      What a weird thing to say. Trump has literally done nothing for freedom. He has only endangered it on a global scale.

        That’s what I was trying to say; Zelensky is protecting European democracies from Putistan. All while Trump is destroying fundamental institutions of American democracy.

      They didn’t, alphabetical order in French is the protocol in question. The USA’s name in French is États-Unis, putting it much earlier in the alphabet than it would be in English. Since France and Finland (both still start with F in French) were in the front row, we know that États-Unis would be too

      If you had read the article, you would know that no, they did not.

      Arcane rules dictated that world leaders be seated in alphabetical order according to the name of their country in French – the traditional language of diplomacy when the protocols were made.

      The name for the United States in French is Les États-Unis d’Amérique. Meaning the US president would sit right at the front.

    I mean he’s now the defacto leader of the free world.

    In my mind he deserves that and so much more.
