Former president Donald Trump mocked French president Emmanuel Macron in a rare impression, recounting a tense exchange over tariffs. Trump said Macron objected, but he insisted the United States could and would act unilaterally.

Calling himself the forty-seventh president, Trump framed the moment as strength on trade, saying leaders must respect American leverage. The remarks underline his hardline tariff stance and combative approach to allies during ongoing campaign events nationwide.

00:00Because I'm always right about, Trump is right about everything, right?
00:03I said, the hat, Trump is right about, I have been right about everything,
00:07got to keep it going. Is there wood up here? Hold it.
00:10Ah, I always like to, just in case, Trump was right about everything.
00:16And I said, so you're going to do it, Emmanuel? No, I'm not.
00:20I said, okay, here's the story, Emmanuel.
00:23If on Monday you haven't agreed to every single thing that we want,
00:26I'm putting a 25% tariff on everything coming out of France,
00:32including your wines, your champagnes, and everything else.
00:36No, no, no, no, you cannot do that.
00:38I said, I can do that, and I will do that.
00:42Even for national security, I'll do that, but this is for medical security.
00:47And 100%.
00:49Now, let me explain.
00:50The tariff I'm imposing on you is 42 times more expensive
00:56than what I'm asking for you in return.
00:58So you can either have a 25% tariff added on to you,
01:03like I did with China on fentanyl.
01:05I put a 20% penalty tax on China, and it's drying up,
01:10because the tax is far more than they make with fentanyl.
01:13But with the other nations, I said, you're going to do it.
01:18And you know what he said?
01:20You can't do that to me.
01:22I said, yes, I can.
01:23Win the midterms, because if we don't win the midterms,
01:27it's just going to be, I mean, they'll find a reason to impeach me.
01:33I'll get impeached.
01:34We don't impeach them, you know why?
01:36Because they're meaner than we are.
01:39We should have impeached Joe Biden for 100 different things.
01:41They are mean and smart.
01:47But fortunately for you, they have horrible policy.
01:51The big problem with it, I'm the king,
01:53I have sold more Boeings than any human being on earth.
01:56They gave me an award, Salesman of the Year.
01:58I said, what about Salesman in the history of Boeing?
02:01I've sold more Boeing planes than any man in history by far,
02:06probably over 1,000.
02:07Over 1,000 planes.
02:09I said, that's the good news.
02:10But why should they wait three, four years to get a plane?
02:12They should get them immediately.
02:14The F-30 for the United States proved once again that we have the most powerful,
02:19most lethal, most sophisticated, and most fearsome.
02:23It's a fearsome military on planet Earth, and it's not even close.
02:27You know, I've been saying it for a long time.
02:29Nobody can take us.
02:30Nobody.
02:30We don't want to have a discussion, but you read all and you see everything else.
02:35Nobody could have done that.
02:36Nobody has our weapons.
02:38Nobody has the quality of our weapons.
02:40The problem is we don't produce them fast enough.
02:42We're going to start producing them much faster.
02:44We're going to be very tough on the companies.
02:46We have the best weapons in the world, but it takes too long to get them, including allies.
02:50When allies want to buy them, they have to wait four years for a plane, five years for a helicopter.
02:54We're not letting that happen anymore.
02:57We're telling our defense contractors, you're going to start building faster.
