Macron congratulates Trump on election win but faces social media backlash
French President Emmanuel Macron congratulated Donald Trump on his apparent victory in the 2024 U.S. Presidential elections. He was among the first world leaders to extend his support via social media, expressing a desire to collaborate.
Macron's message included the phrase "with your convictions and mine," which drew attention due to its ironic implications related to Trump's legal issues. Social media users quickly highlighted this wording, leading to humorous reactions online.
Other global leaders, including British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, also congratulated Trump, marking a wave of international responses to his election.
