Saw him and that stupid German crone Merkel all huggy on Rememberance Day coverage news yesterday.

Sickening.

Mind you I did hink it bad form for Trump not to turn up to the US War Memorial cemetery function because it was raining.

He may have been worried that orange fairy floss hair do might melt. Cheesy

In the shadow of a grand war memorial here, French President Emmanuel Macron marked the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I by delivering a forceful rebuke against rising nationalism, calling it a “betrayal of patriotism” and warning against “old demons coming back to wreak chaos and death.”

Speaking in French, Macron emphasized that a global order based on liberal values is worth defending against those who have sought to disrupt that system. The millions of soldiers who died in the Great War fought to defend the “universal values” of France, he said, and to reject the “selfishness of nations only looking after their own interests. Because patriotism is exactly the opposite of nationalism.”

“By putting our own interests first, with no regard for others, we erase the very thing that a nation holds dearest, and the thing that keeps it alive: its moral values,” Macron said.

He was a socialist, technically left wing. Also a theist.

I think he is whatever was convenient at the time to gain power.

Pure rhetorics, those men died for their country's right to make their own laws and maintain their culture.

They never fought for demographic replacement, a one world global dictatorship and their tradition and cultures to be erased as Merkel/Macron are doing.

Macron has no honour.
