I suppose ITSD is at least in part contesting how direct that relationship actually is.But the tweets are a response to the speech and its contents, right?
French
Btw: I will have to insist on an answer here.
I'm struggling to make it through the thing.something, I’m not entirely sure, I don’t care to listen to the speech.
I'd rather he'd made use of a translator.

Here's a tl;dr, which you may find accommodating:
He attended a state dinner at the white house and didn't punch Trump in the face. I consider that a remarkable accomplishment since I for one couldn't possibly pull it off.
"Remarkable" is the word.
"Cringe" also.
Macron got praise 'cause he was the most mature person to step foot in Washington since Obama left.
I have compiled the following list.
I sorted this.
Rank order may be argued about.
In 2006 Macron was a low level administrator who had graduated l'ENA in '04.
Around that time Trudeau served as bimbo-ish decoration for various "advocacy" as dynasty brats usually do. Wikipedia informs me that in 2006 he was particularly involved in "something something Darfur".
In 2006 Trump built that golf course in Scotland and - presumably - busied himself otherwise in being a reality TV personality and beauty contest entrepeneur.
In 2006 Turnbull was a member of the AHR, having been first elected two years earlier.
In 2006 May was an MP and Shadow Secretary for Culture, Media and Sport and Shadow Leader of the House of Commons.
In 2006 Xi was provincial party leader in Zhejiang province, purging the place of "corrupt officials" and such.
In 2006 Putin, Abe and Merkel were President of the Russian Federation, Prime Minister of the State of Japan and Chancellorette of the Federal Republic, respectively.
(Putin doesn't meet the condition you set (neither does Xi) iirc, but the other two do).
I'm not sure if "mature" was the ideal term there.
If that is your view, you have to follow the Ontario Premiership campaign.The sad irony is that Macron and Trudeau are part of the trend. France and Canada have elected charismatic, socially left, economically center-right leaders. More or less their Obamas.
We know what comes after Obama.
There's still hope, though. Maybe France's Bernie won't get screwed over.
It's a gold mine of entertainment value.
