In an interview with the New York Times, Trump was talking about meeting Macron, and suddenly unleashed his massive presidential opinion on 19th century history:
This place has more people who know 19th century world history than anywhere else I've been. What on earth was he thinking about? He implies Napoleon nipped off for a bit of sex with ... someone ... and thus failed to press his advantage in Russia. WTF? Did anything remotely like this happen, or is this Trump's thoughts just naturally turning to a bit of sex on the side, seeing as his third wife is now revolted by him?
TRUMP: Well, Napoleon finished a little bit bad. But I asked that. So I asked the president, so what about Napoleon? He said: “No, no, no. What he did was incredible. He designed Paris.” [garbled] The street grid, the way they work, you know, the spokes. He did so many things even beyond. And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death. How many times has Russia been saved by the weather? [garbled]
[crosstalk/unintelligible]
TRUMP: Same thing happened to Hitler. Not for that reason, though. Hitler wanted to consolidate. He was all set to walk in. But he wanted to consolidate, and it went and dropped to 35 degrees below zero, and that was the end of that army.
[crosstalk]
But the Russians have great fighters in the cold. They use the cold to their advantage. I mean, they’ve won five wars where the armies that went against them froze to death. [crosstalk] It’s pretty amazing.
So, we’re having a good time. The economy is doing great.
