When President Trump visited France over the weekend to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I, "once again, Trump was very chummy with [Vladimir] Putin," Jimmy Kimmel said on Monday's Kimmel Live. "This is his face when his Sugar Vladdy showed up. I have to say, I've studied him, I've only seen that dopey grin on his face one other time, and that was when the Colonel came to visit." He did a play-by-play of Trump greeting Putin.
And "that was not the bigliest embarrassment in Paris," Kimmel said, turning to Trump's skipping a memorial service at an American cemetery on Saturday because it was raining. "Bottom line: He missed the memorial because he didn't want his hair to get wet." He showed an artist's rendering of Trump's hair after a downpour, and also Trump's actual reaction to French President Emmanuel Macron's thrashing of nationalism, an ideology Trump has famously embraced.
