Macron's sunglasses turn heads at Davos
Beyond discussion of Donald Trump's Greenland threats, Emmanuel Macron's fashion choices drew the most attention on the first headline day of the World Economic Forum in Davos yesterday.
The Elysee Palace said that he was wearing aviator sunglasses due to a ruptured blood vessel in his eye.
The French President said last week the condition was "completely harmless" when he appeared with a puffy red eye for a speech at a military base.
"Simply see an unintentional reference to the 'Eye of the Tiger' ... For those who catch the reference, it is a sign of determination," he joked.
Earlier that day, he had also donned the sunglasses for a troop inspection.
The episode was reminiscent of Germany's former chancellor, Olaf Scholz, who once wore an eye patch while in office due to a jogging injury.

So if Russia is not the enemy but only perceived as one…why does Trump need Greenland for security from Russia, and china? Huh. I hate our state of affairs right now.

Trump has betrayed the country. Congress needs to start treating him accordingly.

But you need Greenland cause of China/Russia threats. He's the dumbest person on the planet.
