'Breathtaking speed': Trump's Paris trip marks return to global stage as leaders turn 'the page' on Biden

A former Trump State Department official says the 'Oval Office has been replaced by Mar-a-Lago'

----------------

President-elect Trump is in Europe this weekend for his first overseas trip since his commanding victory in last month's presidential election.

Trump will meet with Emmanuel Macron after the French president invited him to attend Saturday's star-studded VIP event for the official reopening of the newly restored Notre Dame Cathedral, five years after a devastating fire wrecked the centuries-old Paris landmark.

First Lady Jill Biden will also attend the ceremonies, but it's Trump who will be holding court with world leaders.

The president-elect's appearance will serve as Trump's unofficial return to the global stage, and it is another reminder that he is quickly becoming the center of the world's attention.

"This is without question a major moment in French history and the fact that Macron wanted to share it with Trump speaks to the significance of what Trump is achieving even before he gets to the Oval Office again, said Brett Bruen, a public affairs and strategic communications veteran, and former U.S. diplomat who served under both Democratic and Republican administrations.

UK press is reporting that Pres. Trump will “meet” with the Prince of Wales there.

And that the Prince will also “meet” with Dr. Mrs. BiteMe, who in Paris as well.

If one or both ate true, wonder if Harry will be a subject for discussion.

But every Deep State in the planet kept the POTATUS’s condition secret, didn’t they, for our Deep State.

Our republic has no allies in Western Europe.

But our Deep State has plenty.

Somebody needs to make a video showing how Trump has taken over from Biden without even being in office yet......and the video will include the rap song.....”Move Bitch, get out the way, move bitch, get out the way.”

Well, I think that would be funny anyways.

A former Trump State Department official says the 'Oval Office has been replaced by Mar-a-Lago'

That was the idea:

Mar-a-Lago was built for the businesswoman and socialite Marjorie Merriweather Post between 1924 and 1927, during the Florida land boom. At the time of her death in 1973, Post bequeathed the property to the National Park Service,[5] hoping it could be used for state visits or as a Winter White House.

However, because the costs of maintaining the property exceeded the funds provided by Post, and because it was difficult to secure the facility,[a] the property was returned to the Post Foundation by act of Congress 96-586 on 23 December 1980.[6][7]

In 1985, Donald Trump, primarily a businessman and real estate investor at the time, acquired Mar-a-Lago and used it as a residence.

Didn’t the press go crazy before the previous Trump presidency when someone on his team made a call to his soon-to-be foreign part? They claimed he was in violation of the Hatch Act, if I recall. My, how things have changed.

"[Macron] may see in Trump an opportunity to restore his lost luster as the European leader who can most effectively engage with the new American president."

If Macron wants to seize this opportunity, he'd better jump on Trump's bandwagon--and VITE!

Maybe Trump can show him how to MFGA.
