'I think that's very insulting.' President Donald Trump condemns French President Emmanuel Macron's 'nasty' statement about NATO being 'brain dead'

Analysis by Luke McGee, CNNVisits of the US President are hard to predict, butFirst, there's the build-up, in which political groups across the spectrum announce their plans to protest against Trump as soon as he sets foot on British soil.

Then there's the President's obligatory dig at Sadiq Khan, the popular Mayor of London, over the city's knife crime epidemic. He might skip that tradition this time, given the deadlyBut his dislike of Khan is profound, and it could be too tempting. There's usually a"surprise" newspaper interview, in which he sticks his nose into British politics and offends a major political figure. That's often followed by a press conference where he tries to clean up the mess, but usually just ends up tying himself in a knot of contradictions.

The visits are usually more of a spectacle than anything else. This time, however, Trump lands just a few days before the UK holds what could be the most important general election in the nation's postwar history. And any unexpected grenades Trump chooses to hurl could have consequences beyond a two-day political storm and affect the outcome of an actual election.

Trumps the Man

Amexit time for America to ditch the NATO globalists

Us benefits KEAST, WITH TRUMP AT THE HELM... TRUMP Is SELLING AMERICA TO RUSSIER!!

True dat.

How is he NOT sitting in Putin's lap during this interview? natosummit

Right! Trump also said France should not put tariffs on US products, but he's going to put tariffs on French champagne and cheese...To those Americans who want these products Canada has lots of them!

'Brain dead' from the mouth of someone well versed in the subject🤣 If given 4 more years this Russian asset will continue doing all he can to 'Make Russia Great Again'. Putin criticizes NATO expansion as alliance holds London summit

crapping on our allies, as usual

Oh, DT can go soil his diaper for fun again. He knows Macron is the leader of the free world now, but he has only himself to blame.

Doing MORE of Putin (s) BIDDING !!! TraitorTrump TreasonousTrump We have a RussianAsset in the WhiteHouse We have RussianAssets in the GOP ex = MoscowMitch

Jesus, that man sure can ramble...

So we don't benefit from a Europe secure from aggression? Where do we send a lion's share of our manufactured and agricultural goods? Thought so.

Putin influence is very strong in that one. Breaking up NATO is Russia's end game. And Orange Face is doing Putins bidding.

9/11 would beg to differ. Macron should now mention how Trump doesn't even pay his 'fair share' in his own country. TaxScamBill NATO Macron

The one country that Article 5 was invoked for gets nothing from NATO?

Trump is the biggest embarrassment to the US ever in history. Half your country wants him impeached, removed from office, the rest of the world laughs at him and hates him, no allies respect him or your country anymore, the once respected Republican party is now Trump's party.

Trump says the US benefits the least from the international alliance Will Rump disband NATO this time after threatening UN. He has done that to TPP, NAFTA, Climate etc He is the PRESIDENT HE CAN DO ANYTHING HE LIKES OR DISLIKE

Jali_Cat France has sucked off the system for years.

A suit and a tie does not make a statesman. Trump is living proof.

Trump needs a basic education in history.

NATO is of enormous American strategic importance to dominate and steer the security and defenCe policy of power and economic competitor EU where it is deemed necessary. That is also why Macron is right!! And Trump definitely is not amused ..

So, we can tax all of their goods but they cannot tax ours? If anybody is going to screw the American people, it is going to be Trump!

He’s clueless, but that’s not news.

OK...here is my take. This guy is seriously sick and foremost...super stupid! Does he know what shit he´s talking about?

Hard to listen to the incoherence.

The reason for that is because the United States starts most of these wars

If he (realDonaldTrump ) only had a brain.......

According to Republicans, this clown represents the best America has to offer.

CNN Fake News!

Such class

Trump often says the United States is the least profitable. If the United States is always the least, how does it become the largest country in the world? I can only understand that he is insatiable.

Absolutely. America has always been the patsy. That shit ends NOW

And he made Macron point for him, which I disagree with.

Trump has been saying insulting, nasty and untruthful things about NATO since day one, and he thinks that's ok....Macron makes one statement and he takes offence. Snowflake. Why doesn't he just leave NATO -I'm sure no one would miss his whining and insults.

Proof positive.....Melania must've told Donald to give Emmanuel a kiss from her when Donnie saw him!

MSNBC ABC Hey realDonaldTrump stop embarrassing us! Ok let me teach you something you obviously don’t know-American troops being in south korea helps america expand its reach around the world,its not a pay us to protect you thing! Your cluelessness is simply astounding dude!

