Before Donald Trump assumed office, you remember the global liberal freak out once Trump became president

American would supposedly be isolated. We would lose our world leadership position. But as we saw

at the recent Davos economic summit, the opposite happened to the chagrin of the media President

Trump has treated like a rock star. Well, this week in France, something else poked holes in the

drive buys never ending anti-Trump campaign. The French minister of the interior presented details

of President Emmanuel Macron's new immigration plan. And they sound familiar. Macron wants to

put strict limits on the number of asylum seekers who can get into France. And he wants law

enforcement to speed up deportations. He's also getting tough on illegal immigrants who commit crimes

like using stolen identity papers to avoid deportation. The minister of the interior explained

that Macron's immigration plan works on two guiding principles. France must welcome refugees,

but it cannot welcome all economic migrants. The drive by media here and abroad are a gas.

They're accusing Macron of being cruel to immigrants. They say that he's risking his image

as a humane globalist. But French voters overwhelmingly approve. So it turns out that President Trump

is not despised overseas. He's being copied by the French no less. Is global warming exit next?
