“Absolutely not. My advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind them that it’s only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a press briefing Monday, likely referencing an American-French allyship during World War II that snuffed out Nazi Germany. “They should be grateful.”
This is how we treat our allies now? What timeline are we in?
And if the French hadn't helped the US in the revolutionary war, they'd all be speaking English and be under a despotic monarch now.
Oh wait...
We know damn well she would have sided with the Nazi, had she lived during WWII.
She demands gratefulness for something she would have never endorsed in the first place.
French people can speak german if they like and what is very interesting is that France is a very close ally to Germany but no longer the USA.
If she thinks we are not grateful enough, perhaps she could visit Normandy. Pay her respect in front of the tombs of the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the name of freedom. The very same thing the administration she works for is taking away from Americans.
She’s a 27 year old catholic school moron who failed to get elected in her home state, responded by marrying a rich 60 y/o and then decided that talking for Trump was more important than raising her new born after Trump ear got blood on it.
I guarantee she never learned shit about actual history and since her first job was for Fox News I suspect it’s impossible for her to learn now.
I love his these utter dips are reminding France that we fought the Nazis, while acting like Nazis and being saluted like Nazis.
Moreover they forget they own a good part of their independence to France
So did Trump reply to a onion article again?
One French MP said the US should return the statue of liberty, probably more to make a rhetorical point instead of an actual demand.
Did they even say ',thank you'?!?!
Concept of a thank you
Concepts of a plan for a thank you
You joke, but that's basically the White House official response.

Hey, France, from an American:
Insist on it. Every. Single. Meeting. Insist. Return it. Give it back. Fuck you, that’s not what it’s for. Put the screws in.
Our idiot fucking government wants transactional and splashy. Oblige them.
Some should tell that dumbass that was sarcasm to make a POINT. Besides, Donald would rather melt down the statue into Trump coins, or replace it with a gold plated statue of himself.
Don't give them any ideas
