I've been in Paris for a week now [View all]

And no one is spending any time thinking about Trump. They're too busy enjoying their lives in this lovely city. It's Tuesday, and reservations are needed in many restaurants. The economy looks to be doing quite well here. Many people are walking everywhere, several languages are heard, people are singing in the streets of Montmartre. Life is good!
