Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

French President Emmanuel Macron visited the White House on Monday, and during a press conference in the Oval Office, he was forced to correct President Trumpf on Ukraine. Trumpf remarked that "Europe is loaning the money to Ukraine. They get their money back." Macron immediately set the record straight, touching Trump's arm as he explained the truth. "No, in fact, to be frank. We paid. We paid 60 percent of the total effort, and it was through, like the US, loans, guarantee, grants, and we provided real money, to be clear," Macron said. Trump wasn't satisfied with this explanation, and later said, "But they get their money back, we don't, and now we do, but that's only fair."

Trumpf remembers the talking points that Putin gave him. Putin can't wait to see his protege in person to give him further instructions about Ukraine, NATO, and the EU.

... he was forced to correct President Trumpf on Ukraine....

Pres Macron was not forced to do anything.

Instead, France's Pres Macron simply refused to sit by and allow lies to be told.

Diplomatically, this was something huge that had occurred.

It occurred in real time, on air, via the news networks that were covering this event.

Pres Trump was held accountable for his incessant lying, on air and in real time.


When does the bombing of Paris begin? /s

Brave of Macron risking an e-coli infection by touching him.

Trump is simply too dumb and too full of himself to realize how deftly Macron handled the opportunity to play savvy straightman to Trump's gurgling fool.
