He added that the comments did not merit a response. He declined to engage further on the subject.
What Trump said and when
On Wednesday, the U.S. president again commented on Macron’s marriage. He claimed Macron was mistreated by his wife.
Trump also referred to a recent physical altercation, saying Macron was still recovering from a blow to the jaw.
Those remarks came hours before Trump’s address to the American nation.

The comments alluded to an event in May 2025. During a tour in Southeast Asia, Brigitte Macron struck the French president in the face.
