Making fun of Trump – thanks France
I mean, it is easy to make fun of Trump, he is just too stupid and incapable and uneducated. But what the French president Emmanuel Macron did on Bastille Day, in presence of the usual Trumpies, was just above the usual level of making fun of Trump. The French made Trump watch a French band playing a medley of Daft Punk. And as we know – Trump seemed to be very unimpressed, most probably because he doesn’t have a clue.
I mean, normally you play these pathetic rubbish, look at the average US (or Chinese or North Korean) parades, and here we have the celebration of an event much older then anything the US can put on the table, and they are playing Daft Punk!
France, thanks. You made my day – actually not only one!
Actually Bastille day commemorates the Fête de la Féderation (on July 14th, 1790), which itself commemorates the “storming of the Bastille” (on July 14th, 1789). Both are later than US Independance (July 4th, 1776).
Indeed, you are right. Unless one considers the history leading up to Bastille Day 😉
Thanks for the clarification.
I watched this also multiple times, great performance, fantastic music choice. The title here sounds like France made fun of Trump, but that sounds like it was intended and prepared for that outcome. I rather think Trump solely brought himself here into the position looking awkward.
I agree, it was for sure not made to make fun of Trump, but I still believe it was made on purpose to make a statement.
Understanding someone good enough to foresee which music pieces (or at least style) the person has no relation to would be a great achievement. Maybe this applies here, indeed.
