French President Emmanuel Macron offered Americans a "second homeland" in France to help "make our planet great again," a clear jab against President Trump after he announced that his administration will reject the Paris climate agreement.
In a short video posted online Thursday, Macron said that while he respects Trump's decision, it was a "mistake" for the U.S. to exit the international accord.
"Tonight, I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation," Macron said.
He called on certain types, like scientists and "responsible citizens" who were disappointed by Trump's announcement, to come to France.
"I call on them. Come and work here with us. To work together on concrete solutions for our kind, our environment. I can assure you France will not give up the fight," Macron said.
Macron assured those who are skeptical of the Paris Agreement's future that the accord "remains irreversible and will be implemented" by those nations still committed to it.
"Make our planet great again," he concluded, a reference to Trump's campaign motto: "Make America great again."
The White House put out a statement Thursday evening to say Trump spoke not only with Macron, but other world leaders to explain his decision to withdraw from the climate agreement.
"He thanked all four leaders for holding frank, substantive discussions on this issue during his first months in office," the statement read. The White House said Trump "reassured the leaders that America remains committed to the Transatlantic alliance and to robust efforts to protect the environment" and "noted America's strong record in reducing emissions and leading the development of clean energy technology."
Trump "reiterated that the United States under the Trump Administration, will be the cleanest and most environmentally friendly country on Earth," the statement added. "The leaders all agreed to continue dialogue and strengthen cooperation on environmental and other issues going forward."
A little short in the deodorant department too.
France sucks.
Piss off frogs!
Translation: since we can’t get our hands on American tax dollars, come here and we can tax you at 90% ourselves.
Oh puh-lease. They won’t go. They threatened to go if Trump won the election and here they all still sit, flapping their idiotic gums.
Thanks for offering, Mssr. Macron, but we’re stuck with them for life.
OK, but not near burkas and bearded savages.
In response to your post and tumblindice’s gay-frogs picture above your post, some enterprising photo artist needs to make a picture of a monkey that is eating cheese and holding a white flag.
Yes! Please go!
The rest of us will be squirting CO2 all over the place now just because we can! So you’ll hate it.
And take BIG COLA with you! Did you know they actually PUT CO2 INTO THEIR ‘carbonated’ BEVERAGES????
(Big cola are big libtards, why is not one after them for CO2 they put into their drinks?)
Paging progs: The Axis of Weasels needs YOU!
...and take "our" refugees with them!
Can we start a GoFundMe to send them all there?
KEK
Sorry, Mac, your beloved American leftists won’t leave the country, as they showed after the election, and they CERTAINLY won’t live with your burgeoning MUSLIM population,
Just as they wont live in BLACK neighborhoods here
Sounds like you and we patriotic Americans are outta luck
A FRomage-a-thon?
Yep, I think this is a FABULOUS idea. Hoping he has some numbers to report, in a few weeks, of all the wonderful Americans that have moved there.
Make our planet great again? Like we did in 1945?
Since all the Clinton voters live ‘on the seaboards’ that they hallucinate will be under water, let’s ship them all to France. There, they will be in the middle of the mohammedans that they love to defend, 24/7/365.
I like Macron’s idea. They should go live with the effete French and eventually get murdered by the Jihadis. But at least they’ll feel righteous about “preventing” global warming.
Typically liberal. Wrong on, well, everything.
This clown is worried about global warming, when he should be worried about his own city being burnt to the ground by the caliphate taking place all around him.
I am fluent in French as having gone to school there and visited multiple times. Americans really do know have a clue as to what it is like to live in France, day to day. The taxes alone will shock them. And you better learn French. And a million other things that our self-appointed “betters” will not like once they get there. Oh and the food is good and the medical care is “free” and the architecture is historic. Just try being in the wrong neighborhood in Paris after dark and see what happens.
