La loi française désigne les "appellations contrôlée" pour ses vins, et ces vins californiens aux noms français soulèvent un point sensible entre nos pays.

French law defines controlled names for its wines and the California wines with French names raises a sour point between our nations.

It's a minor point, but somewhat amusing.

I am very glad that there is an American President who can display decency and warmth with another world leader, and I'm sure the Macrons overlooked the point with grace and humor.

Dr. Jill and Brigitte Macron could be twins! Plus, they're both teachers, so they have that in common.

180° difference from the fucking moron and his hideous family. Body language makes it so evident. Sort of like when he visited the poor Pope. He looked like he wished he were dead.

This is one of the main reasons I wanted Biden to be the Dem nominee for POTUS. He already is known to world leaders and doesn't need to establish himself and his values.

Say something classy to Macron's wife whose 20+ years his senior like, "hey, you look pretty good for a woman your age". Then later in the evening in front of the cameras wipe of Macron's shoulder and say he had a little dandruff there. You know, classy stuff that presidents do!

Yes, donny did these very things when meeting them.

.... President of Australia on the phone.

It should have been one of the most congenial calls for the new commander in chief — a conversation with the leader of Australia, one of America’s staunchest allies, at the end of a triumphant week.

Instead, President Trump blasted Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull over a refu­gee agreement and boasted about the magnitude of his electoral college win, according to senior U.S. officials briefed on the Saturday exchange. Then, 25 minutes into what was expected to be an hour-long call, Trump abruptly ended it.

At one point, Trump informed Turnbull that he had spoken with four other world leaders that day — including Russian President Vladi­mir Putin — and that “this was the worst call by far.”

[Why Trump’s rebuke could be good for Australia’s prime minister]

Trump’s behavior suggests that he is capable of subjecting world leaders, including close allies, to a version of the vitriol he frequently employs against political adversaries and news organizations in speeches and on Twitter.

I'm surprised he had the nerve to show his face. What a worm.
