Donald Trump mocked French President Emmanuel Macron by imitating his accent as he recounted a phone call on tax negotiations during his presidency.

According to Mr Trump, he threatened Mr Macron to put a 100 per cent tariff on wines and champagne imported from France to the US if the French did not remove the 25 per cent tax they were planning to slap on US companies operating in Mexico.

Mr Trump also mimicked US President Joe Biden, who he is likely to face in a general election rematch in November.

Trump is in Iowa to curry support ahead of the state's Republican caucus on Jan 15, which is the first contest of the Republican presidential nominating contest.

    There are only two kind of people who can publicly mock world leaders in front of a giant crowd : comedians, and Donald Trump.

    I’d pay good money to see Trump do a one hour stand up special. He’s hilarious.

    These trash talk levels are straight from Wrestling promos in the 90s

    Even Trump stopped making fun of Biden, it's just cruel at this point.
  • @timgosling6189
    The idea of France taxing US companies operating in Mexico indicates an interesting level of understanding.
  • @thevaccinator666
    His delivery is exactly like an old school stand up comedian. I wonder if he does it deliberately.
  • @JoCE2305
    As a Franco-American, I was expecting an offensive and ridiculous French accent. I'm still waiting...
  • @DerdOn0ner
    Still waiting for the “heavy French accent”
  • @JakeNaar09
    That was hardly an offensive accent. He barely even put on an accent
