there are parts of europe like sweden which have more foreign borns than the united states.he united states is about 15%, i think sweden is up to 20% so immigration is a done deal in europe. these people are here. so the question is how do you integrate them and assimilate them. pining for some lost europe is just as pointless as pining for some lost america. the idea make europe great again, make america great again, this is nostalgia, not forward-looking policy but it appeals to the gut and what trump is doing here, it's a political strategy not a policy strategy and he's playing it hard in european union and the united states. >> when i hear phrases like "losing the culture" and "changing the fabric" i think about when? which decade's culture are you talking about? what fabric? if you're in europe the answer to that question matters a lot and speaks volumes about where your had really is on this subject. jeff zeleny, we were talking about the president and confrontation. you covered him for quite some time. how does he try to massage issues like this? the president with n
