Days after returning from a trip to France, President Trump tweeted his frustrations with French President Emmanuel Macron over his calls for the EU to create its own army, belittling France's defeat at the hands of Germany during WWII in the process, and his comments labeling nationalism as "a betrayal of patriotism."
"Emmanuel Macron suggests building its own army to protect Europe against the U.S., China and Russia. But it was Germany in World Wars One & Two - How did that work out for France? They were starting to learn German in Paris before the U.S. came along. Pay for NATO or not! ... The problem is that Emmanuel suffers from a very low Approval Rating in France, 26%, and an unemployment rate of almost 10%. He was just trying to get onto another subject. By the way, there is no country more Nationalist than France, very proud people-and rightfully so! MAKE FRANCE GREAT AGAIN!"
