Trump, Macron hold tense meeting: 'Would you like some nice ISIS fighters? I can give them to you'
The Hill ^ | 12 03 2019 | Morgan Chalfant and Brett Samuels

President Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron held a tense meeting Tuesday on the sidelines of a NATO summit, with Trump at one point telling the French leader he could send him some "ISIS fighters" if he wanted them.

“Would you like some nice ISIS fighters? I can give them to you,” Trump said with a slight smile at the meeting, which was carried live on cable news. “You can take every one you want.”

“Let’s be serious,” Macron replied sternly, reasoning that most ISIS fighters came from Syria, Iraq and Iran and disputing Trump’s common refrain that the terrorist group had been defeated.

Trump has complained that European countries have been unwilling to accept ISIS fighters the U.S. had captured.

The French president insisted that the number of European ISIS fighters was a “tiny” part of the overall problem of addressing destabilization in the region. He was also adamant that the terrorist group had not entirely been defeated, a break with a common declaration from Trump.

“I think [the] number one priority, because it’s not finished, is it to get rid of ISIS,” Macron said.

There's diplomacy, the Art of BS, and then there's frank and honest dialogue.

The time for pleasant chat is over. It's time to speak honestly about Muslim terrorism.

There was only one George Washington.

There was only one Abraham Lincoln.

There was only one Ronald Reagan.

There is only one Donald Trump.

The heck with France, they declared war on us today. Million’s for Defense, but not one cent for tribute!

If one is a die-hard Never Trumper or insane Leftist and you cannot bring yourself to supporting the guy, I get it. I think you’re a complete moron, but I get it.

Anyone else, if you can’t like what this President says and does, you got issues. The man is hitting the reset button in blue collar, Queens fashion. I don’t care if he’s a billionaire. Those so-called, polished statesmen/politicians have no idea what they’re up against.

If you’re Macron, you’re thinking, this crazy MoFo is serious. As if I don’t have enough problems.

Feel free to send the French Army then. They haven’t surrendered to anyone recently. They need the practice.

Macron isn’t fit to fold President Trumps socks.
He should have been thankful PDJT took the time to talk to him. Macrons condescending eruoweenie attitude should earn him a nice cold shoulder from PDJT but fortunately PDJT is a better politician than I would be.

I was going to say something like “At least Trump didn’t go to a retirement home to find a wife”.

Lincoln doesn’t belong on that list, but I get your point.

Lurker : “ I think [the] number one priority, because it’s not finished,
is it to get rid of ISIS,” Macron said.”

The problem manifests itself in Islam, not just in ISIS.
Eliminate the concept of 'jihad' from the geo-political conquest nature of Islam,
and make it an individual spiritual quest rather than one of violence, only then will
Islam will be at peace with itself, it's neighbors, and those who they claim are apostates.

Yeah, they sort of skipped over Lincoln’s habit of ignoring the United States Constitution when I was in School. #;^)

This is a great couple sentences to help define PDJT and help explain why so many of the blue collar types like me can identify with him.

Excellent post, another example why Free Republic is such a great place.
