Donald Trump Dragged After Being ‘Fully Humiliated On The World Stage’
MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday highlighted the moment earlier in the day that he believed Donald Trump was “fully humiliated on the world stage” after the president was fact-checked — to his face — by French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.
Macron made Trump “the first president in history who had to be interrupted and corrected by an ally when the president of the United States was lying and lying about that ally,” claimed O’Donnell.
O’Donnell noted how Macron had interrupted “blustering” Trump who was parroting his “standard line about Europe’s aid to Ukraine, the lie that Europe has loaned money to Ukraine, and it’s a loan, and Ukraine has to pay it back.”
“Trump became the first American president in history fully humiliated on the world stage by instantly getting caught and corrected in his lie,” he continued.
It was good to see that Macron at least had the ba lls to correct him yesterday, when he started on his bs. I hope that Starmer has the ba lls to do likewise.
Yes, was very pleasing to see Macron stop Trump mid-sentence - he actually put his hand on hid arm - & correct him.
Trump's face was a picture.
There's an oddity with the Conspiracy Theory adiots - well there's LOT of oddities with them - but in particular they all detest Macron. No real reason, I suspect few of them know why, they just copy the "Ultras" who basically tell them what to say, & to go away & disseminate.
It was SO good to see Macron stand up to the Racist thug yesterday.

Trump defends Musk’s ‘genius’ email to federal workers
President Trump on Monday defended tech billionaire Elon Musk after pushback over his email demanding federal workers list five accomplishments from the past week and in doing so, raising the of risk losing their jobs.
“There was a lot of genius in sending it. We’re trying to find out if people are working and so we’re sending a letter to people, please tell us what you did last week. If people don’t respond, it’s very possible that there is no such person or they’re not working,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.
The email instructed federal workers to respond to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) by 11:59 p.m. EST Monday with five bullet points of accomplishments.
When asked if the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) could benefit from streamlined communication, Trump blamed the Biden administration and then suggested that some people listed as federal government workers don’t exist, without providing any proof of that actually being the case.
Donald Trump Accidentally Insults Himself: ‘Who Would Ever Sign A Thing Like This?’
President Donald Trump is outraged that Americans are footing an unfair financial burden, citing a 2020 trade deal called the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement that he signed.
The president claimed during a White House press conference Monday that the impacts of the USMCA will be alleviated with a 25% tariff on all Canadian and Mexican goods starting next week, and unwittingly criticized himself after rebuking America’s neighbors.
“I mean, who can blame them if they made these great deals with the United States, took advantage of the United States on manufacturing?” Trump said Monday. “On just about anything, every aspect you can imagine, they took advantage.”
He continued, “I look at some of these agreements, I’d read them at night, and I’d say, ‘Who would ever sign a thing like this?’ So the tariffs will go forward, yes, and we’re gonna make up a lot of territory. All we want is reciprocal. We want reciprocity.”
Trump praised the USMCA in 2020 as the “best agreement we’ve ever made” and lauded it for replacing the “nightmare” North American Free Trade Agreement ratified under former President Bill Clinton, calling it the “worst trade deal ever made.”
He criticized NAFTA repeatedly during his 2016 presidential campaign against former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, blaming her at the time for her husband’s actions.
“It’s an improvement at the margins but far from perfect and not nearly as different as Trump claims,” said Jared Bernstein, the economic adviser to former President Joe Biden, in January 2020 of USMCA. “In fact, there will almost surely be no notable difference in trade flows.”
Trump made tariffs an integral part of his 2024 campaign and has taken strides, via executive orders, to get the ball rolling on implementing them on Canada, Mexico and China. Economists warn that these tariffs will have devastating effects on American consumers.
However, on Monday, Trump said his tariffs wouldn’t harm everyday Americans.
“It’ll be very good for our country,” he said. “Our country will be extremely liquid and rich again.”
Trump White House Tells Elon He's Stepped Over the Line
It took just over a month after his second inauguration, but it appears that Donald Trump may finally have put Elon Musk in his place.
After Musk's team at DOGE emailed virtually all federal workers over the weekend demanding that they summarize their activities over the past week in bullet points or risk termination, there was a near-universal outcry at the sense of overreach — especially when it emerged that Musk's plan was to feed the answers into an AI chatbot to decide which jobs were "necessary."
The chaos was so immense, in fact, that Trump's administration ended up telling agency heads, per sources that spoke to the Washington Post, that they could simply "ignore the public decree from Elon Musk to effectively fire employees who do not send in bullet-point summaries of their work last week."
It's a striking rebuke after Musk had been given seemingly unlimited rein over the federal government for weeks, and likely an inflection point in what's been an extremely cozy relationship between the billionaire Tesla owner and president Trump. But it shows that even the pair's chummy bond has limits.
Oops! Trump Accidentally Fired FDA Medical Device Reviewers
Turns out people want to know their pacemaker won’t accidentally kill them.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is scrambling to rehire some of the roughly 700 employees who were laid off en masse by the Trump administration earlier this month, with a particular emphasis on the more than 220 people in the FDA’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health.
Staffers at the unit are responsible for reviewing and approving medical devices like X-ray machines, surgical implants, pacemakers, heart pumps, ventilators and numerous other types of critical medical equipment.
They also maintain a database of devices that could inadvertently harm patients and need to be recalled.
