Oh to be a fly on the wall….
President Trump and Prince William met up in France today after the Notre Dame reopening, and there appeared to be quite a lot of mutual admiration.
Watch this greeting:

Trump is pretty much de facto President at this point.

Yes indeed, the world has completely forgotten about Biden.
It feels like Trump is already President, even though no formal transfer of power has occurred.
While President Trump appeared to show genuine affection for Prince William, it was not so much for President Macron:
Watch Trump’s respect for Prince William versus his utter disdain for Macron. No comparison. The boss is back in charge! pic.twitter.com/p0MVPiwWTq

What a difference!
And Prince William looks like a teenage girl at a Taylor Swift concert when he gets to greet President Trump here:

Oh to be a fly on the wall indeed!
The BBC had more details to report about the meeting:
The Prince of Wales met US President-elect Donald Trump while visiting France for the ceremonial reopening of Notre-Dame cathedral.
Prince William joined other world leaders in Paris to mark the restoration of the world-famous landmark, which was devastated by a fire five years ago.
ADVERTISEMENTAfter shaking hands at the ceremony, the pair also met afterwards, with the president-elect describing the prince as a “good man” doing a “fantastic job”.
During the event, French President Emmanuel Macron delivered a speech in which he said of the restoration: “We must treasure this lesson of fragility, humility and will”.
Prince William was expected to discuss the importance of the US-UK “special relationship” with both Trump and the first lady during their respective meetings.
Greeting the prince at the ceremony, Trump gave William a pat on the shoulder before the two shook hands and spoke for a few seconds.
He last met Trump in 2019 when the then-president made a state visit to the UK.
Prince William, who attended at the request of the UK government, joined French President Emmanuel Macron and dozens of other heads of state at the ceremony on Saturday.
William and Trump met at the residence of the British ambassador in Paris.
The prince was standing in the foyer when Trump arrived.
ADVERTISEMENTThe pair shook hands and greeted one another again, before Trump gestured to the Prince of Wales and said: “Good man, this one”.
Prince William asked the president-elect if he had warmed up, and Trump replied that he had and that “it was a beautiful ceremony”.
Kensington Palace has described the meeting between as “warm and friendly.”
During their 40 minutes together, William and Trump discussed a range of global issues but focused on the importance of the UK/US special relationship.
The president-elect also shared some warm and fond memories of the late Queen for which the prince was said to be “extremely grateful.”
William had also been due to meet Trump and Dr Biden earlier in the day but Kensington Palace said he had been delayed by weather on his journey from the UK to France.
I’m less of a fan than President Trump is….
I still remember when these two pushed the mRNA jab on everyone:
