Trump to invite France's Macron for administration's first official state visit

Donald Trump will invite the French president, Emmanuel Macron, on the first state visit of the Trump administration, the White House confirmed Tuesday.

Trump is the first US president in decades to wrap up his opening year without offering a counterpart the honor of a state visit, a diplomatic tool used to impress and showcase ties between allies.

The designation means Macron will be welcomed with a showy arrival ceremony on the White House lawn, including a 21-gun salute, followed by private meetings with Trump and a joint news conference before American and French journalists.

Macron will also be the guest of honor at a state dinner, typically attended by hundreds of guests and meticulously planned by the first lady.

1. Will Trump let him have two scoops of ice cream

following the magnificent banquet of well-done steak and a bucket of KFC, preceded by caviar dished up with plastic spoons?

2. He will

have it catered by McDonald's. And he'll make sure he gets one more of everything than everyone else.

Then he'll grab Mrs. Macron's ass some time during the festivities.

Melania will sit next to him and scowl all evening while Donnie makes the usual ass of himself.

Such a lovely couple .... Couple of .....

3. Gotta have french fries on the menu..

Just a little touch of cooking from back home. Maybe served in some plaster of paris dishes.
