Politics donald trump michel barnier
The look on Michel Barnier’s face as he greets (kind of) Donald Trump speaks for the world
Donald Trump was in Paris for the magnificent re-opening of Notre Dame five years after that catastrophic fire, and very impressive it was too (not Trump, the cathedral).
We mention it because of this exchange between the once (and future) US president and (soon to be former) French prime minister, Michel Barnier, who so comprehensively schooled David Davis and all those others during the Brexit negotiations,
Trump threw a glance towards the outgoing French PM, and it’s fair to say Barnier wasn’t smiling back.

The woman sitting next to him looks as if she’s got a nasty smell under her nose.

Barnier knows an asshole when he sees one … had plenty of practice with Brexit … https://t.co/qV86N6q5Mq

Water off a Trump’s back, obviously.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you the shortest-serving prime minister of France.
