Last evening, Donald Trump was interviewed on X (formerly known as Twitter). Elon Musk, as the tweet above shows, claims a billion related views and discussions as of last night. I caught part of this on the news live yesterday.
Anyway, here is information about that interview:
August 13, 2024
Trump returns to X
The rare public conversation between Trump and Musk, which spanned more than two hours Monday night and was overwhelmingly friendly, …
In a reminder that the world was watching, the chat prompted a preemptive note of caution from Europe.
Thierry Breton, a French business executive and commissioner for internal market of the European Union, warned Musk of possible “amplification of harmful content” by broadcasting his interview with Trump. In a letter posted on X, Breton urged Musk to “ensure X’s compliance” with EU law, including the Digital Services Act, adopted in 2022 to address a number of issues including disinformation.
Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung urged the EU to “mind their own business instead of trying to meddle in the U.S. Presidential election.” https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-elon-musk-x-twitter-livestream-83d6d07fc0ffef4151c96fc56aeec9ee

Donald Trump’s promised blockbuster interview with X-owner Elon Musk was mostly sizzle, no steak.
The Republican candidate for U.S. president made no mention of Britain’s far-right riots, took a half-hearted pot-shot at the EU’s trade rules and the amount it spends helping Kyiv defend itself from Russia …
Referring to an open letter addressed to Musk from the European Union’s digital enforcer Thierry Breton, published ahead of the interview and reminding the X owner of the EU’s rules on promoting hate speech, Musk told Trump: “There’s a lot of attempts to do censorship and to force censorship, even on Americans from other countries. What do you think about that?”
But Trump didn’t bite, instead launching into a diatribe about the U.S. trade deficit with the EU, saying “they take great advantage of the United States in trade,” and “they’re not as tough as China, but they’re bad.”
Trump then revisited a favored talking point about the amount the EU spends helping Ukraine vs. U.S. spending — but rather than promising to cut America’s aid, he appeared to suggest he wanted the EU to increase its own.
“I say, ‘why aren’t you going to equalize?’ Why aren’t they paying what we’re paying?” Trump told Musk. “Why is the United States paying disproportionately more to defend Europe than Europe? That doesn’t make sense. That’s unfair, and that is an appropriate thing to address.” https://www.politico.eu/article/trump-zelenskyy-eu-freewheeling-musk-interview/
The Europeans do not want to see Donald Trump back in office.
They sent a letter to Elon Musk before the interview to attempt to get it censored:
With great audience comes greater responsibility #DSA
As there is a risk of amplification of potentially harmful content in 🇪🇺 in connection with events with major audience around the world, I sent this letter to @elonmusk

(LATER UPDATE: The EU said that Thierry Breton was not authorized to send his letter and that he is misapplying EU rules– see https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/eu-disavows-attention-seeking-politician-thierry-breton-over-electoral-interference)
WND reported:
August 12, 2024
Officials for President Donald Trump’s 2024 election campaign are telling officials of the European Union to mind their own business and quit interfering in America’s presidential vote this year.
The comments came after an EU operative issued what amounts to a threat to Elon Musk’s X platform on which Trump was scheduled for an interview with Musk on Monday evening.
“The European Union should mind their own business instead of trying to meddle in the U.S. presidential election,” Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung wrote on X. “Only in Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ America can an un-Democratic foreign organization feel emboldened enough to tell this country what to do.
“They know that a President Trump victory means America will no longer be ripped off because he will smartly utilize tariffs and renegotiated trade deals that puts America First.”
He continued, “Let us be very clear: the European Union is an enemy of free speech and has no authority of any kind to dictate how we campaign.” …
Musk responded with a meme that essentially told the EU he was not concerned about being compliant with its politically and socially correct agenda. https://www.wnd.com/2024/08/european-union-told-to-stop-meddling-in-u-s-elections-as-trump-talks-with-elon-musk/
Yes, the European Union wants censorship and its does not want Donald Trump back in office. As CNN reported earlier this Summer:
A Trump redux is the last thing most European leaders want, with the world far more dangerous than when he last left office. https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/28/politics/foreign-diplomats-biden-debate-reaction/index.html
According to CNN all of Europe is basically in uproar and has security concerns because a second Donald Trump term, “is the last thing most European leaders want.”
Notice also the following:
Trump’s Return Would Be ‘Serious Issue’ for Europe, Donohoe Says
- He says region must prepare by making economy more autonomous
- EU must be in stronger position for ‘very different agenda’
Eurogroup chief Paschal Donohoe said the prospect of a second Donald Trump presidency is an impetus for the European Union to prepare itself by making its economy less dependent on the US.
Speaking in an interview with Bloomberg Radio, the Irish minister for public expenditure said that while it’s up to the American people to choose their next leader, the region should be ready for any eventuality. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-08-08/new-trump-presidency-is-serious-issue-for-europe-donohoe-says
Europe is concerned that Donald Trump could win. Europe has been taking military steps and will likely accelerate those steps as EU leaders are concerned.
Donald Trump has long correctly pointed out that the USA bears more costs of NATO than all its other members combined times 2-3.
