I don't understand why he was invited to France

[BigmanPigman]

and why he went there. Don't they dislike each other? What did I miss? He even insulted their first lady already...record time.

I think you are right by the way.

2. My guess is that France saw another oportunity to humiliate him in public, ...

... and couldn't resist the temptation. The more they make him look like a complete fool on the world stage, the more likely it is that Americans themselves will wake up to the fact that he's a buffoon. (O.K., maybe that's wishful thinking.)

3. He already did so by speaking of the first lady's appearance (twice).

I guess it is already considered a successful trip then.
