https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-lets-slip-why-he-just-humiliated-his-top-goon-on-tv/Trump welcomed the Inter Miami soccer team to the White House on Thursday, though he admitted he forgot they were coming. I got a lot of things going on, he quipped, appearing to reference the war he started in Iran, in which more than 1,000 people have already been killed.

He then turned his attention to Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Introducing the proud Miami sports fan, he said, Im telling you, hes going to go down as the best secretary of state in the countrys history, Marco Rubio.
As applause rippled, Trump could be heard showing anxiety about just how popular the 54-year-old is. I dont want him to get too popular. Its true, he muttered.
But as the applause subsided, Trump thundered, I dont want him to get too popular!
He continued: You know, when they get too popular all of a sudden, you see, Wheres Marco? Hes not around anymore. I dont see him! Hes doing some job.

One of the most notable aspects of the Versailles court was its ability to attract and control the French nobility. By forcing nobles to reside regularly at Versailles, Louis XIV was able to maintain tight control over them, limiting their political influence and consolidating his own power. The pomp and sumptuous entertainments held at the château were all means of seduction to keep the nobles busy and under control.
Versailles thus became the nerve center of Frances political and social life, with the nobility vying for the kings favor. This centralization of power around the monarch reinforced the kingdoms political stability and gave Louis XIV unprecedented control over his empire.

Maybe there's a small part of me that should "respect" his ability to take abuse, but hey...who am I kidding?

And he will be asking for money to prop up its economy
