#EndorseThis: Trevor Noah Is Mad Macron, Toddler Trump In Epic State Visit Recap

#EndorseThis: Trevor Noah Is Mad Macron, Toddler Trump In Epic State Visit Recap

French President Emmanuel Macron is catching heat for buttering up to President Trump. By the time the pair shared a state dinner at the White House on Tuesday, TV cameras and stand-up comedians were catching every smooch, embrace and hand-clasp in the awkward “bromance.”

Trevor Noah senses something deeper, arguing that France has become like a sober bar patron trying to give a very wasted America a taxi ride. Macron is drawing on his past life as an investment banker to stroke Trump into doing his bidding. Noah drives the point home with footage of the En Marche! party leader pretending to be wowed by 45’s old-fashioned office phone.

Mike Johnson (R-LA), using the Motion to Vacate she filed last month. She told Fox viewers she wanted to return to her House district to “listen to voters” before acting, however.

Trump's Hour On CNN Was A Profile In Cowardice

Vanity Fair recently reported that several journalists from mainstream publications, including The Washington Post, NBC News, Axios, and Vanity Fair, were denied press access to Trump’s campaign events, seemingly in retaliation for their previous critical coverage. Meanwhile, Media Matters found that the campaign has granted press credentials to the QAnon-promoting MG Show and Brenden Dilley, a podcaster who has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory and leads a “meme team” that creates pro-Trump content.
