US President Donald Trump praised the Czech Minister of Foreign Affairs and the leader of the anti-green and Eurosceptic Motorists for Themselves party Petr Macinka following Macinka’s participation at a debate at the Munich Security Conference where he provoked clashes with Hillary Clinton and his Polish counterpart Radek Sikorksi.

“Great job in your Debate against Hillary Clinton on various subjects, including her ridiculous views on Gender. Say hello to everybody in your wonderful Country! President DJT,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social online platform.  

At the debate on February 14, Macinka defended Trump policies in the US, saying that “I think what Trump is doing in America is a reaction that in some political areas it went too far, too far from regular people, too far from reality,” as reported by the Czech Press Agency (CTK) and other media.

 “I disagree with gender revolution, with climate alarmism,” Macinka stated, pushing the gender issues on the agenda of the security conference, to which Clinton replied “what gender, that women have their rights?”

During the debate at a panel, which also included Bulgarian political scientist Ivan Krastev and Hungarian political scientist Gladden Pappin, Clinton slammed the Trump administration for “pushing Ukraine into a capitulation to Putin,” which she described as “shameful”.

“I think that the efforts of Trump and Putin to benefit from the suffering and death of Ukrainians is a historical mistake,” Clinton also stated.

Macinka also criticised the European Parliament at the debate suggesting that national parliaments are supposed to have more democratic legitimacy, which prompted Macinka’s Polish counterpart Radek Sikorski to point out that both EU and national parliaments emerge from democratic elections held in the EU member states.

Macinka also travelled as a Czech observer to the first meeting of Trump’s Board of Peace in Washington D.C. where he said he had met with leaders of US administration and Trump had asked him whether he saw his Truth Social post.

“Surprisingly everyone, the American President, as well as the American Vice President and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, saw a record of my debate with Hillary Clinton at the Munich conference,” Macinka was quoted as saying by online news outlet Seznam Zprávy.
