[in a private message to Trump, french president Macron explains they’re aligned on Syria and Iran, but he draws the line at Greenland]
[below, a rendition of the classic meme in which Peter Griffin is being checked for skin color by a cop, the light skin tones show “Don’t touch or else”, the dark ones “Let’s colonize together :)”]
Lets do great things. Emmanual feeding Trump with his own speech, which Trump likes so much he leaked the message, is satire gold.
Trump is a cunt for publicly airing messages sent to him in confidence. Everyone knows about his ego and what he thinks of brown people. Attempting to placate him in private to stop the first act of World War 3 is a reasonable action, and I refuse to dogpile on any world leader for trying their best to deal with that toddler.
The key insight is that they’re all terrible
This is like reading the messages in a game of Diplomacy
It’s one of those moments where you are reminded that imperialism is one big game and we’re all just pawns.
A pawn can still take a king if it works with its comrades
Macron’s english fluency is no better than mine, and I’m an underclass kid who learned with a dictionary on their lap. What the fuck are they teaching in elite french schools?
This is 100% intentionally dumbed down to Trump’s level. Would actually be surprised if Macron wrote this himself, rather than a team laboring over how they can dumb it down to a level Trump will comprehend, without stooping so low even he recognizes it as insulting or manipulative.
My friend what are you doing? We’re so good at killing the browns together, but you can’t just take our imperial holdings!
whose empire?He’s too heavy for the elites.
