“Family Photo.” What an odd term. The press always uses it.
“Family Photo.” What an odd term. The press always uses it.
It’s odd because you forgot to include the “Dysfunctional” part
“Leaders”? SMH
The EU reps are, in reality, Oligarchs and Autocrat-wannabes … the lot of them.
In an Oligarchy or an Autocracy, the respective nation’s population is one of SUBJECTS.
Only in a TRUE Democracy — where the GOVT, in whatever form it might be, is DETERMINED ABSOLUTELY by the People — are the nation’s population considered CITIZENS, where such Citizens are defined as those who have BOTH … RIGHTS and DUTIES … where such rights and duties are truly their own.
[Oh, yes, in an Oligarchy or an Autocracy, the Subjects do have rights and duties … but such are limited to adhering to the command of the oligarch/autocrat.]
The U.S. is NOT a democracy. We live in a Constitutional Representative Republic, BIG difference.
I cringe every single time I hear “our democracy”.
It is a big difference and an important distinction.
Too bad about that cringe. A good education would cure that.
But, in the following, you are correct: there is a BIG difference and an important distinctlion … and the fact that there are so many [LEGAL?] Americans who do not know the meaning of democracy or they do not understand The Unanimous Declaration of 4 July 1776, it is an existential problem.
It is a problem of those who, because they refuse to understand the distinction, they would rather be controlled SUBJECTS instead of Free CITIZENS.
Nonsense.
So, what is it? Do you not know the unambiguous fundamental definition of the word democracy, or, you do not understand The Unanimous Declaration of 4 July 1776?
According to our NATION’s founding document, our NATION, our USA can be nothing other than a democracy.
Macron and Z appear to be nodding to someone like a signal…..??
Macron with his hand in his pocket…
What A Clown!
“And I’ve got one hand in my pocket, and the other one’s makin’ a ‘no peace’ sign.”
And he is standing in POTUS personal space, I did not like that.
…and the hand-in-pocket is beside Meloni.
Does he think she’s contagious? Or just too female to bump shoulders with?
Look Vlad, when the US stops all aid, it isn’t going to be pretty.
Three standing with hands in front touching, with both women clasping their hands together. Are they trying to keep themselves together?
POTUS and two others standing with arms/hands at their side, but the other two have stiff hands making it a military stance, whereas POTUS stance is relaxed.
Macron in his pocket stance, half relaxed, half at attention.
Yeah, this group is NOT happy to be there. Then, when you look at the pictures of Trump holding court from the resolute desk and them gathered around “taking orders”. ALL of them are arrayed in postures like children being reprimanded and instructed to do better next time, one taking notes. Just wow, how the tides have turned since that picture of Trump going toe to toe with Merkel surrounded by mostly the same batch of hens in Europe.
“That was not a great day!”
President @realDonaldTrump shows the European Leaders his Butler ‘Fight, Fight, Fight’ painting
Pointing out that they tried to kill the “king” and FAILED!!!
I think Macron and Merz are not fully on board with the current plan for peace.
Then they can put their military personnel on the ground as security forces & keep our boots off Ukrainian soil.
How about they go themselves and fight the war then.
yeah Macron has not seemed his normal jovial self..
Maybe the wife punched him again? 😆
Have you guys been following Candace Owen’s big reveal that Brigette Macron is actually a guy? Checking out her podcast called “Becoming Brigette” and you will see it explains a lot about why Emmanuel is such a loser.
I haven’t watched much of it other than sound bites and know she has taken a ton of heat for it. I believe Candace is correct, Brigette is a man.
Yes, a few of them seemed glum, but maybe it is jet-lag. As for Macron, isn’t he doing poorly back home? Maybe he has other problems to worry about.
Hasn’t he lost a couple of elections but manages to stay in office.
It’s a good thing they’re both irrelevant.
President Trump and his entourage of hangers on …
Haha. No kidding.
There’s Trump, and then there’s a handful of totally inconsequential people. Trump has to hate these dog-and-pony shows.
Little Z still looks like the poor, uncultured country cousin even though he “dressed up”
That’s because no matter what he does, says or dresses like, hes still nothing but a globalist puppet actor.
It was hard to tell – everything looked black, slacks, jacket, tie – could not distinguish where one began and the next ended. Minimal effort – I would rate it a c-minus.
You are more generous than I am. I give it an F minus.
Mini me in black!
He’s making the point, yes, you have twisted my arm into wearing a suit out of “respect”, but you can’t make me adhere to a color scheme, so, call it defiant black monotone.
Professor and farmer Victor Davis Hanson has more gravitas than the EU crowd.
Wendell Berry does also.
In Family Photos, most of the family members are smiling; that’s not the case in this photo. More frowns than smiles. They don’t look like a “Happy Family” to me.
Except for Z with his smirky smile the rest look like they are posing for a funeral pic
Macron has not seemed his normal jovial silly self..Z has his smirky smile,
ursela is doing the fast blink the rest look like they are posing at a funeral.
Beat me to it, Sundance
Mark Rutte, Secretary General of NATO, hanging back and behaving like a double agent.
It sure did look that way…That was interesting 🤔

Who is the women in the white outfit. Kinda looks like Kelly Ann.
Monica Crowley.
Monica has been amazing in her current position. She has such grace and beauty!!
Glad to see Meloni got her hair sorted out in time for the photo. Meow 😎 Sorry, couldn’t resist.
