WASHINGTON (AP) — Jill Biden departed Tuesday on her final solo foreign trip as first lady, a six-day, four-country jaunt through Italy, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar that wraps with her and President-elect Donald Trump joining other dignitaries in Paris to celebrate the reopening of Notre Dame Cathedral.

Biden will focus throughout the trip on the issues she has championed as first lady, including support for military families, education, and research into cancer and women’s health, and will also highlight U.S. partnerships in these areas with the countries hosting her, according to her office.

She is the first Italian American to become first lady and has planned a side trip to her ancestral hometown of Gesso, the tiny Sicilian village where her father’s family hailed from.

Paris is the final stop to help celebrate the reopening of Notre Dame. The cathedral was painstakingly reconstructed after fire nearly destroyed it five years ago.

[pazzyanne]

21. He probable thinks it's a football game. nt

[Volaris]

25. I agree he will show up and say nice things about the fire:

'It was an amazing fire, the bigliest evar nobody's ever seen anything like it.'

[sdfernando]

2. Maybe, if we are lucky

the orange abomination will be struck dead in the Cathedral!

[TomSlick]

16. May it please almighty God.

[tanyev]

3. Oh lord, how many ways will he embarrass us at Notre Dame?

I wish it were just Jill.

[Initech]

6. Days without him being a national embarrassment: 0

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. A loud, stinky fart.

[Meowmee]

4. It's hard to believe it was only 5 years ago.

I thought it was longer. Why is orange psycho going?

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yes. I thought the US had only one president at a time.

Trump acts like he is the president.

[pazzyanne]

22. Disgusting isn't it! nt

[bronxiteforever]

5. "Hannibal Lector played for the great & powerful

Football team of the fightin Irish of Notre Dame.”

You know he wants to say this.

8. Dear President Biden:

Please pardon your wife, Dr Jill Biden, so she can, with impunity, kick Donnie Drumph in the balls at Notre Dame. She will be doing it for all of us.

Dear Dr Jill Biden:

Please start practicing now.

[wcmagumba]

9. Feel bad for her but she will take it all in stride and represent our country, unlike the orange goblin....

Why the heck he is going to this as he has zero interest or activities involving religion. I would consider him to be more of an antichrist excepting he doesn't have the brains for that...it's been suggested in an earlier post that lightning might strike...please, please, please, please, please...

[PortTack]

10. Yea..they'll have to wheel him around in a wheelchair...he can't walk that far...

[Diamond_Dog]

27. He will be driven down the center aisle in a golf cart gnawing on a chicken leg.

[COL Mustard]

11. I hope she doesn't get too close to him.

I would hate to think of the collateral damage that would result from Karma making the roof fall in on him. Lots of people could get hurt!

[Deuxcents]

12. I can't believe France is allowing a convicted felon in their country much less to honor Notre Dame

They should use their lawful option and refuse his visit

[FakeNoose]

20. It's a slap in the face to Joe Biden who is a devout Catholic

I find this very hard to believe that France would prefer Chump over Biden.

[Deuxcents]

23. I think Biden is in Africa for conferences

Perfect for TSF to insert himself into the celebration

[TheProle]

24. He is going at Macron's invitation.

CNN —

There’ll be a strong sense of déjà vu when French President Emmanuel Macron lays the flattery on thick for Donald Trump in Paris this weekend.

Few foreign leaders did more to woo Trump when he was the 45th president. In fact, Macron treated him with such deference at a Bastille Day parade on the Champs-Élysées that Trump came home wanting a military parade of his own — on July Fourth.

As Trump prepares to become the 47th president, Macron has surpassed himself, inviting Trump to attend the year’s most vaunted opening — the unveiling of the newly restored Notre Dame Cathedral five years after a savage fire.

Putting Trump at the center of the star-studded VIP event, which will mark his big return to the global stage, says everything about the power fast flowing back to the president-elect six weeks before he begins his second term.

14. The Sickfuck of Notre Dame

[Dem4life1234]

15. I never knew Jill was Italian American!

That's pretty cool.

And orange lard ass isn't the acting president. He is so annoying.

[paleotn]

17. If she shoots him, the French might give her a medal.

Bring back the Croix de Guerre even. One could argue she'd be fighting Axis forces after all.

[GreenWave]

18. He will probably get lost at South Bend, Indiana!

[FakeNoose]

19. Oh my God! She has to go to Notre Dame Cathedral with Chump?

[Diamond_Dog]

26. Maybe it will rain so he can back out at the last minute.

[DET]

28. I find it hard to believe...

…that Macron invited him to such a momentous occasion, before he’s even in power. I bet he invited himself, and Macron couldn’t refuse. You just know that he’s going to elbow his way through the crowd, have an ‘accident’ in the pews, and otherwise desecrate that beautiful cathedral. His presence feels sacrilegious.

[badhair77]

29. I wonder if trump will kick up the extra money

to get Melania to accompany him. Or maybe Elon will be his plus one. Repulsive all around.
