  3. @AdamT: Ha! His base wants this. They are (honestly and literally) so lacking in basic knowledge of global economic reality that they believe that "The U.S. is #1 and should act like it, gudammit!"

  4. Macron probably just responded in French. You ignorant shithead, that is Merkel's problem, not mine. hahaha
    He then continued in English. Yes, Mr President, pardon my French, by the way, i brought some fabulous French wine for you to taste.
    Leans over to his companion and speaks in French. "Get the used dishwater and put it in some wine glasses. He won't know the difference."
