More than 40 minutes of mansplaining, rhetorical jousting, glares, glowers, shrugs, smirks and smiles. Trump and Macron face off at the NATO summit.
Although they remained seated throughout, manspreading in gilded chairs, at times they seemed to be circling each other like boxers, scouring for any vulnerability or weak spot, each intent on standing his ground without flinching or showing any fear.
“For the most part, they are all stepping up," he said of NATO allies."NATO has come a long way in three years, it has become very powerful, very very powerful, and it has become, I think, a much fairer [financial] statement in terms of the United States. We're able to go down a little bit. We were paying 4 to 4.3 percent of the largest GDP ever. Nobody has ever had a GDP like we have right now. Nobody's come close.
"I know that my statements created some reaction and shaked a little bit, a lot of people," he said, speaking in English."I do stand by them." Turning his focus to Ankara, Macron said:"When I look at Turkey, they now are fighting against those who fought with us, shoulder to shoulder against ISIS." He turned to Macron:"Would you like some nice ISIS fighters? I could give them to you. You could take every one you want.""It is true that you have current fighters coming from Europe, but this is a tiny minority of the overall problem we have in the region. And I think the number one priority, because it's not yet finished, is to get rid of ISIS and the terrorist groups. This is our number one priority. And it is not yet done. I am sorry to say that.
