How not to treat guests in your country

https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/video-frances-emmanuel-macron-stopped-in-new-york-to-make-way-for-donald-trumps-motorcade-9329295

French President Emmanuel Macron and his entourage had to wait as the police cleared the New York streets for US President Donald Trump's convoy on Monday. The delay occurred in Manhattan shortly after Macron delivered a speech at the 80th United Nations General Assembly, where he formally announced France's recognition of the State of Palestine.

A video circulating on social media shows Macron and his team interacting with a police officer. "I'm sorry, Mr President, I'm so sorry. It's just that everything is frozen right now. There is a motorcade coming," an officer told the French President.

Macron was then seen calling Trump during the hold-up. He joked, "Guess what, I'm waiting in the street because everything is frozen for you."

Apparently manners were not something taught in either his home or any school he went to. In east Tennessee we had two sayings for people like him. One was "He ain't had no home training," which is obvious. The other is, "He's got above his raisin'," which I'll leave to y'all to figure out.
