France’s Macron brutally fact checks Trump to his face
The exchange went instantly viral.
Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron publicly corrected Donald Trump in the Oval Office after Trump falsely claimed Europe was only "loaning" money to Ukraine.
Macron clarified that Europe provided 60% of Ukraine’s wartime aid as grants and guarantees, not loans. Trump smirked but did not contest the correction.
The exchange came as Trump softened his stance on Russia, including voting against a UN resolution for Russia’s withdrawal from Ukraine.
You're viewing a single thread.
What so calling lies out is brutal now? The fuck did we come to this? Macron did what any reasonable person should do; touch his leg like "oh, you poor stupid thing" and Trump didnt shatter. He hobbled and agreed like the idiot old man he is.
Wait... He wasn't even SLAMMED?!
To the French, that was very much a slam. Logic over optics.
