Trump Mocked Macron's Appearance at Davos

Donald Trump criticized Emmanuel Macron's appearance at the World Economic Forum in Davos, where he appeared wearing sunglasses. Trump mockingly commented, asking, “What the hell happened?” Macron's use of sunglasses raised questions, as it is rumored he has a broken blood vessel in his eye. Macron's office confirmed that the glasses were worn to protect his eyes due to the ruptured vessel. Macron had appeared with a red eye at a military event the previous week, but had assured that the condition was “completely benign” and “completely insignificant.” However, Trump chose to comment on his appearance in an ironic way. Trump's comment sparked reactions, as many considered it disrespectful and unacceptable, given Macron's health condition.
