Trump loves this stuff. It’s like giving a toddler an iPad so the adults can talk in peace. What a clown. |
I don’t know if they respect him, but they know they need to ingratiate themselves with the American president. I’m about as anti Trump as they get it, but honestly I think this is a good thing. We want countries to take relationships with our country and leader very seriously. |
This maybe symbolically important to France, but it’s not actually important. Having the spouse of the US President go is perfectly appropriate. This isn’t G7; it’s a symbolic event attended by people who symbolize and represent their country (hence Jill and notJoe, hence the Prince William and not the King or PM) |
France is an ally but hasn't been a world power since it surrendered to Germany in 1940. |
Jill Biden is there representing the United States. |
As Voltaire said: "It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere." |
Could it be that the president of the United States is the leader of the free world? Shame that the President of the United States and the current leader of the free world could not be there. |
Biden isn’t there because it is not longer possible to hide is infirmity. That’s it. Having him fall asleep or wander off would distract. And the rest of the world is happy to not have to pretend he is fine. I’m sure Macron is among those who has absolutely known and just been a good ally and helped hide it. |
Talking about AUKUS and the Quad. The Emir of Qatar was just in the UK for security and defence talks and was given a state dinner. Maybe now, people will start focusing on the aggression of China in the Indo-Pacific. |
What could possibly have happened in the world since last Trump's term that is causing the Europeans, in particular, to sidle up to Trump? |
Cause they are covering the reason the President of the United States of America did not show up for this important event like many other world leaders. |
lol you are missing the biggest degenerate rapist in your little list- Trump. He was the organizer. |
