I wonder what Macron is thinking? (Original Post)

OP

(7,629 posts)1. There is one obvious reason
Macron was in a tight election against Marine le Pen, a far-right politician who is aligned with Putin. Trump may just have been looking for dirt on Macron to give to Le Pen ahead of the french presidential election.

Allow Putin's invasions and drop out of NATO.

as we do. Or it was about sex; TFG tried to use it agains Macron in some way, and Macron told him ça m'est égal.

Unless it was evidence of an affair with Melania. I wouldn't put it past trump to use that (if it existed) to get out of any financial agreement with Melania in a divorce.
