We know Trump is not a leader--much less a leader of the free world.

Internet dubs Emmanuel Macron new leader of the free world after rousing Trump-thumping speech

Is Emmanuel Macron the new leader of the free world?
Politico magazine declared him such in the days before his visit to the United States, and his grip on the title seems to have strengthened after a rousing speech to the United States Congress, in which American lawmakers gave him standing ovations as he denounced Trumps outlook and policies without being so rude as to name his host.
Personally, if you ask me, I do not share the fascination for new, strong powers, the abandonment of freedom and the illusion of nationalism, Macron said, drawing loud cheers from the floor of Congress.
The reaction was swift, with MSNBCs Stephanie Ruhle questioning how this changes Americas standing in the world.
Is Macron angling to be the world leader? she asked. President Trump has made it clear: America first, American alone.
Heres how the reaction played out on Twitter...........................

😇 This will leave a mark! Especially after Trump's public fellatefest with Macron yesterday! Macron stepped in and became the leader of the free world.

(5,167 posts)He's likely on his way, I hope, and doesn't have to see or hear in person the wrath about to be rained down on him from his recent host at Tuesday's State dinner.
Macron has paved the way for Ms. Angela Merkle 's visit.
Poor Angela - she's likely to meet an enraged orangish man.
I think she can handle the situation..

Merkel is so far above Drumpf... well, let's just say that I hope that Angela brings documents as picture books.
