0bama too, or would he have jumper to his feet, faced the moroon, bowed, and apologized for our terrible behavior?

Guaranteed he would have done what you said. No doubt about it.

What was ridiculous about it?

I thought Trump wanted Europe to rearm.

There's a reason Macron has a 20% approval rating. What wasn't ridiculous about it?

https://www.axios.com/emmanuel-macro...1feefc01f.html

Axios from September 16th

Emmanuel Macron's approval rating dips below 20%
=============================================
Business Insider has this from September 5th.

https://www.businessinsider.com/fren...ord-low-2018-9

French President Emmanuel Macron faces his lowest approval rating yet at 31%.

The news comes as voters have reportedly become wary of Macron's business-friendly attempts to overhaul the country's economy.

Macron's approval rating at this point in his presidency is lower than that of his predecessor, Francois Hollande.

Hollande would go on to be the country's most unpopular president, later in his term.


You consistently lose arguments you're trying to make. I get it. You want the U.S. to be like a feckless Europe.

Unless I missed something it was his speech we were talking about and his shot at Trump over the meaning of the word "Nationalism"

That never answered why Macron's call to a European Army capable of defending itself was "ridiculous."

Merkel agrees by the way...

If you don't know why Macron's call for a European Army is/was ridiculous then I can't help you. And when it comes to Merkel and the Europe she helped ruin I can't help you either.

Mrs Merkel’s Christian Democrats (CDU) and their Bavarian allies fell to just 29 per cent in the poll for ARD television, down four points from last year’s election.

Wasn't Trump kissing Putin's ass at the Helsinki summit a few months ago? And only after a national bipartisan uproar did he finally admit to having "misspoken". why wasn't that a big deal with you guys?
