Emmanuel Macron, "he's a good guy": Donald Trump tells about his stay in France at the "New York Times"
A week after his visit to France for the July 14 parade, the US president told reporters what he thought.
Tasty. Three New York Times reporters spoke with Donald Trump on Wednesday July 19 in his Oval Office at the White House. A lot of things have been discussed. From the United States of course. But also of his visit to France on the occasion of the July 14 military parade. Franceinfo summarizes the sequences to remember.
What he thought of Emmanuel Macron
As we knew, Donald Trump is absolutely delighted with his coming to Paris. When the New York Times reporter asks him what he thinks of Emmanuel Macron, he replies: "He's a good guy. Smart. Strong. He likes to hold hands." And adds: "I think he is going to be an incredible president of France."
Moreover, the French Head of State was not stingy with compliments to his counterpart either. At the time of the invitation, Emmanuel Macron would have assured him: "They love you in France." Which amused some journalists.
What he thought of the July 14 parade
Here too, Donald Trump is dithyrambic. “It was one of the most beautiful parades I have ever seen,” “there must have been 200 planes above our heads”, “maybe 100,000 uniforms, divisions, different groups.” Before clarifying: "Normally you have the planes and it's good, like during the Super Bowl parade. And everyone goes crazy, and voila." In Paris, "it was for two hours", "you look at the Arc [de Triomphe]", "it was an incredible thing".

He liked it so much that he now has a project: "We should do one on Pennsylvania Avenue", a famous thoroughfare in Washington that connects the White House to the Capitol ...
What he thought of dinner at the Eiffel Tower
Only good. In all modesty, Donald Trump explains that the Eiffel Tower "looked like it had never had a greater celebration in the history of the Eiffel Tower. I mean, there were thousands and thousands of people, because they heard we had dinner. "
