31. I disagree

Thu Jul 13, 2017, 03:08 PM

Jul 2017

There was an article I read back at the time of the G20 that suggested that his goal was to try to tether Trump in with the EU countries. There are many things - left from the past - where the EU countries are involved with us, including NATO, the fight against ISIS, Syria, Afghanistan, and climate change. In particular it seems that in the first two meetings and this one, Macron wants to influence Trump on the climate change accord.

The US is so powerful, that the rest of the world is better off if Trump is flattered and co-opted to do things that will be for the good of the world. It is also clear he likes Macron better than Merkel. I seriously doubt Macron is at all surprised that Trump can not behave like an civilized adult, much less a President.
