Trump DEMOLISHES Macron; Tweets ‘Make France Great Again’ by The Duran
The Duran Quick Take: Episode 16. The Duran’s Alex Christoforou and Editor-in-Chief Alexander Mercouris take a quick look at US President Trump’s tweetstorm aimed at French President Macron, who just days ago used the WW1 ceremony in Paris to ridicule and talk down to the US president in front of world leaders.

Macron’s office has refused to comment on Trump’s claims.
OFFICE OF FRENCH PRESIDENT MACRON SAYS IT REFUSES TO MAKE ANY COMMENT REGARDING TRUMP’S TWEETS CRITICISING FRANCE AND MACRON

Without directly referencing the rumors, Trump has branded reports that he refused to appear at a cemetery for American soldiers because he didn’t want to get his hair wet as “fake news.” In the tweet, Trump insisted that he wanted the Secret Service to drive him to the speech instead of taking a helicopter, but they refused because of security concerns. He added that he gave a speech at the cemetery the next day in the pouring rain – something that was “little reported”.
By the way, when the helicopter couldn’t fly to the first cemetery in France because of almost zero visibility, I suggested driving. Secret Service said NO, too far from airport & big Paris shutdown. Speech next day at American Cemetary in pouring rain! Little reported-Fake News!

Trump’s rampage against Macron continues. The president slammed his French counterpart for his low approval rating, as well as France’s high unemployment. Furthermore, in response to Macron’s “nationalist” snub, Trump pointed out that “there is no more nationalist country” than France..
Donald J. Trump on Twitter: “The problem is that Emmanuel suffers from a very low Approval Rating in France, 26%, and an unemployment rate of almost 10%. He was just trying to get onto another subject. By the way, there is no country more Nationalist than France, very proud people-and rightfully so!…….. / Twitter”

…before adding a spin on his classic slogan.
Donald J. Trump on Twitter: “……MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN! / Twitter”
MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN!
Trump’s rage against Macron continues, but this time, the topic is slightly more serious. What could be more serious than questioning the foundation of Post-WWII military alliances, you might ask? The answer is simple – trade!
Trump conceded that while France makes “very good wine” (an interesting claim from Trump, who doesn’t drink), the country “makes it hard for the US to sell its wine into France, and charges very big tariffs”. Meanwhile “The US makes it easy for French wines and charges small tariffs.”
“Not Fair, must change!”
Donald J. Trump on Twitter: “On Trade, France makes excellent wine, but so does the U.S. The problem is that France makes it very hard for the U.S. to sell its wines into France, and charges big Tariffs, whereas the U.S. makes it easy for French wines, and charges very small Tariffs. Not fair, must change! / Twitter”

We now await Trump’s order of an investigation into the national security implications of imported French wine.

President Trump isn’t ready to forgive the “French diss” served up over the weekend by President Emmanuel Macron.
During a ceremony honoring the 100th anniversary of World War I at the Arc de Triomphe on Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron insulted Trump to his face by launching into a screed about the dangers of toxic “nationalism” and subtly accusing the US of abandoning its “moral values”.
This did not sit well with the US president, who was already facing criticism over his decision to show up late to a ceremony honoring the war dead (the administration blamed it on security concerns though it’s widely suspected that Trump didn’t want to get his hair wet), and Trump has let his displeasure be known in a series of tweets ridiculing Macron’s suggestion that Europe build its own army, saying that France and other European members of NATO would be better served by paying their fair share for NATO while daring them to leave and pay for their own protection.
And in his most abrasive tweet yet mocking the increasingly unpopular Macron’s imperial ambitions (no, really), Trump pointed out that, historically speaking, Europe has been its own worst enemy, and that while Macron wants to defend the Continent from the US, China and Russia, “it was Germany in WWI & WWII,” adding that “they were starting to learn German in Paris before the US came along. Pay for NATO or not!”
Donald J. Trump on Twitter: “Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two – How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not! / Twitter”

Of course, Macron isn’t the only French official calling for the creation of a “European army”. The country’s finance minister advocated for the creation of a Continental army during an interview with Germany’s Handelsblatt – a comment that was derided by the paper’s editors, who pointed out that Germans “weren’t very supportive” of the idea. One wonders why…

Here is a detailed look at comments made by Macron about European security and how Washington views Europe :

At the very least, it is interesting to see that, unlike many decision makers in Washington, France is looking to co-operate and strengthen ties with Russia as part of its move to becoming part of an autonomous European powerhouse that is not at the mercy of the United States.
Both these last-word liar-sickos are simply pathetic. Just goes to show that they are merely willing ZOG puppet-pawns. No way they could ever have got to be where they have been put elsewise.
Trump is an imbecile, Macron is a moron. A plague on both their houses. As for Trump yapping about everyone else has to pay for their defense, I have this to point out. The US has been the arsonist for decades and “now” insists on others paying for the US’s “benevolent” fire fighting services. I have no use for NATO (should have been disbanded under Bush Senior) but the two “A”s sucking up to Trump doesn’t cut any ice with me either. This website’s commentators admiration for Trump is too much for my taste. Trump is a legend in his… Read more »
“The US has been the arsonist for decades and “now” insists on others paying for the US’s “benevolent” fire fighting services.”
Absolutely brilliant!
CHECK MIRROR THIS MORNING-WHO IS IDIOT……VIVA MARINE LE PEN AND VSG- PDJT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Trump absolutely enjoys getting other people’s blood boiling. And all his money…that can’t buy all that he lacks.
“a legend in their own minds” applies even more handily to Barry and Hillary…
Do you follow ‘Q’ or Q interpreters? This is the intelligent way to understand what Trump is about. Tap into this intelligence drop by following ‘The Praying Medic.’ It takes 100’s or 1,000’s of hour to understand Q. Dave – ‘Praying Medic,’ https://prayingmedic.com/ – has spent more than 1,000 hours studying Q; has read every post, has prayerfully written interpretations of them helped by his dreams. Recent crib notes: Note: Department of Homeland Security was monitoring the 2018 bi-elections in the USA and Trump has warned there will prosecution of election meddling. If voter ID laws are tightened up –… Read more »
“Truth and Art TV” and “Destroying the illusion” are also highly recommendable youtube channels and websites about Q.
Although Trump’s statements, like the French learning German during the occupation, sound incredible now, they are not. That is the way real people talk. You have to be a bit on the elderly side like Trump, to remember WWII at all, but a few decades ago it would be a common thing, if the French were criticizing America, to hear someone say ‘oh yeah, you were learning to speak German until we kicked the Nazis out of France’.
Why do we have to put up continuously with this lout’s ill manners, etc? The more the media pays attention to him (which he loves), the more obnoxious this guy is going to get. He is so into himself and doesn’t give a fig who or how many he hurts. The traits of a ‘leader’ NOT.
Say what you want…but he shoots from the hip and rarely misses…The Trump Derangement Syndrome has overtaken the corrupted eunuchs in the mainstream media and their “Mockingbird” audiences…
