Trump to attend Notre-Dame reopening in first foreign trip since election

Great news, Trump has a keen eye for architectural beauty after all!

He'll probably make an offer to buy the gargoyles, to use as law ornaments at Mar-a-Lardo.

Sorry, lawn ornaments.

Let's hope Trump can also get Macron to see the reality in Ukraine, their many Catholics getting slaughtered for no good reason and all their churches being destroyed.

I agree.

Trump is taking a suitcase of his Bibles for sale.

Why is he there? I thought he's too busy trying to as he said "cleanse" America?

I would think the French would have more respect for the cathedral than that.

Trump is jumping at the chance to muscle back into the international limelight while building his "christian" cred with his MAGA gullibles. The devil must be chuckling.

Yet somehow foreign leaders are fumbling over themselves to get a sit down with the Don.

someone named Ken Starmer;

"Hes got me waitin' in the LOBBY!"

I am no fan of elitist liberal President Emmanuel Macron, never the less its a masterclass in Macron brand of diplomacy reminiscent of clever smart politicking of former President of France Jacques Chirac.

Emmanuel Macron is currently boxed into a corner, politically hanging by his finger nails.

Donald Trump chest puffing on a global centre stage, in the background Joe Biden foolish cynical sweeping pardon of the reckless Hunter, Macron has captured the moment, Trump first foreign visit, Marcon will politically milk this for all its worth.

Kudos to him.

as in Canada and the UK, President Trump enjoys a higher approval rating from Canadians, Brit and French citizens than Trudeau, Starmer and Macron.

Would be a good business idea.

Who is more popular in the UK Starmer or Trump?

Quote

According to YouGov:

Trump is disliked by 57% and liked by 27%

Starmer is disliked by 53% and liked by 26%

So I guess he's more popular if you ignore the larger number of people who don't like him.

Compare that to Obama, who's liked by 70% and disliked by 12%. We always like Democratic presidents more than Republican ones - probably because the Republicans are a bunch of insane evangelical weirdos.

Oh my, my...

Indeed dutch, Donald Trump/Notre-Dame.

Not so long ago, Donald Trump could have been invited to an extended visit in Rikers Island

I imagine the French public will give him a typically gallic welcome.

Trump will have a security detail. Already two assassination attempts on his life. Security nightmare.

In reply to bass4funl, the same is true of Starmer.

Trump has historical high favorability, Biden the opposite, people globally looking for new a direction, hope and solutions to long-standing problems, especially those suffering greatly in the Ukraine and Mid East.

President-elect Donald Trump’s favorability rating jumped six points and hit a post-election high, while outgoing President Biden’s figures sank to a four-year low, according to a new poll.

Trump, 78, notched a 54% approval rating, one of his all-time highest, compared to about 46% who disapprove of him, an Emerson College poll found. Biden, 82, scored a 36% approval to 52% disapprove rating, lowest Emerson has recorded in four years.
