in case anyone thought he was just making a passing aside-Macron Tweets it in French & English

[kpete]

in case anyone thought he was just making a passing aside in his speech, Macron puts it on Twitter (in both French and English):



@EmmanuelMacron

Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism. By putting our own interests first, with no regard for others, we erase the very thing that a nation holds dearest, and the thing that keeps it alive: its moral values.

Le patriotisme est l’exact contraire du nationalisme : le nationalisme en est la trahison. En disant « nos intérêts d’abord et qu’importent les autres ! », on gomme ce qu’une Nation a de plus précieux, ce qui la fait vivre : ses valeurs morales.

"Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind."

And tRump is a carrier.

5. Merci Macron!

Our American buffoon never looks more foolish than when he is on the national stage.

6. You can say that again!

Thank you.

8. His lack of dignity is blatantly on view...

in contrast to the others. It's no wonder they demonstrate their disdain for him.

7. Orange meets French Knife

10. I guess he's going to skip visiting our allies

for the next two years. I bet he is angry or maybe he just doesn't care since he gets away
with so much here.

He might as well just stay in his place in Florida, not like he does anything worth while at
the White House.

If he stayed there we wouldn't have to pay for the travel.

11. I want him to stay out of the country.

It is a much more pleasant place to live when he is gone.

12. Me too and if he could just take his people

with him what joy and peace would reign!!
