President Trump on Sunday honored Veterans Day and the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I by paying tribute to America’s fallen heroes and the friendship with France that was “sealed in battle.”
At Suresnes American Cemetery and Memorial in France, Mr. Trump recalled that French and American troops “shed their blood together” to bring a victorious end to World War I.
Mr. Trump’s mournful speech contrasted sharply with French President Emanuel Macron’s remarks early in Paris where he took a swipe at Mr. Trump by condemning the dangers of nationalism.
“Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism,” Mr. Macron said in a dig at Mr. Trump’s nationalist “America first” agenda
At the American cemetery, where more than 1,500 U.S. service members from WWI are entombed, Mr. Trump did not fire back at his French host.

“War is peace, freedom is slavery.”
The President has a special place in his heart for those who serve and served the United States of America. God bless him.
Nationalism is a form of patriotism. Nationalism is the opposite of globalism. Macron is a globalist.

The farther removed government is from the governed, the bolder it becomes in mocking the people it governs.
That’s why the frog wimp has low ratings and that’s why Trump didnt want to waste his time to talk with this clown on his own soil.
And may God shine his love for my Cousin, PFC John Klopsfenstein, who gave his life for us at Meuse Argonne in WWI.
Doesn’t matter. France will become a suburb of North Africa within a decade.
French President Emmanuel Macron: Nationalism is Treason -- "Except for Palestinian nationalism, of course, and Pan-Arab nationalism. Those are still okay. Oh, and Iranian nationalism."
"And Turkish nationalism, don't forget that. But a burkah ban in France being attacked by the international bodies -- that's just injustice. But, really, what do I care. No more burkah ban!"
The next time Paris gets hit by another terrorist attack at the hands of those ol so adorable Jihadist migrants..President Trump should tweet out “Ain’t that a shame..enjoy your open borders”
Patriotism is the exact opposite of nationalism. Nationalism is a betrayal of patriotism
Stupid is as stupid does. Never have I read a more stupid statement.

Indeed. I’m not even sure Occasional-Kotex could come up with something this stupid.
Vichy France
Macron is such an idiot! I hope we never again volunteer to save stupid French asses, Like we did in WWI and WWII!
When he was inaugurated they played the EU anthem, not the French anthem
WTH is wrong with people who are not proud of their country?
Almost Every French village has a memorial to its brave people who died in the Resistance
WTH is wrong with a pinhead who takes political swipes at his country’s greatest ally during a war remembrance?
Macron’s not the quickest squirrel in the tree is he...
Macron’s not the quickest squirrel in the tree is he...
But CNN said that he didn’t show up and hates our military? Guess they lied...
Macron reminds me of the old song “Smiling Faces”...beware of the pat on the back, it just might hold you back.
