There’s a lot to be said for that theory.

I can’t wait for Trump to have a State Dinner for a bunch of stuck up Congressmen and ambassadors and cater it from McDonalds or Taco Bell on paper plates and plastic dinnerware.

A few years ago, a poll was taken in France of the most loved King. Henri Quatre won. He is the King who made the phrase popular, “A chicken in every pot.” He wanted the poor of France to have a chicken in the pot on Sunday instead of just the rich and famous. He was the King of Navarre and was a Protestant who fought for the Protestants during the religious war. When he became the next in line for the Royal Title King of France, it was demanded that he convert to Catholicism. You will even today hear his response, “Paris is worth a Mass.” As king, he did much good for the French people of all walks of life, wrote the Edict of Nantes which gave equal rights to Protestants and was ultimately assassinated by a fanatical Catholic. He is still known as “Good King Henry.”

He inaugurated the stone bridge in Paris known as the Pont Neuf connecting isle de la Cite with the left bank in 1607 and rode across it on a white horse. The Pont Neuf( New Bridge) is actually the oldest bridge in Paris. A beautiful statue of him stands at the end of the bridge on the Cite side.

That may be, but the left will literally have a cow over this.

This is great, hope social media runs with it over and over.

Paris Hilton made a ton of money, playing the part of an airheaded bimbo. In her own way, she’s proven to be as much a genius at manipulating the media as Trump.

(That said, I agree with your point.)

When they were seated I saw Barron in a very animated conversation with Tiffany. Many young people (and many old people) would not be comfortable knowing that millions are staring at them.

I think Baron’s about 10 years old. I was obnoxious at that age, but I grew out of it. (I still have my moments.) As I remember, I was in a hurry to grow up and was furious with adults and my older siblings for treating me like a child. Give him some time.

In contrast to Bill Clinton, avoid his wife, jet the world, smoke cigars, and chase women.

I did not see that interaction with Tiffany and it is certainly some evidence against Autism.

At the very end Rience and Baron were throwing balloons from the stage into the audience like dodgeball, grinning ear to ear. I wanted to hug Rience. He must have boys, he knew just what to do.

I think the boy was Reince’s son.

Barron went offstage with his family before that.

The idea of Camelot was on the public mind at the time because of the hit Broadway show that ran during the Kennedy administration. And it was a favorite of Jackie Kennedy’s.

I was never a fan of JFK, nor bought into the "Camelot" B/S. However, I did tear up when his little boy gave a salute at the funeral. Staged or not, it was powerful.

When Jackie married Onassis, a vomit-inducing political cartoon showed a castle in the air tilting to one side as if, when SHE married a commoner, the "magic" of Camelot was tarnished, if not destroyed.

I’d rather say it’s the age of the Sun King.
Thank you! The Sun King, Louis XIV of France, has been added to the list! :)
This is an ongoing list of historical, popular, and Biblical people, as well as fictional characters and animals, that Donald Trump has been compared to on FR:

I guess he’s at that age where he gets embarrassed when he gets a hug. Boys are like that.

Indeed. Tweens and teens in general don't like hugs from family members.

I just asked my 20 year-old son how he would have felt at 10 or 11 at a huge public event when you're young, all dressed up, and know that the cameras are on you all the time.

"Bored" was the concise reply.

I would imagine he would have been bored by all of the speakers, embarrassed by all the attention and really tired, having to stay up way past his normal bedtime.

You’d think he’d at least be excited by the whole thing, the crowds, balloons

Maybe if he were three years old and it was during the middle of the day. :)

Good one! It would be very appropriate to demonstrate what waste, fraud and abuse is all about.

The difference between the Trump family and the Kennedy family is huge.

The Kennedy kids never had to work a day in their lives, and thought themselves royalty. The Trump family kids actually were trained how to run businesses, and trained to respect those who worked the trades (blue collar) under them.

The Trump kids are actually smart, accomplished, and clearly well bred. The Kennedy kids became ignorant spoiled brats and ingrates of the highest degree.

“Yeah, I wondered what was going on with Baron."

Just think of the past year plus. How often has Donald been at home in NY? I think Baron is resenting the run for the presidency which has taken his Dad away from him. I don't blame him. I would be mad too. I just wanted to reach out and give him some kind of comfort. I doubt there is anything that would at this point in his life. He is the one who is sacrificing and nobody has noticed. I know it can't be helped, but America has taken his Dad away from him. I pray that he can overcome his resentment.

“I never got why people ere so impressed with John. “

Well that’s easy enough to answer even for those of us who weren’t part of his fan club. JFK was handsome and a very good speaker. Not particularly good as a President but he came across very well on television.

He had charisma. A term that interestingly enough the press first applied to his predecessor, Dwight Eisenhower.
