Sen. Claude Malhuret from France delivered a scathing remark against Washington. His point wasn’t just to mock Trump’s cabinet but to explain that Europe, at this point in time, can only rely on itself where defense is concerned.
“A year ago, right here, I compared the Trump administration to the court of Nero. I was wrong—it’s the Court of Miracles,” Malhuret said in a speech to Parliament. For literary context, the ‘court of miracles’ (Cour des Miracles) is a reference to a 17th-century Parisian slum inhabited by lying criminals and thieves.
