French President Emmanuel Macron is offering refuge to American liberals upset at President Donald Trump’s decision to withdraw from the Paris climate agreement.
In a video posted to Twitter, speaking in English, Macron said:
“I wish to tell the United States: France believes in you. The world believes in you. I know that you are a great nation. I know your history, our common history.”
“To all scientists, engineers, entrepreneurs, responsible citizens who were disappointed by the decision of the president of the United States, I want to say that they will find in France a second homeland. I call them: Come and work here, with us, to work together on concrete solutions for our climate, our environment. I can assure you, France will not give up the fight.”
Macron also posted a picture to Twitter, with the words “Make Our Planet Great Again” on a green and blue background.
Macron is a 39-year-old liberal who worked in mergers and acquisitions for the Rothschild investment bank in Paris and as the economy minister to French Socialist Party President François Hollande before rebranding himself as an “outsider” last year and launching a campaign for president.

He defeated populist National Front leader Marine Le Pen in May to become the youngest-ever president of France.
It may be because of his youth that Macron is not aware that the specter of a young Frenchman calling out the president of the United States, speaking English with a French accent, may invite more ridicule from Americans than gratitude.
"If you're wondering how to get into France, you can either be a Syrian [jihadi] or an American climate scientist," newspaper columnist and talk radio guest host Mark Steyn said on "The Rush Limbaugh Show" on Friday afternoon, before noting that France would likely require more paperwork from the American climate scientist than from the jihadi.
And as for President Trump himself, The Washington Post reported Friday that Trump's irritation with Macron's disrespecting him at their first meeting may have, in fact, helped seal his decision on withdrawal from the Paris accord.
It occurred in Brussels, Belgium, on May 26, when the new French president approached the line of world leaders, with Trump in the middle, but veered off to his right, ignoring Trump to shake German Chancellor Angela Merkel's hand first, and then the hand of NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenburg, only to then finally come to Trump, who clasped Macron hand tightly and pulled the slender Macron toward him forcefully while shaking his hand vigorously, breaking out into a huge smile — not at Macron, but toward the cameras that he saw were pointed toward him.
At an earlier private meeting between Macron and Trump, the two had shaken hands, with both gripping tightly and grimacing for the cameras, in what some media organizations interpreted as an alpha male showdown.
In what was likely the best, or probably the most memorable, line from the president's energetic address from the Rose Garden on Thursday, in which he laid out a strong case for exiting the Paris agreement, he said: "I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris."
If I believed they would really leave and really stay gone, I would donate to a Libs-Be-Gone crowd funding.
Yes, he purposely excluded the great unwashed masses.
Better yet, the Republican Party in PURPLE states can pay for a 1 way ticket.
Macoroni will even sweeten the deal by giving coupons for 10 free abortions after rape by migrant. Though they have to use them before it becomes illegal to abort muslim children.
(i miss the old days when my snark was funny because it was absurd)
The Muslim problem in France is just a myth so go
YES - I’ll even support a government funded program to buy them air tickets - on the condition that their US passports are immediately revoked upon arrival in France.
LOL!!!!
Exactly, citizens of the world go and unite in Paris. We Americans will watch from here.
This guy is on his way to augering in.
I notice he didn't make the offer to poor, minorities, Muslims, etc...
Ok, lefties. There’s your invitation. Go live cheek-by-jowl with your beloved frogs and precious muzzie co-refugees.
Merci, Macron!
No, they wouldn’t.
If the Hollywood libtards were ever raped or brutalized by muslims, the libtards would blame Trump & Christians. They would NEVER blame the jihadists. Never.
Most of the Hollywood crowd are beyond redemption.
Alpha Male??? LOL!! Trump might have been married three times, but he never married his mother.
I feel certain the thousands of Muslim refugees here are very unhappy with the decision. You are welcome to take them too.
This is GREATNESS.
Thank you Macron for taking away our Leftist nutjobs!
I wish all the damn Muslims, snowflakes, BLM whackos, and all illegals will go to France.

What you’re going to get... Lawyers, investment bankers and other associated malcontents.
The engineers, entrepreneurs and so forth will stay here and become wealthy unburdened by the busybodies who left for France.
