    Nothing Trump leaked made Macron look bad.

    It only made Trump look like he always does – a petulant baby.

  2. Why is nobody talking about the other message Trump leaked? I find Rutte’s message more alarming than Macron’s.

    Reading that message made me feel a little bit bad for Macron, I mean not really ’cause he’s another entitled member of the elite, but just a little lol ~ Reading it, it’s just like “why must I deal with toddler?”

    It’s not anything you wouldn’t have to stand by, honestly.

    Honestly kinda respect Macron for that. If someone leaks your private messages to dunk on you and your response is just “yeah I meant it,” that’s a power move. Trump leaking DMs is very on brand too. None of this is surprising anymore, just messy.

    Trump is enjoying leaking private messages of world leaders but is afraid of the Epstein files coming out !!

    The funny part is that Trump is actually proving everyone right by behaving like a spoiled child, while at the same time showing the world how the French president knows how to act as a world leader. Macron might not be very popular because of his domestic policies, but from my armchair here in good old America, he looks like a solid player when it comes to foreign policy.

    New book idea, Donald. After *The Art of the Deal*, what about *The Art of Shooting Yourself in the Foot*?

  7. I live in New Hampshire. Hey France, will you take me in please? I want my daughter to be raised in a semi decent country.

  8. Macron literally said:
    1) I don’t get what you are doing, let’s talk
    2) we should have dinner too
    What is the point of this leak, my group chat has spicier conversations

    I hope other world leaders leak messages now that make him look like an even bigger doofus, if that’s even physically possible

  10. Nothing that Macron said makes him look bad. Also he’s a very smart man and he knows that no conversation and written text is ever private, not in politics or in business.

  11. Trump comes across so borderline and emotionally labile I’m surprised any of these people even try reasoning with him. He turns on a dime. His supporters probably love it from the “troll” aspect but it just makes him look like the immature fool he is.

    The fact is this is all a slight for being ignored for the Nobel peace prize. He’s obsessed with it and we all knew this would be where it ended up, a spiteful retaliation. He’s desperate for a legacy but is too stupid to craft one with strategy and time, everything is a desperate attempt for recognition he’ll never get because he only understands anything from the lens of how it makes him look.

    The private chat leak unironically made Macron look reasonable and Trump look petulant and unhinged.

  13. Everything leaked about Trump made him look psychotic. Everything Trump leaked made him look like a baby that international leaders have to tiptoe around

    Imagine dodging military service because you’re a coward and then asking your military to potentially shoot at people who yesterday were your allies until you wanted to steal their land.

    Yes I realise I cannot go back to Hawaii after making this statement.

  15. They’re not even that wild of texts. They’re normal, reasonable things anyone would be asking. Why did Trump think this was gonna hlbe some “gotcha” moment?

  16. trump doesn’t get that not everybody is a snake in private, and real world leaders have no trouble standing by their words

  17. Honestly macron is the only one that rattles him, and even the text shows that macron is literally biting his tongue trying to coax him off the ledge so to speak. It must be exhausting trying to deal with this emotional snowflake.

    You’re trying to run a country and you gotta wake up and deal with some paparazzi type shit with random tweets from some toddler having a tantrum. Or he bombed a country or kidnapped a world leader and stole their oil.

    It’s like the domestic abusers handbook.

    We are at smear campaign stage.

    Everyone who has ever been one of these relationships knows exactly what is going on.

  19. “I take responsibility for everything I do. I tend to be consistent in what I say in public and in what I do in private.”

    We should be so lucky.

    I think Trump was trying to come off as transparent and get his gotcha moment. But it’s an untrustworthy trait. Shows that he doesn’t even care about being on the same team. No leader will ever consider confiding in him unless they are purposefully using him. Knowing he might leak a conversation.

    When Macron looks good in a situation, like the level headed person or the adult of the group, you know you fucked up.

  22. Plane_Course_6666 on

    It’s wild that Trump would release a private message from another world leader acting as a responsible adult, thinking it would somehow make Macron look bad.

    Makes you wonder exactly how far Trump’s illness has progressed by now.

    This is the same Macron who flat out called former Australian PM Scott Morrison a liar.

    >Asked if he felt Mr Morrison had lied to him, Mr Macron did not mince his words.

    >”I don’t think, I know,” he said.

    Macron is trying to be the diplomat. Trump is, as usual, a child (to paraphrase Groucho Marx, Trump is as old as the woman he feels).

  24. Its cause Trump doesn’t know how to read. Macron mentioned Greenland and immediately thats the only word Trump read and he thinks Macron is supporting him with Greenland.

    Trump is really stupid.

  25. TBH France seems to be one of the few EU countries that have taken a sensible stance.

    I can’t believe the UK hasn’t told the Mango Mussolini to fuck all the way off. Shameful.
