The best way to confront a bully about the misinformation he is spreading is to confront him in front of everyone. Macron just did that.

It is because he is weak. He is not a good politician. He is not a negotiator. He is not intelligent. He does not understand his own government. He is not a business man. He does not know how to communicate. He does not know how to effectively manage people and situations.

It's been like that since his first term. His antics at gatherings of world leaders are constantly mocked. Pushing people out of his way, taking a golf buggy instead of walking with the others, etc.

That was a sarcastic remark. That said, Macron gave Trump no room to lie. When Trump tried to jump in Macron clearly outlined the terms of the aid and the obligator of the debt if such a debt exists- Russia.Which Trump probably understands as true. Trump wasn't able to twist these facts into lies.

Democratic elected officials (and frankly the Republican ones as well) should be standing in line to call Trump out on his lies. But no, it takes a foreigner with guts to do it right in the White House, on camera.

Trump is total 100% an aged degenerate with absolutely no conception of politics what’s so ever. American people YOU 🫵 need to stand up now and do your real country proud. Get rid of him and his cronies, legally or illegally by a hit. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇺🇦🫡

I think it's a mistake to belive that Trump is stupid or insane. He is selfish and cynical, he knows EXACTLY what he's doing to rally his voters. He knows he's wrong and lying, he just doesn't care as long as it benefits him.

I didn’t say he was stupid, a dictator like him doesn’t get to where he is by being stupid. Calculated law breaker,felon rapist that knows his adversaries are weak, ie democrats and US judicial system and they they have allowed it to happen over a decade or so. That’s what I’m saying.

One thing I have learned over the years is that you can be a complete moron, and yet still have skills in social conversation. It will carry you to a degree regardless of your actual intelligence, and with power and influence can ever cause people to turn on actual skill to instead favor you.

We can all berate him and quite rightly so, but in the end he is doing what he wants with a country of nearly 3 million for the next 4 years unless those people YOU 🫵 who did not vote STOP him and take your democracy back before it’s goes into a abyss. I will fight for you from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 anytime 🫡👍🥷🏼

There’s truth in your statement; however, he is genuinely stupid as shown repeatedly in his inability to answer questions off the cuff, think on his feet (always deferring instead), use language above a 4th grade level, speak in complete sentences, absorb complex concepts, stay on topic, and more.

Trump is a narcissist plain and simple… oh and he’s definitely stupid. Sorry not sorry. His dad paid someone to do his SAT’s… why you ask… because he’s not a smart man. My opinion.

Nah. He'll have negotiations with Putin about firing him. That makes as much sense as pretending Ukraine's situation has anything at all to do with him.

It's classic narcissist. My son's dad is a narc and says that all the time. They all do. It's really funny when you join narcissist support groups - they all say the same exact things and act the same exact way!! It's nuts. The orange turd fits right in

These weaklings dont allow themselves to be put on TV w/ any who can challenge their fragile lies, & rely on friendly media editing their craziest bits out of speeches, & pulling quotes out of context from their enemies. Any time Trump was challenged by someone smart, he took his ball & went home.

Your media(News) is more of A group of light entertainment channels fighting for ratings. I'm sorry to say, but with a few exceptions ITN/ Ch4 news productions here in the UK, we are heading in the same direction!

Love love love that Macron corrected trumps attempt at lying right there in the open. Trumps cheeks got mighty red & he just kind of sunk into himself too. 🤣🤣🤣 I wish I could have witnessed it in person! I hope more world leaders give him the old fact check 💙🔥

I think it is more he has a very frail ego. He needs constant flattery to prove to himself he is a half decent human being. He cheats to avoid accepting that his mistakes are errors.

And I'm pretty sure that until 2017, Trump had never been in any situation in which he couldn't just shut down anyone who challenged him -- except for maybe his father. Otherwise, Trump lived from childhood to his senior years without ever having to listen to anyone who didn't agree with him.

Since 2016 it is clear that Trump had at best a very superficial understanding of the issues. Except that he wanted to be "king", emulating Putin or Hitler.

I’m hoping that Starmer holds it together and also displays some courage at his meeting. Could do with more strong leadership like Macron at the moment, holds a mirror up to how weak Trump is

Yeah it'll be a defining moment for him though, for sure. Fingers crossed. I think the UK has a lot more potential than many give it credit for, still very well placed in the grand scheme of things. No idea if Labour has it in them to bring that out though. Next couple of weeks might be critical.

"But you don't understand! Correcting lies is censorship! That's not what I already wanted to believe, so it can't be true, therefore actually you're the one lying, and it's a conspiracy between all the educated people to oppress and bully us normal folk. Fox News said so."

He agrees because it's true, but he HAS to frame the lie to sell it to the American people per his agreements with Putin . Hard to do that when you walk in thinking the game is rigged in your favor but the opposition looks you dead in the eye and reminds you the game hasn't even started.

We don’t need trump’s permission to believe an honorable leader like Macron versus an orange buffoon who lies whenever words exit his stinking pie hole.

Why doesn’t he EVER sit up straight?!!!! My momma would slap my back and demand I straighten up!! He is such an embarrassment. I bet that’s how he sits on his golden throne..🙄 I loathe him!! 🤡

That was a brave move by Macron, correcting Trump to his face. But Trump will now be holding a grudge because he was contradicted, and he'll find a way to exact revenge on France. By doing something dickish, like putting tariffs on cheese, or something.

That would be exactly on brand. "This Executive Order decrees that henceforth sliced, fried potatoes will be referred to as MAGA Taters. The failing French, who totally are loaning money to Ukraine, do not deserve it. I know french fries, I was the first to call them that...".

The orange man didn't like that at all. We need more world leaders calling out the lies since our media won't do it. MAGA will bow down and eat the lies no matter what is said. It's like the orange man has dirt on all of them, and they can't do anything.

Only a matter of time… will watch Joy’s last show imminently, hear what Rachel M has to say about it … and wonder when Nicole Wallace will get the boot. Nobody seems to be chatting about it on air, however…

I know Americans think they are so smart, but Europeans are much more sophisticated in the matters of state and diplomacy. Men (Macron) against boys (the short-fingered-vugarian-from-the-outer-boroughs).
