Why is Macron so stupid? Does he not understand by now that Trump supports Russia and not Europe.

He's speaking Trump's language:

“‘You can’t be weak in the face of President Putin. It’s not you, it’s not your trademark, it’s not in your interest. How can you then be credible in the face of China if you’re weak in the face of Putin?’”

LOL, called him "weak" twice. This talk will get under his skin. So does this.

Well, he's not in Putin's face, he's kneeling down servicing him. If he does a good enough job it makes him a strongman too.

The world can't be weak in the face of Putin, but Trump absolutely can. Just stand back and watch him destroy Ukraine and The US while bending over for this hostile aggressor...