Trump : 'Personne n'a autant besoin de l'OTAN que la 🇫🇷 ... Les 🇺🇸 sont ceux qui en bénéficient le moins... Si la 🇫🇷 taxe les GAFA, nous taxerons leurs vins, fromage, airbus etc. 7,5 Milliards de 💵 de taxe tarifaires sur les produits européens...' EmmanuelMacron NATO

He is despicable.The only time in the history of NATO that article 5 was used was after 9/11 when every single member nation came to OUR AID-without hesitation.Trump is a disgrace,an ignorant rabid fraud-he brings shame on all of us every single time he opens his filthy mouth

Leadership,His base are so thirsty for it, they'll crawl the desert toward a mirage when they discover there's no water they'll drink the sand. People don't drink the sand cause they're thirsty. They drink the sand 'cause they don't know the difference. Trump drinks the sand.

Wow! Trump does know what he’s talking about. This is why we can’t afford to give him 4 mr yrs. he’ll destroy NATO if he gets his way. That’s an embarrassment for the United States to have Trump overseas representing us. Bashing France? France is our best ally. Wow! Donnie!

The world has had enough of this sick narcissist bastard who has no humble bones at all. Constantly praising himself and puts down anybody who has done much more than he ever can!

For sure, Russia benefits the least from the alliance

It's not difficult to guess why EU thinks NATO is braindead. Let US and UK (and Turkey) go, cancel the F35's and focus on our own cooperation, technology and defense.

Republican Congressional members knows this boy is over his head so why do they defend him on Ukraine? GOP told us Teapartiers to vote them in for less debt, taxes and regulations..BUT THEY GAVE US THIS EMBARRASSING CLOWN.

Can you even imagine the Absolute meltdown happening in his administration right now? Lots and lots of Tums being popped. I was waiting for someone to come physically drag him out of there.

The 🇺🇸 is the biggest beneficiary of the arms-market called nato

dear cnn , why even ask this traitor - who clearly demonstrated he has ZERO moral compass - for his opinion on some rumor ? take responsibility and stop intentionally digging for manure just yo boost your ratings!

Macron is a spineless socialist liberal. Always playing the good guy afraid of his image shame

What President Macron said was NATO is facing a Brain Death, it’s not the same as brain dead. Macron was alluding to a brain drain. Mr. Trump is a complete Moron and has no idea what he is talking about and should not be allowed to be speak.

Trump is such a Liar.

Yeah, but who has the most enemies?

he's right

As soon as someone says something thoughtful like Mr.Stoltenberg right now Trump looks like a dumb school boy. But in fact Trump is a real risk to peace.

Soup or dumb words !

Well except for that only time in NATO history article 5 was invoked after America was attacked on 9/11 and the alliance went to war supporting USA in Afghanistan for almost 2 decades thing.

Trump is not a leader, this is a clown....

Delusional and Dangerous

Trump being President is very insulting

Trump has told a dozen documentable lies in front of the world media (I stopped counting at 12). No one questions the factual nature of these statements and he just lies and lies. Why is this acceptable?

Once again playing the victim. You do very well out of it, America starts conflicts and NATO sends its troops in.

Trump bothers me on so many levels. I am in despair. The fact that he has never picked up a history book & understood how NATO came about and why it is absolutely in the interests of the US that it is strong and resilient is beyond belief. So sad.

He sure likes to praise himself doesn't he

70% of NATO expenses are paid for by the US. France is so bankrupt, they do not pay their share to NATO. Like a divorced mother trying to obtain child support for her children, President Trump attempting to force these deadbeat countries to pay their Obligated Share.

French reporter asked POTUS why America was doing better than France, Trump told her “we have a better President” -Macaroni can’t handle the truth! It’s a shame France didn’t pick a better president! One that stood for the citizens, instead, behind them with a boot in their a$$ !

Benefits the least? They weren't saying that after 9/11 when they invoked Article 5. How many NATO solders died to support the US in the follow up to 9/11. The Dems and GOP need to denounce this statement from POTUS. SpeakerPelosi SenSchumer senatemajldr GOPLeader

He a rambling man

Unstable person ..!!

I think Trump is the one who is brain dead...

cnn just a fakenews , is that all you could think off!

Sounds like Pumpkin Spice is jealous of Putin's new boy toy, Emmanuel...

Trump has already shown he prefers the company of dictators so anything he says about actual democracies abroad should be no shock to anyone.

Putin is pinching his neck

I hate when he acts like he’s so offended when he says worse about everyone daily.

TRUMP “ SAY IT”! GOES TO WORLD STAGE AND ME, ME ME! MUST WATCH VIDEO!

What really does the West mean by 'China Threat'? are they sponsors of terror, wars? or is it threat of technological and economic advancement

Trump is the one who's brain dead.

Trump lecturing other presidents on being disrespectful. Who's brain dead now?
