Paralyzed' by chaos at home, Trump sets off for Paris
"The White House is paralyzed," a top Republican close to the West Wing told CNN
"Another week lost," is how one official described the legislative timeline for Trump
(CNN) If Washington is currently a dark place for President Donald Trump, a stop in the City of Light may prove well-timed.

"The White House is paralyzed," a top Republican close to the West Wing told CNN ahead of Trump's departure to Paris, a withering assessment of an administration whose goals of passing a health care bill, overhauling the tax code and defeating ISIS have been complicated once again.

"Another week lost," is how one official described the legislative timeline for Trump and Republicans, an acknowledgment that the latest swirl of Russia developments complicate an already imperiled agenda.


Escaping what advisers, aides, and other Republicans describe as a White House rattled by Russia bombshells, Trump will find himself here instead embraced by Gallic splendor. He accepted an invitation from the new French president, Emmanuel Macron, to be on hand for Bastille Day, the national holiday that commemorates the start of the French Revolution.

The Paris trip is at least a momentary respite from his current predicament in the United States: embattled against accusations prompted by his oldest son's meeting with a Russian lawyer and surrounded by lawyers and aides urging him to remain quiet.

1. Let's get honest here.

Melenia needs some new Dud's. She is taking the Big Plane and Dipstick Donnie better not get in her way.

4. I'm sure Macron

Has something entertaining lined up for 45.


Something, perhaps, like Talleyrand had lined up for Napoleon on his first visit to Paris.

A boar hunt in the public park with stocked tame pigs.

Napolean was told there was great hunting in Paris

The practical joke nearly cost Talleyrand his head.

7. I forgot that Talleyrand story!

I wouldn't be shocked if Macron had a little surprise for Dump. Something harmless, but embarrassing.

9. Hope so!

[Wellstone ruled]

13. Do feel sorry for Macron.

The Guy speaks and writes several Languages,and he is to meet a so called Leader that has issues with any type of English.

Embarrassing to say the least.

Understand,Macron says it like it is. Dumpsky's Ego is about to take a major hit.

10. lololol

[NastyRiffraff]

11. Maybe he's seeking asylum?

Doubt if the French like him any better than we do, though.

[Solly Mack]

14. Nah. He'd go a little east to seek asylum.

[NastyRiffraff]

15. And north. eom

[Solly Mack]

16. Yes

[NastyRiffraff]

3. Emmanuel Macron is NOT a fan

Remember how he won "the handshake"? Then he made it clear he's done it on purpose.

5. I refer you

To my post #4

8. Yeah, thats on my bucket list too.

12. He never got to ride in the Queen's golden carriage,

maybe President Macron has arranged for a nice tumbrel ride, it being Bastille Day and all.
