Summary

French Prime Minister François Bayrou strongly criticized Donald Trump for his treatment of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during a White House meeting.

Bayrou condemned Trump’s remarks, “you’re either going to make a deal or we’re out,” as an attempt to humiliate Zelenskyy and pressure him into concessions to Russia.

Speaking in parliament, Bayrou called the situation the gravest European crisis since World War II.

His remarks drew applause from lawmakers, diverging from French President Emmanuel Macron’s more measured stance.

    Americans: “The French are cowards!”

    The French:

    Seriously, the French are constantly standing together against shitty policy and bad conditions and the US is constantly rolling over for people who only have the power they give them. Go France, you tell ‘em.

    FYI Bayrou is a proven pedophile sympathizer, a dick head and the most limp, yet still corrupted, politician of all time. So yeah, if even a limp piece of shit like him say this, it really means we are fucked up…
