"The French president Emmanuel Macron borrowed some lines from Hugh Grant about
bullies at the World Economic Forum in Davos. His target was Donald Trump, who
had leaked a conciliatory text message from Macron who, evidently, was trying
to get the US president to the table to shore up the rapidly disintegrating
global order.
In the love-it-or-hate-it Christmas film
Love Actually, Grant – playing the
foppish British prime minister of the day – confronts the US president, saying:
“A friend who bullies us is no longer a friend, and since bullies only respond
to strength, from now onward, I will be prepared to be much stronger.”
We are now in an era where truth is stranger than fiction, if you can find the
truth at all."
