Donald Trump loves to poke fun at people. Especially when those people have sparred with him in the past.
And Trump insulted a foreign leader with this hilarious statement.
President Donald Trump didn’t hold back at the World Economic Forum in Davos, taking a playful jab at French President Emmanuel Macron’s odd choice of eyewear during his speech.
The American leader spotted Macron strutting around with dark aviators indoors, turning what could have been a serious address into a spectacle that begged for commentary.
“I watched him yesterday with those beautiful sunglasses,” Trump said.
“What the h*ll happened?”
That simple question from Trump captured the confusion many felt seeing the French president hide behind shades like a celebrity dodging paparazzi.
Macron later tried to explain it away, claiming some vague eye issue forced him to wear the sunglasses, but that didn’t stop him from firing back at Trump.
The French leader went on the attack, labeling Trump a bully in his remarks, escalating their public spat.
This exchange highlights the growing friction between Trump and his European counterparts, especially over bold American moves on the global stage.
Trump has been pushing hard for U.S. control of Greenland, a strategic asset that’s got European noses out of joint.
The idea of America owning the massive island territory from Denmark has ruffled feathers across the Atlantic, with leaders like Macron seeing it as overreach.
Despite the barbs, Macron extended an olive branch by inviting Trump to a dinner in Paris during his European trip to hash out the Greenland issue.
But Trump wasn’t biting, flat-out turning down the offer.
Yet, in a moment of classic Trump style, he lightened the mood by assuring everyone about Macron: “I like him.”
That personal touch from Trump shows his ability to mix tough talk with genuine rapport, even amid international showdowns.
