Erm... interesting conclusion you've drawn there from what I wrote.

He was just pointing out how much more money America wastes than the EU. God bless him, guv. I don't begrudges him anything, what if he likes the expensive wine in the EU cellars, deserves a tipple and a grope.
Jacob and Nanny will be proud.

That was Juncker pointing out how privileged the US president is, and how much a better person he is, as he doesn't need his own plane to campaign all over Europe*.
Yes it is, because it's guiding the readers to a particular interpretation. Which gullible idiots like you swallow without the slightest element of critical thought.
* If it helps, I think Juncker is a drunken smeghead and a thoroughly nasty piece of work.

Or what about this tweet
"In 2014, while campaigning for the position of President of the European Commission, he tweeted: 'The Americans have Air Force One. I don't. But I am still campaigning all over Europe! #withJuncker'"
So when you say the headline is misleading - well it's not.

It has a very extensive international newspaper shop as I seem to recall.

Or was that just about 'raising awareness'?
Or what about this tweet
"In 2014, while campaigning for the position of President of the European Commission, he tweeted: 'The Americans have Air Force One. I don't. But I am still campaigning all over Europe! #withJuncker'"
So when you say the headline is misleading - well it's not.
Not sure where it says anything about the war or Germany other to reference the fact Merkle is going and he will miss his 'piece of art'
But also things like
"He said he hoped that 20 years from now there was more integration bnetween peoples of Europe and warmer feelings about the EU itself."
What on top of the 45 years there have already been?
Also
"I would also like the Member States to try to learn more about each other. I am sad that the Luxembourgers know nothing about the Sami and the Bavarians nothing about the Sicilians. "
Is anyone ever going to ask in all seriousness why Luxembourgers know nothing about the Sami or Bavarians about the Sicilians?
Could it be because they do not give a fook?
And why does Junker think the EU means they should?
