Trump mocks France's World War II record as relations with Macron deteriorate into confrontation

[RKP5637]

Incredible! He constantly has to pick fights and bully his way around, the anti-peacemaker.

President Donald Trump mocked France's war record in a Tuesday-morning tweet that again waved the idea of the US pulling out of, or modifying its relationship to, NATO.

French President Emmanuel Macron has long pushed for a European army separate from NATO, the global military alliance that includes the US and Canada and has sought to secure the continent against Russian aggression that has grown since the end of World War II.

Spurred by the US's withdrawal from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty, which eliminated a category of nuclear weapons and almost denuclearized the continent, Macron renewed his calls to break away from depending on US military might.

1. he is mentally ill. n/t

[RKP5637]

2. He really is, there is absolutely no doubt about it now. Day by day, he is losing it more. n/t

[Jeffersons Ghost]

12. K&R Trump's losing all our allies, while sucking up to North Korea.

[dem4decades]

3. Trump obviously knows nothing of the resiliency of The Resistance.

Then or now.

[MrsCoffee]

4. And today threatens France with wine tariffs.

Someone needs a time out.

[MoonRiver]

5. Let's tweek that to a PERMANENT time out, of the White House.

[MrsCoffee]

6. The sooner the better.

[MoonRiver]

8. Today, please.

[UTUSN]

7. Words have reached their limit against SHITLER.

[RKP5637]

9. Definitely they have! n/t

[UTUSN]

10. I mean, how many times and with maximum force can we say "shameless" (& whatever else)

for it not to have an effect on him. Besides, he uses the gimmick of using the same words ("disgraceful" ) against others (who are NOT "disgraceful" ), thereby taking the power out of the words.

[lunatica]

16. He has the most limited vocabulary I've ever encountered in

a supposedly “educated in the best universities” adult.

The big words are only in speeches he tries hard to read off the monitors.

[Doodley]

28. He has the best words. They are tremendous.

[DeminPennswoods]

11. So embarrassing...

[struggle4progress]

13. He jests at scars that never felt a wound

DJ Trump born 1946

French deaths 1, 700,000 WWI and WWII 600,000: total = 2,300,000
US deaths 117,000 WWI and 420,000 WWII: total = 537,000

[RKP5637]

14. Plus he is a coward. I could never imagine Trump being in a battle. n/t

[Elwood P Dowd]

17. Trump is too much of a coward to even serve in the military with a non-combat MOS.

Can you imagine that coward trying to make it through 8 weeks of hell called Basic Training?

[RKP5637]

18. He would never make it! n/t

[Grammy23]

20. It would become apparent during that period of time

that he is unfit to serve in any capacity in our military. No way could he tolerate the need to follow orders, no matter how trivial. He would crack up at being trained to do as you are commanded. It is just not in him to be the one taking orders. As you recall at last week’s press conference, he was barking orders at Jim Acosta and others while sneering in general at the whole room full of reporters. And apparently relishing his power to do so. Can you imagine him in basic training having to be ordered around like the lowly slug he’d be. But that is a necessary part of the training to instill in you how a hierarchy works. He would wash out in the first week.

And it why he is a total failure as a Commander in Chief. He does not belong in a position of power over anyone or anything because he does not understand how to use the authority. For him, it is all about having his way instead of what is best for the country.

[Elwood P Dowd]

22. So true!

He would have been curled up in the fetal position crying for mommy and daddy after only a few days.

[Doodley]

29. He is a coward. Has to hide behind Twitter. Too scared to say it face to face.

[malaise]

15. Go away you ignorant fucking monster

The vile MAGAcretin is a pox on the planet.

[RKP5637]

19. ... update! ... The vile MAGAcretin is a pox on the universe!!!. n/t

[malaise]

23. ROFL

[RKP5637]

24. ...

[libdem4life]

21. Meanwhile, he's firing Kelly.

Who would be dumb enough to take that position...other than a Whittaker-like junior league idiot? One wants to look away, like any tragedy, but you can't. God help us...if you're out there.

[lovemydogs]

25. My Grandfather was part of the French Resistance

He was a Police Captain during WWII. He was a member of the Resistance.
My mother was a child during the war.
Many French - both in service and civilians risked their lives in fight against the Nazis and many more died.
And this was a country that lost a generation of men during WWI. A mere 20 years earlier.
Trump can F himself as far as I am concerned.
But, then, I've disliked him since the 80s

[redstatebluegirl]

26. The stress of possible indictments has him totally unhinged.

[RKP5637]

27. And they can't come soon enough!!! n/t

[Dr Kak]

30. Trump?

The scary thing is he was supposed to be the best the republicans could come up with, What chance does the US have.

[RKP5637]

31. Definitely scary if he's the best of the best. n/t
