“How many wives do you have?” »: Donald Trump’s absurd question to the Syrian president that even made JD Vance laugh

Was it humor or inappropriate remarks? There were differing opinions regarding the question Donald Trump asked Syrian President Ahmed al-Chareh during his visit to the Oval Office on Monday.

In a thirty-second sequence captured by television cameras, we see Donald Trump begin by… dousing his Syrian counterpart in perfume. This former businessman actually has his own fragrance brand. The bottle is shaped like a man’s breast. At the base is the President’s signature.

“This is perfume for men,” we first hear Donald Trump say, who then spills the beans and scents the Syrian president’s own neck, with some embarrassment. “This is the best perfume,” the White House tenant assured, before giving it to his guest.

“The other one is for your wife,” promised Donald Trump, before continuing with a smile: “how many wives have you had?

Some people saw it as an inappropriate statement, and should not be directed at any other leader in the world. Republican supporters demanded that they be humored.

JD Vance: “What a question”

This is also what the Vice President of America, JD Vance, wants to remember. As a guest of Health Minister Robert Kennedy Jr’s conference entitled “Make America Healthy Again”, he was happy to comment on this series. RFK actually asked him about humor perpetrated in government.

“I don’t know if you’ve seen these images circulating on social networks,” said JD Vance, which no one expected on this site. “The President met with Syrian President al-Shareh in the Oval Office a few days ago, and asked him: How many wives do you have? » The Vice President then burst out laughing, it was unclear whether the remark actually made him laugh or wanted to highlight an embarrassing moment for “his” president.

Rumors suggest the two men are at odds slightly because Donald Trump in several interviews refused to name JD Vance as his successor for 2028, mixing him up with another name. “What a question,” JD Vance continued. What a funny time. There are several levels to this joke, meta dimensions (Editor’s Note: double tier). There is a lot of humor in government. » Not sure this outing generated much laughter at the White House.
