Melania wisely refused to accompany him. That was a smart move. The people there would no doubt make her even more conscious of her ignorance.
Yes of course Macron is, at this very moment ,enjoying how the 'world' is laughing and mocking trump on his first day at Davos.

I agree with Kracer; you can absolutely bank on this! And Macron doesn't have to "secretly hope." 45 falling on his face on this world stage is an inevitability.

This is never talked about, I predict it will be with time.

Macron is a smart guy and is/has developed a good relationship with Trump. The Brits probably would be well advised to watch and learn.

Right around the time Obama was saying this, I was on my hands and knees scrubbing oil stains off a concrete floor while trying to clean up a piece of crap building so I could renovate and open a new small business.
