On a visit to Seoul, Macron, who was accompanied by his wife Brigitte, said Trump’s comments were “neither elegant nor up to standard”.

Macron: a craftily worded political statement publicly saying Trump’s comment doesn’t deserve a response -— is a response.

I would like to see less of this teasing and ridicule to other heads of state. when the topic of ridicule is the state of their marriage. It’s non productive. Plus. if Macron chose to. he could very easily begin taking potshots at President Trump’s marriages, both past and present.

Well, maybe it should not be done to our head of state.

Macron is a toady to his German masters and is not really a head of state.

When Trump goes low, Macron goes hands up, and nineteen lashes in the groin from his dominatrix, which happens to be his school teacher in drag.

I love how Trump humiliates these spineless, post-modern, neo-marxist EU goobers.
