French President Emmanuel Macron appeared to take a swipe at President Trump’s Twitter habits, saying in a recent interview that tweeting is “not compatible” with the responsibilities of being president.

In an interview with Time magazine published Thursday, Macron said that while he’s heard much about Trump’s infamous tweets, he does not tweet very much himself.

“It’s not compatible with the kind of distance you need to govern and to preside,” Macron said. “To be president, you need some distance from events, from the permanent flows of news and reactions.”

Trump has used his personal Twitter throughout his campaign and presidency to respond to news reports, promote his policies and share his unfiltered thoughts on current events.

1. President Macron is a mature adult leader

Trump, not so much.

2. Indeed, he is correct. I want the days where the president does TV and radio broadcasts to

American ppl when there is critical info we need. The orange ass in the oval office can't do that because he can't string two logically cogent sentences together. Incompetence disgusts me.

3. How a grown up views the world.

Too bad we don't have one in charge.

4. I agree with Macron very much..

And would like to add that EVERYTHING the orange twittler does, is “not compatible” with the responsibilities of being president.

I hope that I survive to see the day when he is gone!

It offends every cell in my body to know that he is manifest on this planet at all.

5. +1000

His mind should be focused on bigger things than what film star has insulted him or what football players are protesting. He's such an immature moron.

6. The Moron has brought his classless and tacky

"personality" to the Oval Office.

7. I could care less about the medium

It's more about how you conduct yourself...
