President Donald J. Trump has backed Vice President J.D. Vance's "brilliant speech" at the Munich Security Conference slamming Europe's eroding free speech rights and mismanagement of mass migration, saying, "I think it's true; in Europe, they're losing their wonderful right of freedom of speech. I see it."
"Europe has to be careful," the America First leader told journalists in the Oval Office. "[Vance] talked about immigration, and Europe has a big immigration problem. Just take a look at what's happened with crime," he added.
