Summary
French President Emmanuel Macron publicly corrected Donald Trump in the Oval Office after Trump falsely claimed Europe was only “loaning” money to Ukraine.
Macron clarified that Europe provided 60% of Ukraine’s wartime aid as grants and guarantees, not loans. Trump smirked but did not contest the correction.
The exchange came as Trump softened his stance on Russia, including voting against a UN resolution for Russia’s withdrawal from Ukraine.
what the actual fuck. we voted against russia withdrawing form ukraine. no offense fellow americans but I hate an aweful lot of you. If your a great person in every other way and you voted for this. well your still an asshole.
Only 28% of American adults voted for this. I voted against fascist every chance I could over the last 8 years and now I am trying to move my family out of the US to escape this neonazi dumpster fire… So please don’t hate us all
yeah there is a reason I said voted for it. I did not even add or did not vote against it so I feel I was being pretty restrained in my comment limiting to half the ones who brought him to the position actively and not the ones who did through apathy. I unfortunately are not in position to move out.
I’ve voted for neoliberal scum to stave off the fascist scum my entire voting life starting with Kerry. I’ve phone banked for democratic socialists in primaries.
I’m still an asshole, not for my politics though, as there are many paths to assholery.
Oh, don’t worry. We hate them too
