Steve Hilton on Macron Shove Video and EU Trade Practices

Macron's Shove Video

• 💡 Steve Hilton initially believed the video of French President Emmanuel Macron being shoved by his wife was fake due to its unbelievable nature.
• 📌 The incident, first seen on X and later confirmed by mainstream media, highlights Macron's declining popularity in his second term.
• 🎭 Hilton suggests Macron's wife's action might represent a sentiment shared by many in France, diminishing Macron's self-proclaimed image as an "absolute monarch-like figure."

EU Trade Practices and Trump's Strategy

• 🎯 The discussion shifts to European Union trade practices, with Hilton asserting they have been massively unfair to America.
• ⚡ Hilton views the EU's readiness to negotiate a deal and Ursula Von der Leyen's call to President Trump as a vindication of Trump's strategy to be taken seriously.
• 📈 He argues that Trump's consistent follow-through on his statements has led the EU to back down on proposed tariffs, potentially leading to a more open market across the Atlantic.
• 🇪🇺 Hilton criticizes the EU's protectionist policies, citing the example of German cars in America versus the lack of American cars in Europe and French wine industry's bureaucratic hurdles.
• 🗣️ He commends President Trump for calling out these unfair practices, contrasting him with previous presidents who, according to Hilton, went along with them.
