Notre Dame reopening meeting

At the invitation of Emmanuel Macron, Donald Trump will attend the reopening ceremony of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, a meeting reminiscent of the 2017 Bastille Day celebrations in Paris. An unforgettable meeting.

After a devastating fire severely damaged Notre Dame in April 2019, the restored cathedral will reopen on December 7 with a grand celebration and around 2,000 invited guests, including One particularly famous visitor: Donald Trump.

The encounter between electronic music and march music

The meeting was reminiscent of Trump's attendance at France's Bastille Day celebrations on the Champs Elysées on July 14, 2017. The highlight of the event was the grand military parade, which involved 3,700 soldiers, more than 200 vehicles and 63 aircraft.

However, it's not the vehicles and soldiers that will be remembered, but the marching band's surprising number: They played a marching version of Daft Punk's hit song “Get Lucky.” Video of the performance sparked laughter around the world – especially reactions from Trump and Macron.

This video of the parade went viral on the Internet

During the three-minute performance, Macron smiled happily at the audience, unable to hide his joy at the gesture. He clearly suspected he had just pulled off a great PR coup.

“One of the greatest parades”

It was a brilliant performance that seemed to strike a chord with Donald Trump. Although his facial expressions during the performance didn't suggest it, he was impressed afterwards: “It was one of the greatest marches I've ever seen.” What's more, he even said he wanted to hold his own march on Washington , the icing on the cake for the 2018 performance.

From Veterans Day fiasco to July 4th tank show

However, he must remain patient until Trump gets his own parade. A Veterans Day celebration originally planned for November 11, 2018 was derailed by a massive cost of $92 million and intense public criticism.

On Independence Day, July 4, 2019, his wish finally came true: Trump conducted a military demonstration in Washington with main battle tanks, helicopters and fighter jets. The occasion has met with resistance, however, as Independence Day is traditionally considered apolitical in the United States and demonstrations of military force are not allowed on the holiday.

brotherhood among politicians

The friendship between Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron has been well publicized since his first term. Their encounters are often sensational – often accompanied by strange moments

It remains to be seen how the reopening ceremony on December 7 will be conducted. Maybe Trump will be inspired by Macron this time and hold his own event.

A major internet outage occurred in Finland. However, no criminal investigation has been launched so far.
