Macron says phone calls with Trump are like sausages: You don't want to know how they're made

French President Emmanuel Macron said phone calls with President Trump are like eating sausages — you don’t really want to know how they’re made or what’s inside.

Macron was asked at a press conference on Tuesday to elaborate about a reported "terrible" phone call with Trump, according to Reuters. The French leader then quoted the 19th century Prussian prince and statesman Otto von Bismarck.

“As Bismarck used to say, if we explained to people how sausages were made, it’s unlikely they’d keep eating them,” Macron said, the news service reported.

"So I like it when people see the finished meal, but I’m not convinced the kitchen commentary helps with delivering the meal or eating it," he added.

than drumpf. He's the most stupid which is why all the autocratic countries want him as president, he has no morals no concerns about anything in the world other than his own personal power and prestige, o can easily be manipulated into doing things that hurt our countries and help theirs if they give him a sufficient bribe.
