Emmanuel Macron swerves past Donald Trump to embrace Angela Merkel

So in your opinion who this man shakes hands with first decides who the leader of the free world is.

Does that not sound as stupid to you as it does to anybody else?

Where the hell did I say that? The signs of who is the leader of the free world now, has been going since he was elected. Only ones really defending Trump as being the leader, is the Trump backers. The rest of the world see him as a joke with a massive military, but no leader.

You said it right here

"It is clear that the leader of the free world is a German lady now."

The only thing that happened to make you think that was this man shaking her hand.

Whether you like Trump or not, he is the leader of the free world.

Nothing anybody does in Europe will change that.

The Europeans are smart, and they rightfully fear Putin. Anyone can see he is actively trying to restore the old USSR. The Europeans also see easily Putin is manipulating Trump. He's making Trump look like a child.

They are probably mostly on their own, so until Trump is out of office don't expect him to be popular with ANY of our Europeans allies..

Yes, Trump is talking about limiting their American welfare and they probably don't like that.

The fact is nobody likes to be told they aren't holding up their or that we won't hold their ends up so much anymore. There is no way to say that and make it sound good to the one who is receiving the 'welfare'. But sooner or later somebody needs to say it anyway. We now have a President who doesn't acquiesce to the status quo, who is saying what needs to be said, and who isn't afraid to lead. And the left and other Trump haters can't stand it.

The more pragmatic of us who want the best for all are not going to say he is wrong to do that.

But the Europeans are also scared stiff of the Eu collapsing, having to stop free riding or having to explain the continuous lies their parties have been telling over decades to their peoples. They feel like rats must, when trapped in a corner.

How are good manners an excuse for a world leader? He greeted the woman first, then the people next to her instead of jumping over people.

This seems like pretty standard etiquette at a major event.

I almost agree with this. The sticking point is his long approach directly toward the President, then a last second swerve as if to snub him. Possibly inadvertent but it
didn't look that way. The handshake was clownish.

So according to Trump supporters our European allies are rats, and enemies now? And those same Trumpsters will defend ex-KGB Putin who is trying to put together the old USSR...

Seeing how perverted and warped the current so called 'Conservatives' are Ronald Reagan must be spinning in his grave.

LOL the orange one is an unpopular man. It is clear that the leader of the free world is a German lady now.

Love how Trump tries to use his bully handshake, but Macron fights back yet again.

I feel sorry for you Americans... an American president treated like Berlusconi... Trumps European tour is going to be a must at studies of body language at universities.

Micron Macron was just making sure he get's on the good side of a fellow EU puppet. He probably wants to get her advice on bringing in hundreds of thousands of refugees.

Nope. 'Didn't say that. You did.
 
SenorXm/Sirius said:
Yeah you did call them rats. You said rats and in another thread another big Trump supporter called the Europeans enemies.

Maybe you should reread it. Didn't say the rest of what you said I had either. You turned the words around in my mouth. Nice trick. ;)

I read it. I'm not going back and forth on this. You called them rats, maybe you didn't mean to but using the word 'must' makes it sound like you call them rats. And I didn't say you called them enemies. I said another poster did. Maybe you need to reread.....;)

Have a nice day.
 
Just goes to show how the French are still controlled by the Germans even after the USA saved their country from exstinction twice in the last century.

The Eurotrash insult Americans to hide the fact that Europe is so ****ed up. Europe being ****ed is the main reason The United States exist. I guess we owe them thanks, to an extent.
