A “meet and greet” is a meeting. |
What family is greeting her here? I love the young man in his watermelon socks! |
With this jacket and Bryl Cream hairdo he looks like a grandpa from the 1970s. All he needs are some longer sideburns. |
I am a very casual dresser but I think if people are meeting you at the airport and not holding up a sign with your name on it, you are definitely in “not jeans” territory. |
He should have changed his wardrobe before he deplaned |
you know he fixed his hair and got his makeup freshened up. it would kill him to not wear that wrinkled tight blazer with jeans one time? |
I agree he should have changed before deplaning, but more concerning to me is that he consistently wears a Betsy Ross flag while representing our government. I mean, is there any situation in which that is not a dog whistle?

Don’t we need to talk about this pose? What kind of weirdness is that? |
To me it looks like she lengthened the bottom half of the photo, like to make her legs look longer. The proportions of the rail and her toes give the tell. |
"Jared. Hun, stop. Stop. Look at that rock. We need a photo here." "Oh, sure. I'll just stand next to you with my arms straight down." "Oh my gosh hun, no. Stop. Just me. Because look. There's a big rock and I want to look artistic. Tell Carla to take the kids away and you take the photo." "Carla! Keep the kids over there! I have to take Vanky's photo!" "Mkay. Like this. I'm going to stand behind the rock. Mkay. Now." <Click> "Lemme see." "Looks great!" "JarRED! Stop. That rock is right in front of me. You KNOW I wore these boots today and you just totally blocked them with this rock." "Sorry, Vanky..." "Ntsokay. Just stop. Mkay let me try in front of the rock. Mkay. Ready. Now." <Click> "Lemme see." "Looks great!" "JarRED! You know I wanted to take a photo by this rock. I literally cannot see the rock. Mkay maybe next to the rock. Mkay. Ready. Now." <Click> "Lemme see." "Looks great!" "Ugh. JarRED. It's just not working. I wanted to look artistic, you know? Like I'm explooooring. I'm so adventurous. I'm hiking the dessert in stiletto boots but still stop to admire the modern art, y'know? It's just not working. Call Carla. Let's go. I heard there's a chandelier by the restaurant. Carla has my new silver cut-out dress I'll change into. It'll match SOOOO good. I'll let you stand next to me with your arms down." "Aw, Vanky, I'm sorry. You look so great. Okay. I know you won't like this idea, but just think about it: what if you stand with one arm like this and just put one boot on the rock?" <Click> >End scene< |
![]() And the picture of Macron was from the same article - he is in Asia too and was speaking to people at an event which included dignitaries. *gasp!* I didn’t make up anything about it. Here’s the caption on the photo: “France's President Emmanuel Macron, left, and his wife Brigitte Macron speak during a visit at Borobudur Temple, in Magelang, Central Java, Thursday, May 29, 2025.

They are simply greeting him on the tarmac. There are no policy discussions going on. You just sound absolutely ridiculous. |
I’m a Kate fan, but please. We do not have a royal family here, and for good reason. We certainly don’t have to follow royal protocol. We’ve all seen that Hegseth did indeed change into a suit for the actual event. Move on. |
The Princess of Wales is the highest bar that mere mortals can never hope to reach. |
