I prefer to think he was showing him the place where all the gaudy, gold loving, decadent monarchy lived before getting their heads cut off.

Fingers crossed history repeats itself.

Maybe he just wanted to humble Trump with all the goldenness.

Yeah, I got that vibe just from the video of him bumbling around on stage after a picture, and I thought it was Macron that pointed him in the right direction.

It's a very specific kind of dickish that I honestly consider an art form. The thing that "bless your heart" southerners try and fail to imitate.

Where you not only pretend to be nice and helpful, but you actually are. It's just everything you do also puts the person in the spotlight and draws attention to their shitty behavior.

Even the MAGA Twitter account Rapid Response 47 can't spin their way from quoting Trump that doesn't make him sound like an old, tired, doddering idiot.

“Did you sign the MOU?”

“It’s signed, yeah... I signed it in Versailles.”

I think trolling Trump is something on every world leaders bucketkst after seeing how Iran ended.

Not trolling the US makes you look weak. Trolling the US is insanely easy when you have an demented old man sundowing in the oval office.

Let us not forget that both the Conways are complete shitheels.

Any French person that's been to school can tell you about the treaty of Versailles that was meant to impress the world, and that didn't invite any of the losers.
I've a feeling that's what Macron was going for. That and lots of shiny for the old demented fool. Also it's a ballroom, you know ?

I initially thought they were going for the railcar which indeed would have been top trolling.

In any case it's kinda funny seeing people think they have discovered some hidden meaning to the location choice. Dude, diplomacy is totally about that kinda shit. The only moron who doesn't know it is Trump and his cronies, it seems.

I think he's having (another) stroke.

Anyway... On to the TRUMP-EPSTEIN FILES (TM)

Unfortunately Macron is also evil in a whole bunch of ways.
