During a campaign rally in Iowa, Donald Trump humorously recounted a phone conversation with former French President Emmanuel Macron, playfully mimicking Macron’s accent. Trump discussed his 2020 threat to impose a 100% tariff on French products in response to a proposed digital tax on US companies. Claiming quick success, he contrasted his approach with prior team efforts. At another rally, Trump asserted that being president provides the ability to accomplish tasks swiftly, stating, “You can do a lot of things if you’re president, if you know… how to do it.”
