The World Is Treating Donald Trump as America’s Real President

Over the weekend, President-elect Donald Trump attended the re-opening event for the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.

The event drew dignitaries and world leaders from across the globe including many heads of state from Europe and regions far beyond. Noticeably missing was President Biden but First Lady Jill Biden was sent to represent the White House.

Well, you wouldn’t even know Joe Biden was still officially president the way that Donald Trump was treated as if he was already inaugurated and ready to lead on the world stage.

It started with Trump meeting French President Emanuel Macron and the visual representation of America resurrected from the Biden years just kept coming:

This is what American might and global respect look like on the world stage:

There is no question that world leaders are already treating Donald Trump as far more influential and consequential than Joe Biden. It’s as if the Biden administration is already done and Trump might as well be the decision-maker in the Oval Office. It’s a testament to just how far down America fell in world standing under the failed Biden regime. No one took Joe Biden seriously, especially America’s adversaries.

Trump is back and so is America in one fell swoop. The Notre Dame ceremony was a chance to step up and step out and put America’s enemies on notice. The days of a weak and feckless foreign policy are over.

The reception for Donald Trump in 2024 is nothing like the reception in 2017. World leaders were skeptical of the novice businessman 8 years ago. They didn’t take him seriously. This time around, the world is watching and waiting for leadership and they know Trump will deliver:

President-elect Trump also visited with U.S. Marines stationed in Paris while the rest of the world waited on him:

In the ultimate irony, Trump was seated next to Jill Biden, with Macron in between, and the pair exchanged some pleasantries. It was the look in the First Lady’s eyes, however, said it all:

According to reports, Trump said the two had a nice conversation:

Despite their major political differences during the past three election cycles, Trump told The Post in a wide-ranging phone interview Sunday that he had a positive interaction with President Biden’s wife.

“Very nice. She couldn’t have been nicer,” Trump said of their exchange.

“It’s politics. You have to get used to it,” he added about their past political spats.

“She was very nice and we had a very nice conversation.”

What is there to say? There’s undoubtedly a side of Jill Biden relieved that Kamala Harris lost to Trump. Party or not, the Bidens never got along with Kamala and it’s almost as if that divorce, which was years in the making, was finally resolved by Trump’s victory in November.

All-in-all, a very successful trip for Donald Trump and a successful renewal of American global leadership on the world stage. Trump does not have to ask for an audience, the world comes running in his direction to shake his hand and get a picture.

Without a strong United States, the world is left without any moral compass. With Trump at the helm and peace through strength as the motto, America is back, baby!
