Diplomatic Priorities

Apparently the Trumpster's and his head-tribble's choice of their ambassador to France is proving almost as brilliant as Team Starmer's recent choice of ambassador to the Trumpster. The beastly French summoned the great man over some comments made by the State Department about the demise of a fascist in a street brawl, but the great man had better things to do and sent an underling instead. Expectably for a Trumpster appointee to high office, the ambassador is a tax dodger related by dynastic marriage to the imperial family; he is also a real-estate mogul with, one presumes, some time-consuming personal commitments as regards obtaining advantageous access to vacant lots in Gaza and Greenland. The beastly French have responded to the missed meeting by allowing him even more time to himself; but the extent of the ambassador's and the State Department's gratitude is not as yet a matter of public record.
