Macron says Europe needs to protect itself from Russian invasion. #DonaldTrump (for some reason) took that to mean Macron wants Europe to arm itself in defense against the USA.
Read that again: Donald Trump is either equating or confusing the USA and Russia.
In #TrumpNation the president doesn't know the difference between Russia and the United States of America.
Trump's Tuesday morning tweet was his second over the past five days that accused Macron of suggesting European nations need more robust militaries to protect themselves from the U.S., a mischaracterization of what the French president actually said. Macron, in an interview with Europe 1, suggested that Europe needs to better position itself militarily against an increasingly aggressive Russia.
