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.
@noelreports Did you see his face turn red?
@palin @noelreports unfortunately he doesn’t care :(
Only if he can make some kind of deal 

@noelreports trĂšs charmant, mon PrĂ©sident 😁

@noelreports If only Macron would just punch that treasonous orange dickbag in the face, that would really make my day.

Fuck this US regime. These Republican Putin scumbags are not our friends and will stab us in our backs.

@McWabbit Hes willing to stab most of his own citizens. Of course he’ll stab Europe. @noelreports
@noelreports What a corrupt sack of shit, the fanta fascist.

@noelreports ze accent français 😆

Mais oui, il a quand mĂȘme Ă©tĂ© assez clair.

@noelreports I know it's been said a billion times before, but looking at that video it really shows how much of a petulant toddler the American President looks like.

#Trump

@noelreports
Superb Monsieur Macron!!!

@noelreports
Looked like his blood pressure just spiked. More people need to do this. Grow a pair and call him on his bullshit.

Maybe we can put him in the hospital...

@noelreports Trumps face got so red , thought he was going to catch fire.
@noelreports That guy next to Macron is such a fucking moron.
@noelreports Somebody put a Dunce hat on Trump, then a white jacket with straps.
@noelreports Dammit, Macron's English couldn't be more stereotypical.
@noelreports "Listen verrrrry carrrefully, I shall say zis only once!"
@ubik @noelreports
The same for Trump: his French couldn't be more stereotypical too😅
@elCelio @noelreports I'm amazed someone with Trump's IQ can put a sentence together in his own language, let alone a different one.

@ubik @noelreports French accent is very consistent for a reason. Just like Italian or Spaniard or Chinees or Autralian or Cockney or Texan or Valley girl. Most pf the time it has to do with lack of sounds in the original language but also many other aspects of pronunciation, like tone. Chinese for instance uses tones in ways most other panguages don't, so that make most of us terrible at pronounocing Chinese.

TBF, at least US and UK accent in French is pretty pronounced too.

@mdione @noelreports yeah, I've been living in a french-speaking area for a long time, and I understand that. In the same way that I understand that I have an accent when I speak any language which is not my mother tongue (incl. French). But all of the french people I work with speak much better English than Macron, so that doesn't seem like an excuse to me. We're speaking of someone who's been in the international scene for many years and who is also relatively young, he shouldn't sound like a comedy sketch.
@ubik @noelreports you seem to be in an area close to GenĂšve. Of course people are more used to speak other languages. They probably have to do it every day. Meanwhile Macron spends most of his time in France speaking French. :shrug: I guess he doesn't have much time for pronunciation lessons :)
@mdione @noelreports I have no problem accepting that I am privileged to be in that environment, but I am certainly not more privileged than Macron. I went to public school, not elite licées or grandes écoles. Macron meets world leaders at least on a weekly basis, takes part in the European Council, and so on... It's part of his job to be better equipped.
@mdione @noelreports and I understand the take on English speakers, they usually suck at foreign languages, in part because of the "curse" of almost all of the content being available in English, and otherwise because of the self-centredness of their education systems. OTOH, the reality is that English is the lingua franca, whether we agree with it or not, so every national-level politician should be proficient at it.

@noelreports

I like the way he held his arm down, as you would do with a misbehaving child. Small things help.

@noelreports @ErikJonker compare this with the photo of the King of #Jordan when he met #trump some weeks ago. #macron #usa
@noelreports
👏👏👏
@noelreports @CStamp Trump is such a sack of shit.

@noelreports

Merci M. President Macron! C’était merveilleuse!

@noelreports strong speech but weak budget, as often with France. This one is good though.
@dapangma @noelreports mais trùs sexy les français comme toujours 😆
@noelreports Thank your, Emmanuel #macron ! ❀đŸ‡ș🇩đŸ‡ș🇩đŸ‡ș🇩
@noelreports The body language between the two says it all! đŸ€Ł
@noelreports
Trump appears like a sulking toddler beside real world leaders with manners and and adult vibes.
It would be funny would it not be so dangerous to have one of the worlds most influential economies and country with one of the biggest army and atomic-bomb arsenals be lead by a delusional Tech-Billionaire and an orange with the common sense of a honey badger.
@noelreports
Excellent answer, dear French neighbour!
If you insist just a little bit more, Trump will either burst or suffer a heart attack. In both cases, the world would be greatly indebted to you and I swear to drink only French wines for two years. Oh, let's say four years...

@noelreports

Reminder: Ukraine aid’s best-kept secret: Most of the money stays in the U.S.A.

@noelreports and tariffs go in 3, 2, 1


@noelreports to be honest thats how europe has to answer the current situation.
All of them. No appeasement for politicians who support the aggressor.

Thank you Mr. Macron.

@noelreports he has to have the last word all the time and it's always to confuse things and belittle the message .. Like his 'well, if you believe that then.....'

@noelreports Ha!

Trump is such a worm

@stux @noelreports Yes, it was well done. Macron was calm and reasonable as he corrected Trump like he was a six-year-old with the wrong answer to the question. Then he corrected him again when he doubled down on the wrong answer. That's leadership and presence of mind. Trump is outclassed.

@noelreports And whiile Macron is confronting bully 1, bully 2 Putin is repeating Trump's insults towards Zelensky and demonstrating that Europe is totally irrelevant with regard to his new bully axis https://www.liberation.fr/international/europe/friedrich-merz-un-futur-chancelier-allemand-pret-au-divorce-avec-lami-americain-20250224_RX52XQTHVFBVPKZ53W5C7ISQVI/
Friedrich Merz, futur chancelier allemand prĂȘt au divorce avec «l’ami amĂ©ricain»

Pour rĂ©pondre Ă  l’administration Trump, Friedrich Merz plaide pour un leadership allemand dans l’UE aux cĂŽtĂ©s de Paris et de Varsovie. Mais sa fragile victoire de dimanche limite sa marge de manƓuvre.

Libération
@noelreports I don’t see how this is true at all. I watched it with my own eyes heard it with my own ears! He was agreeing with Trump. Why do Americans have to always pay more,care more either why people are never happy with us. Now though it’s worse even our own people hate our country . Americans are good strong moral people and we can be #1 and proud of all we are! It’s sad such hatred runs through us and divides us. It’s a losing game but people can’t stop with crazy idealistic nonsense

@noelreports

How to appease a megalomaniac narcissist...

@noelreports it's like watching a conversation between an elementary school kid and a PHD.đŸ€Ł
@noelreports His picture in this comment looks like the one taken with Putin in Helsinki. He knows he's the dummy.
@noelreports đŸ˜”â€đŸ’« Macron even touched Trump's thighs during this meeting so don't make him a hero please!
@noelreports so Europe really burn the bridge with Russia
