She desperately wants to try out the Polonium cheesecake recipe Putin gave her the other day.

I'm no great fan of Macron but he knows how to play Trump, just for fun like a violon d'Ingres.

On their first encounter, he beat him at Trump's crushing handshake ploy.

Trump has probably been practicing a counter-handshake strategy and what does Macron do?

He gives him the male-on-male double cheek kiss. La bise!

You can see Trump's shock and confusion.

I have it on the authority of my good friend Elián González that indeed, the world is laughing at us. (But if it makes you feel better, it’s shockingly obvious how much of the world fears the US, which explains their relative fright and hapless, 1,000 yard stares.)

That Betty Bowers tweet was sooooo good.

Macron is not sexy. You cannot square his repeated utterances about fighting racism, equality and a strong Europe if he’s here talking to the West’s leading racist who is weakening the United States. This visit is an embarrassment for yet another hapless European who thinks a charm offensive is the key to persuading/controlling such an incompetent “president.”

She can go fuck herself, she's as anti-Semitic and racist and misogynistic as he is. Fuck her sideways.

Morbid thought, but I was thinking, when the news came out about Poppy Bush being hospitalized the day after the funeral, Melania was probably a little bit excited -- "Maybe I'll get to go hang out with Michelle and Barak again!"

Husband said he could not watch full video when he saw it on CNN. The cringes it induced were too excruciating. Poor guy. I watched and laughed. What does that say about me I wonder.

That last pic with Macron and Pence, Macron had the most amazing "Who is this fucking guy?" side eye.

Trump’s “Primate Grooming” power move is a step or two away from leg humpping.

The rest of America is like "fuck no, United States, we are the America. You can go fuck yourself and quit trying to associate with us."

Look mate, you guys can't handle your own President, so you want us to do it for you? Come on, man!

Let us not confuse "the US" and "Americans".

Trump can brush away all the imaginary dandruff he wants to but Macron kissed him twice.

Mwa. Mwa.

That is nothing in France. Charles de Gaulle, for instance, did it all the time. But, as I am sure Macron knows, it is highly unfamiliar here.

The shock and panic in Trump's eyes show that Macron won the power game. Again.

He's probably afraid that Roy Cohn came back from the grave and injected him with AIDS.
