President Donald Trump on Sunday congratulated Emmanuel Macron on his victory in the French presidential election.
“I look very much forward to working with him,” Trump tweeted.
Congratulations to Emmanuel Macron on his big win today as the next President of France. I look very much forward to working with him!

White House press secretary Sean Spicer also released a statement congratulating Macron on his win.
“We congratulate President-elect Macron and the people of France on their successful presidential election,” the statement read. “We look forward to working with the new President and continuing our close cooperation with the French government.”
Trump declined to explicitly endorse a candidate in the French election, as U.S. presidents typically refrain from doing so, but said in an April interview with the Associated Press that far-right candidate Marine Le Pen was “the strongest on borders.”
“Whoever is the toughest on radical Islamic terrorism, and whoever is the toughest at the borders, will do well in the election,” he said, but claimed his comments were not an endorsement, and “no different” than the predictions of an average observer.
Never mind all the “edging” Marine did with HO during her praise sessions of Him at Trump Tower.
HO sees Macron’s shape shifting as a form of grifting just like His
Five bucks says Trump didn’t actually write that tweet. Wonder who did?
Our so-called President undoubtedly called Macron to tell him about his huge and unprecedented landslide Electoral College victory that no one could have predicted.
He also probably mentioned the French elections.
Trump, on the golf course: I saw it coming weeks ago, boys. I knew Macron would smoke that bitch. Of course France is a small country, so his win is tiny compared to mine. Nobody will ever have a win as big as mine - some people say Modi’s was bigger, but those Indians use enhancers. Now watch this drive.
I hope Macron replies diplomatically to the effect that the same people who hacked the DNC and the US Presidential elections, and who are Trump’s collaborators, attempted to do the same to him during the French pre-election campaign moratorium.
I also hope Macron points out to Trump that he (Macron) got 65% of the popular vote and that Trump didnt, and that Trump only won because of the Electoral College. And all the former KGB agents running Russia.
