuck to that’, Merz said in Berlin in response to a reporter’s question on whether he deemed the initiative to be valid advocacy or political interference. ‘Conversely, I don’t want the American government or government-affiliated institutions to interfere in German elections’, he added.The U.S. State Department on Monday launched a funding scheme worth nearly $5 million ‘to strengthen and develop democratic resilience, rule of law, freedom of speech and freedom of the press, and the defense of human rights in Europe’. Beneficiaries should ‘address national sovereignty, migration, censorship, and lawfare challenges in line with shared political philosophy, law, and our common Western civilizational heritage’, the statement reads.”“It is illegal to finance political parties in Germany from abroad,” Germany’s Chancellor Merz said after DW’s @NinaHaase asked him whether US “civilizational” grants for European groups amount to political interference. pic.twitter.com/cPjytfA8yv— DW Politics (@dw_politics) July 15, 2026Read more:BIG MOUTH STRIKES AGAIN: Failing German Chancellor Merz Fires up Another Provocation at Trump, Says He Would ‘Advise His Children Against Living or Studying in the US’ (VIDEO)/*!
