The President Just Got Caught In A Huge Lie, And People Called Him Out Immediately

1 year ago

During his visit to France on Thursday, May 25th, President Trump met with French President Emmanuel Macron. While they were speaking, Trump reportedly told Macron that he was his candidate of choice during the French elections. There is, however, lots of evidence to the contrary. During the elections, Trump commented:

[Marine Le Pen is] strongest on borders, and she’s the strongest on what’s been going on in France.

Twitter's having a good time lampooning the statement:

This is the first time France has gotten a dose of Donald's dishonesty:

President Trump's trip overseas is nearing its conclusion. It wasn't a total disaster, though his lie to Macron was one of many snafus the President couldn't help but commit during his time abroad. Overall, however, the U.S. is in a much stronger international position due to President Trump harnessing the unimaginable power of a magical orb:
