Hier, j’ai reçu ce mail supposé venir des U.S.A., mais j’ai des doutes:
Dear Houatfeu,
A word of advice for a European leader. If you really need to go to the White House for an official press conference and a lunch, and if you are the elected President of a small country with no nukes, here what you should do. First, go to Macy’s and buy a cheap shapeless grey suit (150$), a pair of pointy black shoes (35$), a formless white shirt (30$) and a non-descript tie (22$). At the White House, you will be as ill-dressed as everybody else, and it will be appreciated. At the press conference, keep your head down, with a humble smile and if they speak to you, just say thank you, I am very grateful.
If they ask you to sign something without reading it, and if you reply that you will have to consult your lawyer, be prepared, all hell will break loose. You shall be shouted at, indexes will be pointed at you, you may even be shove around a little bit. If ever you don’t flinch and still refuse to sign, you will be shown the door and kicked out in the street. Positive side is, you will not have to ingest the pesticide-laden salad, the chicken with hormones, antibiotics and steroids, and the apple pie. You can walk to the “Immigrant Food @ the White House” restaurant, at 1701, Pennsylvania Avenue. They have affordable world foods. If you manage to remain at the White House through the press conference and the lunch, try to remain calm, stay alert and always keep a low profile. Under Mr Biden, it was the President’s dog that used to bite people. Now it is the President himself.
