Analysis | Why Trump’s explosive claim that Macron wants a European military ‘to protect itself from the U.S.’ is so misleading

He only hears what he wants to.

Given concerns with the increasingly aggressive posture of Russia toward the Baltic, Balkan and Scandinavian countries, combined with increased uncertainty of any partnership with the US, the decision to strengthen EU military strength is unavoidable.

Macron said what he said. The reality is that the EU is pursuing an political agenda of integration, which includes generating an independent Defence capability, and which will over time undermine both NATO and US-European bilaterals. The process is written into the treaties.

He obviously did not have his translation earpiece in.

Day after day America is becoming more isolated from the world and less of the 1 world leader we have been for decades. What is next Mr. Trump?

Oh, I think I know why realDonaldTrump claim is so misleading. Is it because everything that comes out of his mouth is a lie?

It was in Macrons speech you fake news numbskulls

Has he said anything right since he became the president?

The devil is in the detail.. ☝🏼 misleading 😉

Build a wall and have Trump pay for it...

From the stock market Voter Fraud Macron wanting its own military N. Korea ended nuclear weapons. Every word that comes out of his mouth is misleading

Is there anything that Trump says that isn’t misleading?

Because they will buy Russian weapons then

LMAO. Macron didn't mean a word of it. It's a game world leaders play. Who can rile Fatso up the most. Macron is way ahead on points...lol

President Trump.. as an outsider,what do you think about intelligent politicians?

'Misleading' is a word that best describes how Trump operates.

Sounds just like what he said about the invading caravan...now it's Europe.

How is this Trump’s claim? Marcon said it... fakenews at its best...

Hello there, your friendly clickbait translator here again. 'Explosive' = 'strongly indicating dementia,' 'misleading' = 'lies lies lies.'

I just hope that EmmanuelMacron is ready to the aid of the disenfranchised democratic majority of America.

How is it possible that Trump can continually surpass his own stupidity? Surely there is a limit SOMEWHERE?

“We have to protect ourselves with respect to China, Russia and even the United States of America,” Macron said...

Everything Trump says is misleading. Intentionally misleading.

Republicans: we must increase military spending Also republicans: other countries shouldn't have their own militaries Also republicans: why do we have to get involved in these humanitarian crises, what about other countries doing it?

Then something was lost in translation, because Marcon said “(threats from hostile nations)...even from the United States.”

Are you even listening to Merkel's speech RIGHT THIS MINUTE? She is rambling on about a European superstate. lol You guys have such bad timing with this article! 😂😂😂

WaPo reporting is misleading. Trumps cut and dry.

Look, I don't need an analysis. I KNOW that it's misleading if it came out of realDonaldTrump's mouth and refuse to waste any time worrying about it.
