In his opening statement Macron is being careful to touch on subjects he and Trump agree on -- fair trade, dealing with terrorism, the steps to take in Iraq now that Mosul has been retaken...

[spanone]

24. macron invited him!

[nolabear]

29. He invited "The President." I don't think he expected this one.

[spanone]

41. he invited trump

The centrist president’s invitation to Trump might at first seem surprising, after he publicly asserted his superiority by crunching Trump’s knuckles at their first meeting in May and later rebuked him for pulling the US out of the Paris climate accord.

But the invitation is part of a determined strategy by Macron, who – observing the US president’s increasing isolation on the western stage – has sensed an opportunity.

Trump seems to think Americans aren't aware of their country's deep history with France. "France was America's first ally. A lot of people don't know that," he said early on in his opening statement. Later on, he added: "a lot of people forget" that French troops fought in the American revolution.

Macron was asked about Russian interference in the U.S. election and his response was to say that he would not interfere in U.S. politics. Trump says he likes that answer.

Jennifer Epstein White House Reporter jeneps
"Nothing came of the meeting and I think it's a meeting that most people in politics probably would have taken," Trump reiterates in closing.

Says it was just ``research into the opponent.'' Says it's ``not unusual in politics.''

Jennifer Epstein White House Reporter jeneps
"My son is a wonderful young man ... It was a short meeting, it was a meeting that went very, very quickly, went very fast," he says. "From a practical standpoint, most people would have taken that meeting. It's called opposition research." Says it's "very standard" in politics for people to reach out with information about an opponent. "Nothing happened from the meeting. Zero happened from the meeting," the president says.

54. So why lie and say it was adoption?

[WinkyDink]

56. He just blathers and lies and makes up crap.

[Caliman73]

57. Your honor, I know they caught me in the vault, but there was no money!

Trump is too stupid to understand that you don't have to go through with the actual crime to be guilty of conspiracy to commit. They keep harping on this, "nothing came out of the meeting..." defense.

Look, the undercover cop doesn't have sex with the John to bust them for soliciting a prostitute. The cop stands there, the John propositions the cop, he offers money for sex, the cop tells the guy to show up at room "so and so", the guy shows up, with money; boom, he goes down for the crime. No sex, no money exchanged, just jail.

[teamster633]

50. Thankfully, Macron spoke first...

...giving me plenty of time to turn off the radio before Dolt45 began to embarrass us yet again.

Trump is asked about past comments he's made about France's decline. "It's gonna be just fine because you have a great president," he says. "You are going to have a very peaceful and beautiful Paris, and I'm coming back."

A French reporter asks Trump about his comment that ``Paris is no longer Paris.''
Trump smirks at the question, but then goes on to call Paris ``a beautiful city''

[hatrack]

Junior's upcoming rebuttal to congress.