But Giorgia’s “forward fig leaf clutch” is detracting.
Looks like a hostage photo to me!
I don’t know what went on here, but these are not the faces of happy people.
I don’t know. They seemed pretty jolly in the meeting and with the press. Maybe they’re all just tired after a long day trying to look relevant in front of the world. Not Pres. Trump of course.
Trump looks exhausted with these petty leaders who value war over peace.
I am exhausted watching them, I cannot imagine what it is like to be in the room w/them all day w/the stinking press foaming at the mouth.
It’s encouraging to see Zelenskyy spared no expense, donning his most cherished formal t-shirt.
The rest of them all have that “Wanna get away?” look.
That little piece of crap always looks like the drunk that just keyed your car.
So disappointed
Always admired Monica Crowley. She’s smart, attractive, with a positive countenance The media back stabbed her over a nothing burger in Trump’s 1st term. Like a boss, he brings her back. He’s learned a lot these last 8 years. We all have. Mostly, thanks to Professor Sundance & Co.
Said yesterday that Trump was fighting the sever headed dragon. I take it back. He’s in with it.
If it bothers you then you could listen to Taylor Swift like Comey does for therapy.
thanks
What a bunch of dweebs! 🤡 Such a motley crew! (Except for PDT)
Zelenskyy …
” and his sisters and his cousins and his aunts.”
All wars come to an end, even a fake one. The New Normal
Frenchie looking cool playing pocket pool.
Macron probably his his little cocaine stash in that pocket.

I think that’s more accurate.
I really dislike these bleeping ‘family photos’. Do they need to do them to prove they were there for their travel expenses?
When you think about its quite remarkable the ENTIRE EU leadership team left Europe to meet in America on behalf of a nation that is not in the EU and doesn’t even share a border with the UK, France, or Germany. Priorities, priorities…
Even more remarkable is the amazing WH staff pulling this event together over a weekend with very little notice!!
And isn’t it true that they were not invited? Only Zelensky? That’s why no one is smiling This is War! A war where most are trying to keep an “image” together of widdle victim Zelensky, who fell into the trap of believing the CIA and money laundering, U.S. economy stealing EU were going to have his back in the lie.
President Trump does not have a very good history of being kind to visiting dignitaries who are living a lie, nor anyone else for that matter. They are on his home turf, and they know they have been betraying Trumps nation and his citizens, whom he loves, for more than a decade.
The facade and lie they live is unraveling and it is only a matter of time before it is fully exposed. Each individual has nowhere to hide. If they leave office, those who replace them will likely betray them. So they are forced to stay and keep trying to block the sunlight that will be the death of their reputation, and perhaps their literal death.
They tried to kill him and failed, as he reminded them, during the photo op.
The one thing these so called leaders share in common is this:
Not a single one of them actually represents the interests or well being of the citizens of their respective countries.
Only President Trump and President Putin represent the citizens of their respective countries.
Just as the US congress does not represent the interests or well being of US citizens.
And Hungary.
Yes that is true, and perhaps one or two others.
Trump looks like he’s had enough BS for one day!
Sleazy weasel Macron always manages to get himself right next to Pres. Trump. I really think he has a crush on him or looks up to him like Pres. Trump is his father. It’s very obvious. Poor guy is very needy for older folks.
🎶 “Clowns to left of me, jokers to the right Here I am, stuck in the middle with you“
Can’t put my finger on it, but I get the sense that Meloni truly doesn’t like von der Leyen. Seen them in these kind of situations before and there’s just something that irks Meloni about the EU Gruppenfuehrerin,
I thought it was a great day for America and the world. Only President Trump could get all these world leaders together at the White House.
Macron, left hand in pocket – again;-) Only one unresponsive (his brain jammed?) when PDJT points to the poster!
Ursula going for that Elizabeth Warren fashion statement
What a bunch of sour pusses. Trump and the punk were the only 2 with expressions that were half way pleasant.
Macron was the most p’od one in the line up. Arrogant, nasty btards.
Where did Zboi find the Zoot Suit.
Dead souls.
Has anyone notice that whenever Trump gets close to a peace deal with Putin, all the Euro-trash rush over to talk him out of it? It is a definite pattern.
Macron in his usual place. Always has to be very, very close to the President.
I note our flag is as far away from the EU and NATO flags as was physically possible…
Speaking of photos – one the media never talks about:
Most people don’t know this, but Russian President Vladimir Putin was the very first world leader to call US President George W. Bush after 9/11.
Russia didn’t just talk,they sent a massive 100-foot, 175-ton monument: the Tear Drop Memorial.
A giant bronze tower with a suspended steel teardrop.
A gift from Russia to America.
The base lists the names of 3.024 victims from New York, D.C. and Pennsylvania.
It stands in Harbor View Park, New Jersey,right across from NYC.
So why haven’t you heard of it?
Because the Western media decided not to report about it.
Acknowledging a kind gesture from Russia doesn’t fit their agenda.
Trump is between two black sheep “family members”.😂
Branch kin brother outcasts Z and Q.
Trump trying to fix this dysfunctional family.
Say Cheese!!!!!
In the top photo, Z is likely wondering where he can get shoes like those on PDJT, to make him taller.
“Family” because PDJT is their Daddy!
The others are all children.
Although the Georgia Meloni eye-roll while Fred Mertz was yammering was good.
One for the history books.
Monica Crowley does a great job.
