Candace Owens, a conservative commentator known for her provocative statements, recently revealed an unexpected interaction with former President Donald Trump. In a video released on social media, Owens shared details of a phone call she received in February, where Trump personally urged her to stop her public commentary regarding Brigitte Macron, the French First Lady.
The call, originating from a Florida number, took Owens by surprise. "Anyways, this phone call is coming from Florida. Pick up the phone and lo and behold," she recounted, "It is President Donald J. Trump." According to Owens, Trump skipped the formalities and got straight to the point, expressing his concern for Mrs. Macron's wellbeing and the broader diplomatic implications.
Owens has been vocal about her belief that Brigitte Macron, who has been in the public eye since her husband's presidency began in 2017, was born male. These statements have been a part of Owens' commentary for years, despite being unfounded. The French First Lady recently made headlines in May after an incident during an airplane journey where she appeared to hit her husband, as reported by Resist the Mainstream.
During the call, Trump purportedly explained that the French President, Emmanuel Macron, had approached him with a request for Owens to cease her controversial discourse. Trump indicated that complying could potentially assist with diplomatic efforts, particularly in relation to ongoing tensions involving Ukraine, France, and Russia. "He told me if I would just drop this, that it would help things along," Owens explained.
The former President also shared his personal assessment of Mrs. Macron, stating, "She looked like a woman to me," based on his direct interactions with her. Despite Trump's reasons, Owens described her reluctance to adhere to the request. She recounted her response to the former President, challenging the premise of the conversation and maintaining her stance.
The video of Owens detailing the phone conversation has circulated on social media, with mixed reactions from the public. The incident showcases the intersection of political discourse, diplomacy, and the personal interventions of influential figures. As the story unfolds, the impact of such private conversations on public narratives and international relations continues to be a topic of discussion.
While Trump has not publicly commented on the matter, the private nature of the conversation and the subsequent public revelation by Owens underscore the complex dynamics at play. The situation raises questions about the responsibilities of public commentators, the influence of former leaders, and the potential consequences of perpetuating unverified claims.
