One minute of TikTok.
This is from Irish member of the EU Parliament Aodhán Ó Ríordáin.

Yesterday, we witnessed the inauguration of a man whose ideology embodies everything the EU was founded to reject. The EU cannot just stand for our values when it is easy. It matters most when it comes at a cost, and standing up to Trump will come with a cost. But it is much less than the cost of letting this poison win.
I am done with the niceties from EU leaders to Trump while his tech-bro buddies call for our laws to be undermined. I am done with the Taoiseach of Ireland,* with our historic
understanding of immigration and oppression, promoting Trump's golf links in County Clare in response to his inauguration. And I'm done with the so-called strong men who, if they had to live for one day in the shoes of an immigrant, a woman, or a transgender person, would quiver with fear.
Anyone who believes in the founding principles of the EU should be appalled by what we witnessed yesterday. [cut to overlay of Musk's Nazi-like salute] I am appalled. So I resist and Europe must resist because our history demands it.
* The Taoiseach of Ireland is the head of government or the prime minister of Ireland