In his June debate with Joe Biden, Donald Trump bragged how he got Europe to spend billions and billions more on their military.
Many think that is good.
But people need to be careful what they wish for.
A Europe with more military capability is a Europe that can be totally independent of the USA.
Long time readers of this page will recognize the following things I posted years ago related to Donald Trump and Europe:
WARNING ONE: Donald Trump will offend the Europeans.
The Bible shows that the USA will be betrayed by friends (cf. Lamentations 1:1-2) and the USA will one day be taken over by a European led power (Daniel 11:39; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses). …
WARNING TWO: Donald Trump’s election will be used to further push European unity.
The Bible shows that Europe will have unification problems, but will still arise (Daniel 2:41-43).
It may be interesting to note that the “best response’ to Donald Trump, according to various European leaders is European unity. …
WARNING FOUR: The fourth warning was that Donald Trump’s rise would encourage the Europeans to arm …
WARNING FIVE: There is a fifth warning related to the fourth: Germany will want a stronger military.
The above was partially based upon Isaiah 10:5-12 which tells of a Germanic-influenced power taking over places, which in the end time include the USA (see also Germany in Biblical Prophecy).
The prospective of another Donald Trump presidency is causing fear in Europe–and fear is a powerful motivator.
What will happen?
The Bible shows that Europe will become a militarily successful power (cf. Revelation 13:3-4), with a great army (Daniel 11:25), and many ships (Daniel 11:40).
It will be so successful, that it will defeat the power with the “strongest fortresses” (Daniel 11:39), which currently is the USA.
It will be so militarily successful that the world will be shocked:
3 And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast. 4 So they worshiped the dragon who gave authority to the beast; and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” (Revelation 13:3-4)
In the last century, the late Radio Church of God Pastor General Herbert W. Armstrong taught:
The indication is the armies of the “beast” of Revelation 17, entering Jerusalem…From this time (Daniel 12:11) to Christ’s coming will be 1290 days. … Forty-five days later “the beast’s armies” will surround Jerusalem. Thirty days later the Great Tribulation will probably start with a nuclear attack on London and Britain–and possibly the same day or immediately after, on the United States and Canadian cities. (Armstrong HW. The Time We Are In, Now. Pastor General’s Report-Vol 1, No. 15, November 20, 1979, Page 2)
Do any verses in the Bible support the idea of something like a nuclear war?
Yes.
Consider the following:
23 ‘The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, which the Lord overthrew in His anger and His wrath.’ 24 All nations would say, ‘Why has the Lord done so to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?’ 25 Then people would say: ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt; 26 for they went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods that they did not know and that He had not given to them. 27 Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against this land, to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. 28 And the Lord uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.’ 29 “The secret things belong to the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deuteronomy 29:23-29).
The whole land being “brimstone, salt, and burning” is consistent with a nuclear type of attack.
Related to that, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Donald Trump, Europe, and Nuclear Weapons?
Are European leaders quite concerned about a possible second Donald Trump presidency? Have any European leaders publicly proposed developing ‘Euronukes’ because of Donald Trump? Do European leaders believe that Europe should have nuclear weapons independent from the United States of America? Does the Bible prophesy anything like nuclear destruction coming to the USA and its British-descended allies? Do biblical prophecies really point to the USA being destroyed by its European friends in places like Daniel 11:39 and Lamentations 1:1-2? Do Europeans think they need to have nukes whether or not Donald Trump gets into office again? Did the late Herbert W. Armstrong state back in 1989 that the Great Tribulation could actually begin with a nuclear attack by the coming European King of the North Beast power against cities in the USA, UK, and Canada? Are the Europeans now increasing their military spending and considering adding their own nukes? Is there hope from the coming Kingdom of God and the return of Jesus? Steve Dupuie and Dr. Thiel address these matters.
Here is a link to our video: Donald Trump, Europe, and Nuclear Weapons?
Devastation is coming.
However, the good news of the Kingdom of God is that Jesus will return and put a stop to the type of nuclear and/or other devastation that will happen during the Great Tribulation.
For those who wonder if Kamala Harris or Donald Trump are best “qualified” to become President of the United States, here is a link to our latest sermonette video:
Trump vs Harris vs Scripture
Are Donald Trump and Kamala Harris qualified to be President of the United States according to its Constitution? Does the adulterer Donald Trump’s record as a businessman who declared bankruptcy multiple times and who was once President of the USA make him the best choice? Does Kamala Harris’ political positions, one or more were related to adultery, and then later being Vice-President make her the best choice? What about their positions on adultery and LGBTQ matters? Do either of them meet the biblical requirements to be leaders? Could they both be evil? Should Christians put their faith in leaders or in Jesus and His Kingdom? Dr. Thiel and Steve Dupuie go over these points.
Here is a link to our video: Trump vs Harris vs Scripture.
Do not put your confidence in Kamala Harris nor Donald Trump. Put your faith in Jesus. Biblical prophecies will be fulfilled and we are seeing the stage is being set for many to be fulfilled fairly soon.
