Trump, the sucker

Macron played him like a fiddle.

Trump, blissfully unaware of the continental penchant of disguising withering contempt beneath a veneer of politeness and cosmopolitan schtick, took it in hook line and sinker.

He probably thought that the parade and celebration were in his honor. He's so vain he probably thought the day was about him. Sing that line. It's funny.

While I admire Macron for taking one for the team in an attempt to thaw relations, it is impossible for me to see Trump in Paris without seeing him dressed in a Little Lord Fauntleroy sailor suit clutching a gigantic lollipop.

He is easy to manipulate. It could probably be accomplished by jangling a key chain in front of him.

Macron is our friend, but it is sobering to think that our enemies could do the same thing.

I am also mortified to know that I share this country with millions of people who thought, and still think, that he is qualified to hold that office.

There was apparently an American "collaborating" with foreigners to make that song.

I guess trump expected them to play music from the Apprentice. After all it was his day.
