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.
Weird way to call our president a moron
brutally
lmfao watch the video
brutally fact checks
This administration is going to kill so many people and liberals are just going to wag their fingers
What do you suggest a president do during a diplomatic meeting with another president other than saying words?
Take a swing at him.
Well its good you’re not a diplomat.
The world would be a very different place if Trump couldn’t safely approach a foreign leader without getting his fists up.
It would be very different. It would be a place without diplomacy. Agreeing to not attack diplomats is the most important prerequisite for diplomacy.
If you can’t send someone to talk things out then war is the first and only way for nations to resolve any conflict. I don’t think you want to live in that world.
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.
Im sorry but Macron its not an example for anyone, look at France, its a ticking bomb, Paris its an immigration nightmare with a lot of social and criminal problems. They cant talk to anyone, Europe is imploding, Germany its in a 3 years hot streak with recession, France is what it is, Portugal and Spain are the new tourism whores, the rest of the countries are trying to hide for all this. Big plus that at least Americans voted for Trump but Europeans didnt voted for Ursula von der Leyen, the grass its not greener here
Saying Paris is an “immigration nightmare” tells us more about yourself than the state of France. And I’m saying this as someone actually living there
Paris its an immigration nightmare with a lot of social and criminal problems
No, it is not.
You should evaluate who you are getting your talking points from and whether it’s ethical to spread such (mis)information without at least verifying it for yourself.
You think its a plus that we voted in Trump? You’re gonna get laughed out of here and probably down voted to all helll. My recommendation to you if you arent a bot, is to find a different website, bcz this isn’t the one for you.
Thanks for enlightening me! Here I was walking and having fund the past few months in Paris, enjoying what a world-class capital can offer. And sadly enough I have not witnessed a single issue related to immigration. Silly me!
How much time have you spent in these countries?
All my life between work and family, this is insane, we cant talk about emmigration that you are auto a racista. This shit is worst than reddit
You’ve spent all your life in Paris, Spain and Portugal? Sounds about as real as your original rant.
I don’t know about immigration, but maybe the backlash has something to do with the word “nightmare” right next to it
It could also be the casual misogyny.
Dude, this isn’t Xitter. The algorithm won’t help your alt-right fantasies to spread here.
Spain is a whore? lmao… It was super nice the last time that I went. Much much nicer than USA.

I really wish the media would stop misusing words for clicks.
He interrupted Trump to firmly fact check him.
“Brutally”? Look at what they did to my boy “slammed”. Suddenly brutally is going to mean, gently.
Let’s try a brutal hipcheck next?
The truth doesn’t matter to Trump, his cabinet nor his supporters. When will the media learn this?
This. They do not care about facts or logic unless it serves their agenda. Truth is wholly malleable to these lunatics.
That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be fact-checking him. You won’t sway the faithful, but you can knock some sense into the unaligned.
Fair point. But fact checking isn’t exactly BRUTAL. The language of modern journalism rarely reflects the current state of US politics.
You’re not going to get any argument from me about the scourge of sensationalized headlines.
Media won’t learn when the orange creamsicle is banning good journalist outlets that question the presidents motives, and allowing only puppet outlets.
Most of the journalists working for corporate media will be perfectly fine being puppets. They already are.
I guess you missed when they banned AP for using Gulf of Mexico, and added the “new media seat” to the white house press corps?
“Leavitt said that the seat will be shared among an ideologically diverse set of outlets, including Beltway news website Axios and right-wing outlet Breitbart, both of which have been represented for years at the White House without having a permanent briefing seat.”
Corporate media doesn’t give a shit, this is easy soundbites for them.
It won’t matter to all of the people who have doubled down on Trump
It’s important that the few remaining civilized world leaders be seen to be unintimidated by Trump and Putin. It helps to break through his facade of being an invincible bully.
I mean yes, but it does matter to me. I want to see more gov’t authorities call him on his shit
I wish I could upvote this single statement more!!
Yes, but we can’t expect to argue fascists out of fascism, whether they’re leaders or followers.
Trump smirked as he was called out in real time and shook his hand to suggest the 60 percent figure was not precise. He then appeared to mouth “OK” and smirked as his French counterpart continued his fact-check.
Fascists will just smirk at your attachment to reason and truth, while loading their guns. Fascism has to be fought in other ways.
and I agree with that. If the French president pistol whipped him and finished the job I would’ve had even greater things to say, however, as someone without any amount of power comparable to that level of government, I’ll take what I can get.
what the actual fuck. we voted against russia withdrawing form ukraine. no offense fellow americans but I hate an aweful lot of you. If your a great person in every other way and you voted for this. well your still an asshole.
Only 28% of American adults voted for this. I voted against fascist every chance I could over the last 8 years and now I am trying to move my family out of the US to escape this neonazi dumpster fire… So please don’t hate us all
yeah there is a reason I said voted for it. I did not even add or did not vote against it so I feel I was being pretty restrained in my comment limiting to half the ones who brought him to the position actively and not the ones who did through apathy. I unfortunately are not in position to move out.
Oh, don’t worry. We hate them too

Macron is a smooth operator isn’t he?
Not according to his poll numbers
Oh yeah. So brutal. Brutally touching each other. Touch me more brutally Donny
Indeed, Macron shut the Orange shit stain down.
please don’t make me cheer for this excuse of a man
More of this from everyone please.
I’m not a fan of Macron, but at least he’s willing to call bullshit when bullshit is presented to him.
Maybe next time he can brutally curb check trump?
The Irish would like to show him how we kiss.
And he would look lovely in a Columbian necktie.
