Macron thinks he charmed Trump into shifting stance on climate change
2017-07-16
Keep dreaming, boy-toy
[NYPost] French President Emmanuel Macron says his glamorous Paris charm offensive on Donald Trump might have changed the U.S. president's mind about climate change.
*snort* Obama-level influencing
Macron defended his outreach to Trump, saying in an interview Sunday in the Journal du dimanche newspaper "our countries are friends, so we should be too."

After a tense, white-knuckle handshake at their first meeting in May, Macron said they gained "better, intimate knowledge of each other" during Trump's visit last week.

Macron said "Trump listened to me" on their main point of contention ‐ Trump's withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement‐ and, "said he would try to find a solution in the coming months."
"maybe later"
The French leader acknowledged Trump's visit was carefully choreographed to give Americans a "stronger image of France" after deadly Islamic extremist attacks damaged tourism.

#4  Apparently Macron has never heard of an "opening position" in negotiations. It's followed by "let's see what it's worth to you".

#3  You ever hear of the term "Sweet Nothings", Macron?

That is what Trump was whispering in your ear.

#1  That's adorable. President Macron seems to be under the impression that President Trump never travelled to France in all his years as a private businessman, and thus had not formed his own impression of the country long since.
