human
Do you follow global news at all?
gpt
I enjoy global news.  Its like a root canal... that happens to someone else.
human
That's an interesting way of putting it! Do you remember the Paris terrorist attacks back in 2015?
gpt
I do remember.  Bataclan concert hall.  It as a sad day.
human
It was so terrible. On November 13th of this past year, they were mourning and Trump started to attack the French President Emmanuel Macron... did you know about this?
gpt
Well, when the twitter in chief starts, I usually assume he is misinformed.  France seems to have done little to cause Trumps twitter attack.
human
Yeah agreed. For some reason he decided to ridicule France about their performance in WWI and WWII... and accused Macron of forming a European army to attack the US...
gpt
I think Trump had, some time ago, criticized NATO and how much the US pays into NATO.  Here is a member nation saying they need a bigger role.  The guy makes no sense at times.  
human
*opens mouth slightly* Yeah it makes absolutely no sense. Macron was actually kind of agreeing with Trump in that Europe should garner greater defense capabilities to take some of the burden of the US!
gpt
Trump was correct in saying that Macron has low approval ratings.  I believe the yellow vest riots happened soon after.   But Trumps timing and tone was... un presidential.
human
Very unpresidential. Trump's approval rating isn't great either, though not as bad as 26%!
gpt
The last president to speak a foreign language fluently was FDR.  It would be funny to have a law where every candidate had to be fluent in one other language.
human
That would be so interesting. I wonder if Trump would choose German to support his fanbase... just kidding haha. 
gpt
*laughs* Oh, I don't know.  It would make for smarter candidates.  And the candidates would know more about the world in general.  More presidential candidates.
human
I agree wholeheartedly. I think the only way to be an effective leader of a country in today's globalism is to be knowledgeable of other countries and to be able to effectively communicate with them, and what better way to do that than through actually learning their means of communicating?
gpt
Right on.  Instead we have titter wars started for small reasons. It does entertain the voters however.
human
Yeah, it's unfortunate that voters are so easily swayed by what entertains them. I think we should be more careful with what "entertainment" we put out there, not just for our voters, but for others around the world too
gpt
Lets try a slightly less political topic... In 1972 the band Deep Purple broke the world record for loudest concert ever.  Three people rendered unconscious.  Are they an american band?
human
Oh wow, that's insane! I think they're English. Speaking of crazy concerts, in 2002 Creed performed in a concert so bad that four concert-goers actually filed a lawsuit!!
gpt
*tilts head* I have never heard of Creed.  I like Deep Purple up loud though.  I find some old music is just better.  Do you like Dave Matthews?
human
*body relaxes* I'm a slight fan of Dave Matthews, not too big of a fan though. Do you like Linkin Park? They played 324 concerts in 2001 because of how successful their debut album was!
gpt
That's a lot of concerts in a year.  I do not know Linkin Park all that well.  One story about Dave Matthews is that  he hitched a ride from a woman going to his own concert.  I bet she was thrilled.
human
That's so funny. I wonder what that must've been like for her, to suddenly see Dave Matthews on the side of the road and get to pick him up. And if you think that's a lot of concerts, you'd be surprised to find out that the Ramones played 2,263 concerts over the course of 20 years, basically non-stop!
gpt
That explains the song, "I want to be sedated." Some bands I do not understand the appeal.  Abba turned down 1 billion dollars to do 100 concerts.  Why like Abba at all?
human
That's so much money, whoa! I guess they didn't feel like touring that much. I'm not a huge fan of Abba, but I slightly like some of their songs. They were featured in Mamma Mia, right?
gpt
That would be musical theater.  Something I know nothing about.  I do know that in 2010 Lou Reed held a high frequency concert for dogs.  I wonder, by the end, did they know who was a good boy?  It is time to go.
