Following Donald Trump’s press conference this week with French president Emmanuel Macron, “The Daily Show” host Desi Lydic is pretty sure she’s found Trump’s true kryptonite: foreign accents.
To kick off the press conference, Trump immediately noted that French is “the most beautiful language,” while forcefully placing his hand on Macron’s knee and admitting he really had no idea what Macron was saying.
“Yeah, Trump just loves a French accent, probably because it’s the native tongue of his hero, Pepé Le Pew,” Lydic joked. “Something about that pervert skunk that Trump finds so relatable.”
As the press conference went on, Trump tried to falsely claim that Europe was loaning money to Ukraine instead of just providing funding outright, which Macron quickly corrected Trump about in front of everyone.
That stunned Lydic the most, especially considering Trump didn’t suddenly get angry and push back, as he typically does when he gets corrected publicly.
“Look at him! Look at that smile! The guy is smitten,” Lydic marveled. “Usually, if someone confronts him about being wrong, he takes away their security detail, but he’s letting Macron do whatever he wants. I think a sexy accent is his kryptonite! I assumed it was vegetables!”
