President Trump and President Macron of France (Official White House Photo by Shealah Craighead)
The former head of the CIA’s bin Laden unit, Michael Scheuer, writes that Emmanuel Macron is either arrogant or his intelligence services have failed him if he thinks President Trump was elected to implement a “steady as she goes” policy for the United States. Scheuer writes (abridged):
It is never within man’s abilities to be perfect. That said, French President Emmanuel Macron came fairly close to perfection in his description of the world he envisions and wants imposed on the United States. It is a vision that, undoubtedly, will nauseate, infuriate, and worry those Americans who believe – as President Trump’s claims to – in an “America First”, non-interventionist foreign policy.
What is wrong with Macron? Macron demonstrated that he is either supremely arrogant and believes his vision – more properly the EU’s vision – is brilliant, unquestionably right, supremely moral, and cannot be challenged, or his intelligence services have utterly failed to provide him the data necessary to understand that Trump was not elected to conduct a steady-as-she-goes foreign policy. In his arrogance or ignorance, Macron reminded the pro-Trump citizenry of the hell that awaits them, their money, their republic, and their children’s lives if the Macron-voiced-vision of the internationalists’ “21st century world order” carries the day. Only a moron, it seems to me, would be uniformed about how much contemporary Americans hate a politician peddling the creation of a new “world order” of any type.
