Furious right-wing Italian paper brands Trump with a vulgar term in scorching op-ed

A right-wing Italian paper went after Trump with a vulgar name amid his spat with the country's prime minister.Sorry to say it, but I can't find, and perhaps there isn't, another way to say it, a translation of the Italian article from the Libero Quotidiano reads. Donald Trump is an a—.The article uses the Italian term coglione, even using it in the headline, as it blasted Trump for ruining progress towards a friendly relationship with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni by telling an Italian news network that she begged him for a photo during the G7 summit. Meloni denied the account and accused Trump of making it up in a fierce response that tore into him.Only an a— could ruin everything with a lie so huge as to become ridiculous, the article read. Why say such nonsense? The answer can only be found in the definition of the word 'a—' which has entered the popular jargon of the Italian language: an inept, stupid person who acts with little intelligence.Trump stood by his claim that Meloni was a big fan of his in comments to NBC News on Friday. Meanwhile, Meloni was cheered on across the world, even called fabulous, for firing back at Trump.Although the article attacks the inadequacy of the American president, it does strike a sympathetic tone by admitting, it is not the case to declare war on America, and we do not deny it, we too had placed many hopes in Trump.
