‌Macron said Trump's remarks about his marriage were "neither elegant nor up to standard". ‌Trump made the comments on Wednesday during a private lunch in Washington, attended by faith leaders and other government figures. ‌Attempting a French accent, Trump said Macron’s wife, Brigitte, "treats him extremely badly". The French president denied any "domestic dispute" with his wife, saying at the time that they were "joking as we often do". Meanwhile, the conservative French daily newspaper Le Figaro wrote: "Another controversial outburst from Donald Trump."
