On Tuesday, in front a scrum of White House reporters, the President of the United States of America Donald J. Trump swept what may have been dandruff off the shoulder of visiting French President Emmanual Macron.
"We have to make him perfect," Trump said after doing so. "He is perfect."
In case presidential historians from either country ever forget, here's what that moment looked like:
\u201c\u201cWe do have a very special relationship,\u201d President Trump says as he brushes off what he describes as "dandruff" from French President Macron\u2019s shoulder. \u201cWe have to make him perfect. He is perfect.\u201d\u201d— NBC News (@NBC News) 1524582011
It might seem out of character for the most powerful man on the world to do somthing so utterly bizarre, until you remember this telling moment at the NATO summit in Brussels last year, when Trump pushed Montenegro's Prime Minister Dusko Markovic out of the way in order to be at the front of a group photo.
For anyone who forgets that moment, this is what it looked like:

And in slow motion:
Trump and Musk are on an unconstitutional rampage, aiming for virtually every corner of the federal government. These two right-wing billionaires are targeting nurses, scientists, teachers, daycare providers, judges, veterans, air traffic controllers, and nuclear safety inspectors. No one is safe. The food stamps program, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are next. It’s an unprecedented disaster and a five-alarm fire, but there will be a reckoning. The people did not vote for this. The American people do not want this dystopian hellscape that hides behind claims of “efficiency.” Still, in reality, it is all a giveaway to corporate interests and the libertarian dreams of far-right oligarchs like Musk. Common Dreams is playing a vital role by reporting day and night on this orgy of corruption and greed, as well as what everyday people can do to organize and fight back.
