President Trump

[Anonymous]

You have to admit he was on his best behavior when the President of France came to America. I am very proud of him and his is the best President we ever had. I don't recall Obama having a state dinner with him, but that being said Trump was on his best behavior and acted very presidential

My son -- who is 3 -- can sit through a dinner without causing trouble.

Perhaps my son is presidential material!!

That's all that's required, folks ... you don't need to be smart, you don't need to be well-read, you don't need to make well-reasoned decisions -- all you need to do is sit through a dinner without throwing your food, and you too can be the President of the USA!

The awkward handtouching was cringeworthy even by Trump standards.

Of course President Trump was at his very best behavior. President Trump -- for the most part -- sucks up to the very powerful, the very influential, and the very richest persons. Just ask "LVMH Chairman Bernard Arnault, media mogul Rupert Murdoch, Blackstone CEO Steve Schwartman, leveraged-buyout tycoon Henry Kravis, Fedex founder Fred Smith, and Carlyle co-founder David Rubenstein." (See today's Bloomberg article, "Guests worth $120 Billion Eat With Trump at First State Dinner".)

It is part of Donald Trump's long-term, personal strategy to elevate himself, his brand, his businesses, and his family (in that order) by associating himself with those whose groups he has always wanted to be a part of, but never has been, until now. I call it "Ingratiation and Elevation by Association"). Being U.S. President, no matter how personally reprehensible a person you may be (e.g., stoking racial and ethnic hatred or conflict for personal profit), will earn you much acceptance and many "friends", French President Emmanuel Macron among them. And even if President Trump suspects that most of these men
(and women) secretly roll their eyes behind his back, their immense power and wealth are irresistable aphrodisiacs for him. Even then, President Trump could not resist trying to diminish Macron, or put him in his place, with l'affair dandruff.

The only exception to President Trump's generally fawning obsequiousness to the most powerful and the very richest, is his treatment of those among that elite group who are actually willing to call President Trump out and take him to task. In that case, Trump will vindictively and coarsely attempt to use the "Bully" pulpit of the American President to harass them, economically harm them, and bring them down. Just look to Jeff Bezos for an example of this treatment.

Everyone else, a group in which I include such luminaries as Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, or former National Economic Advisor Gary Cohn, is treated by President Trump only in direct measure of his personal use for you at the time, paired with your willingness to be completely loyal to him. If President Trump no longer needs you, and/or if you fail to be blindly loyal to him, then Trump will.discard and bury you like last week's trash in a landfill. I have never seen such a level of insecurity, pettiness, anger, vindictiveness, (or alternatively, obsequiousness and fawning to the very elite) in a U.S. President before, and hope to God I never see such again.

Well, we do say that anyone can be president...

Word salad only to those without badic reading comprehension abilities, and sadly, oh so true. And that is the relatively mild criticism that can be leveled against this President, the previous poster did not begin to touch on the allegations of criminality or treason.

This was a social faux pas unprecedented in the annals of US Presidents.
