I think it was South Korea that first figured out how to get this guy to melt in your hands, and China and France paid attention.
After posing in front of Versailles' golden doors, Trump enjoyed a private tour of the chateau's glittering interior. And in a surprise move over a dinner of lobster, caviar and vanilla ice cream, he signed a memorandum on ending the war in Iran at a venue steeped in historical symbolism.
Yeah when I saw jokes about the treaty of Versailles on my TL I thought "weird the principals wouldn't pick up on that" but once I realized Trump was one of them it made absolute sense. Versailles (and Louis XIV who made it) is basically the OG for his aesthetic tastes.
It always kind of sucks seeing the worst person on earth get to experience things everyone else can only dream of and have zero appreciation
Like feeding a toddler before a Doctor's appointment.
Hes a magpie. Hes literally a bird.
Gd, Macron is gooood.
But it's gold leaf
"Steeped in historical symbolism" ANYWAYS moving right along,
would hate to be the ballroom designer/architect this morning - so many changes coming!
Bonus for him if there’s a Prince/King he can boast about meeting and a good looking reporter (either sex) he can blearily rhapsodise about. At this stage we’re getting to the point where he would be willing to sign over the States if someone jangles some keys in front of his face.
Waa a railway carriage involved?
“Not a complicated guy” So you’re saying he’s...(checks Dictionary of American Regional English)….simple?
He's a simple man, he just wants a big piece of cake with two scoops of ice cream, and maybe a small child to rape for dessert
they're calling it Ballroomogging
He loves Versailles. It reminds him of Florida!
Trump after seeing Versailles
About once a week I think about how the Swiss got out of their proposed tariffs last year: they gave Trump a gold bar and a fancy watch. Every other chump nation was fretting and negotiating and paying multimillion dollar bribes and they just gave him like $20K of shinny.
He just wants to look at pretty things and be treated to dinner and a show and ice cream.
we love a beautiful place and a very nice man
He showed great restraint by not insisting on chocolate ice cream with his caviar
a monkey
"ItS dIpLoMaCy"
so many people still think he's playing 4D chess. nah, man. what you see is what you get.
Like a goddamned fiddle.
I have a theory about that first quote.
This guy has the negotiating acumen of a three year old. Half the time he throws a tantrum and tries to hold his breath until he gets what he wants, and the other half of the time he gets distracted by a shiny rock and folds immediately.
This is so demented
