Responding to a question from a reporter on migration, he said that “on immigration, you’d better to get your act together. You’re not going to have Europe anymore.” He continued to say that “You’ve got to stop this horrible invasion that’s happening to Europe. Some people, some leaders have not let it happen. They’re not getting the proper credit.” He did not name the leaders he had in mind, however, in order not to “embarrass” the others. The US President is…
