Macron isn't doing very well domestically so he feels he must propound French values, as he reads them, but do that in broken English and it doesn't work.
Trump tolerated the meeting while looking aside as if saying without words, "I'm having a hard time being diplomatic with this little dick."
We see that as the two are sitting there.
It was a power move by Macron that Trump didn't mess up for him, nevertheless Macron looks very small by doing it.
Seems that way to me.
Maybe to various French audiences Macron looks fairly big. I don't know.
* French accent *
We will discuss Libya, Syria, Ukraine, North Korea and Iran ...
Trump looks away.
... A lot of these crises we need a strong coordination and partners at the table. And especially on Iran we have to fix the situation ...
Trump looks away from the table. (Is that a f'k'n raccoon I just saw. Walking by. With a parasol? And a mixed cocktail? Oh. Macron.)
... and we had a lot of trouble and we have to work very hard because I see we share the same objective.
First being sure that Iran doesn't get access to nuclear weapons. And second ...
Trump looks away from the table.
... stability of the region.
We will discuss about the economic global situation, how to decrease tensions and fix the situation in terms of trade because I think if we manage to fix the situation seven of us, we fix a grea part of the world and this is very important part of our discussion as well, and obviously how to find new ways to relaunch our economic (situation).
When I look at Europe especially we need some new tools to relaunch our economy. We decided ... probably decide to have new tax cuts, which is on of the ways to relaunch. We have strong coordination with (something).
And third obviously we will discuss a lot of things at the G7; gender equality, digital and how to manage this new world with common initiative together. And, obviously climate and bio (something) and a lot of these hot topics. And with this (agenda) ...
Trump looks away from the table. (Is that a lemur wearing a tutu? Dancing and waving a conductors baton?)
... we know the impact we can have on climate on the various agenda.
Trump looks away from the table (Is that a poodle wearing boots I just saw. With a parakeet on its back? Reading a little book?)
But our cooperation (something) our investors will (something). And I think, during the sessions, we will actually see in order to have some solutions to these problems and implementation of this (new set of solutions) and all these climate protections for the global agenda.
Trump is going to eat them alive.
He already signaled his mood, and he is in no mood for this.
That he even tolerated it without wrecking it shows impressive self restraint.
As Trump left the White House prior to this meeting and wearing the same tie, he signaled his frame of mind by the way that he handled reporters.
He was unusually impatient and stern.
He was unusually impatient and stern.
Here's the thing. Trump replaced the White House briefings with a spokesperson by holding his own outside discussions. Now Trump completely controls the pressers. These are the chopper pressers that we've come to enjoy because the journalists are not shown. The reporters say they don't like it. We barely hear their questions over the noise, the microphones are held in front of Trump, not over the journalists. They don't get any face-time on camera and their whole reason for being is greatly diminished. This is the genius of Trump. Yes, genius. Media genius. Trump works the line of reporters like a military command officer except his soldiers are all creepy bugs.
Watch Trump's frame of mind. He says some incredibly important things that signal his agenda with the Europeans. He's flatly not having their shit.
One reporter asks about the "I am the chosen one" incident earlier, just as we knew that that they would and Trump crushes the man, whomever that was, by Trump's dismissive response and then sweeps him away and moves down the line.
Then someone, and I love that we don't know who, asks about France's intention to tax American internet companies. Trump states that these companies are complicit with Hillary Clinton in the last election having affected so many possible votes, so he does not view them favorably, but if anyone is going to tax them it will be the United States and not France. Boom. He signals that has it out for Macron before getting on his plane.
Then Macron pulls this mealy-mouth crap right off the bat. And we see with our own eyeballs that Trump is sitting there graciously, but just barely, allowing Macron to bust his ridiculous move while thinking, I'm going smash you like a fly.
Trump has Macron's number. And Macron's number is up.
We see that in these two videos.

Is this guy hinting that he wouldn't refuse a new Marshall Plan?
The only Marshall Plan Europe needs is the one Marshall laid out between 1941 and 1945.
After that, we make them all states, throw out the Moslems, pack all the Lefties (theirs and ours) off to Greenland (now a territory), and show them what they missed the last 250 years.
Not a bad idea, edutcher, damn good idea actually.
