Trump Calls Macron 'Pain in the Ass' to Other Ambassadors

snip

President Trump said in a closed-door White House meeting that French President Emmanuel Macron is “a pain in the ass” and disparaged Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following the release of a video that appeared to show the world leaders gossiping about him, a report said.

The president was speaking to more than a dozen ambassadors to the United Nations when, on two occasions, he addressed the viral recording from the NATO summit earlier this month, three sources told The Daily Beast.

At the White House meeting, Trump also allegedly referred to Macron as “short” and criticized him for not doing enough in recent Iran negotiations, the report said. Later in the day, at lunch with the ambassadors, Trump again allegedly trashed Trudeau and Macron in a lengthy tangent.

Trump’s comments made some of the ambassadors in the room “visibly uncomfortable,” a source at the meeting told the outlet.

2. I'm sure that in French and every other language, Trump has been referred to as far far worse

...by every sane minded diplomat and world leader.

On second thought - so have many of the not so sane minded and even dictators and despots (what was it that Kim Jung his buddy in North Korea called him?)

Sigh..I welcome in the future when we have a real leader and example of someone worthy of the POTUS title....

There are not enough pejoratives for this clown, so even dictators are welcome to contribute.

It’s frankly reached a psychotic stage— the smallest criticism sends him into a tailspin of anger and an all-consuming need to “get even.”

So, behave like a king asshole (or asshole king), and yeah, they WILL laugh at you, and worse.

Imagine 5 more years of this prime-number shitstorm? No way, no, negative, ixnay, uh-uh. That would be the death of America as we’ve known it (we’re halfway there already.)

¡VOTE!
