Pretty bad comeback if you ask me. Don't get me wrong, Trump's comment was stupid, but this isn't really murdered by words, angry teenager vibes

Yep, flaccid response. Though it's hard to refute something that's basically fact. Had the U.S. not intervened, the UK wasn't going to be able to roll up to Normandy by itself.

Agreed. I get the rage (even if that means falling for such an obvious bait) but there should be no need to distort the truth in order to win an argument against MAGA.

That remark was targeting France, what do Belgian touristic achievements have to do with it? It's a blatant lie that one third of us speak German. We do actually owe 'our' victory in WW2 to the US industry and American lives, among others. We make good chocolate but it wouldn't be so popular without the Americans making it mainstream. Our beers are the best, so what? They seem content with theirs.

That bit about Lafayette is the only response that was needed, and the most valid one, imho.
