>Speaking to Arthur Schlesinger, Mrs. Kennedy remarked "I loathe the French. There's not one French person I can think of except maybe two very simple people. Maybe Boudin, who's so un-French. You know, they're really not very nice. They're all for themselves."
lal at how she said this after being snubbed by De Gaulle at a state dinner when he wasn't moved by her "See, I know who Mallarme was. I'm wicket smaht." attempt.

>named Jacqueline
OH NONONO
>OH HONHONHON
ftfy
Kennedy bros...
I can actually respect her somewhat for acknowledging that she is not actually a French woman unlike most amerimutts who we wuz as their ancestors of choice.
Unlike 90% of Italian-Americans.
yeah yeah she was of French ancestry herself
>Bouvier
we know
>De Gaulle cynically and prophetically remarked "She will end up on some tycoon's yacht."
De Gaule was such a fricking chad
French people have always and for good reason held open disdain for amerimutts. Amerimutts in turn throw tantrums about it and do ridiculous childish things like "freedom fries", thus justifying the disdain.
i dont blame the french americans are the bottom tier white people if you can even call them that culture less cesspool made up of judeo Black person loving society
Everyone holds Americans in open disdain, except for the British, who are by now an american colony, and poor post communist countries who weren't exposed to Americans until recently.
>Everyone holds Americans in open disdain, except for the British
Anon, I don't know how to tell you this...
Despite what you might think, the british love to suck american wiener. They constantly marry americans, and move to america. They have a very americanized view of things. I remember talking to a londoner and I was shocked to find out that he bought into prosperity gospel and became obsessed with it, and I was even more shocked to find out that his friends did too. They have an americanized cuisine as well.
Just about the only non-american thing they do is that they're very unabashedly sexually trashy. Their women don't hide how whorish they are. Everything else though, it might as well be an official state of the USA. They left the EU just so they could get vassalized by America, which is a fact that can be proven by their extradition of Julian Assange at the US's request.
lmao. relax paddy.
Irish are heavily americanized as well. Your shared language (English) has made it easy for America to dominate you culturally and politically. You have willingly become a dialect of the USA.
and you're from where, exactly?
>Ughughugh I can't dispute your argument please tell me where you are from so I can attack you personally instead
Better luck next time
personal attacks are all you made, and concealing your own country of origin makes it hard to understand your frame of reference. you know that, it's stupid to mince about on the point. just come out with it mate
More mutt cope. Only right-wing politicians love the USA, and even then they're just forcing it for political reasons. The average British person quite openly disdains amerifats.
>Just about the only non-american thing they do is that they're very unabashedly sexually trashy. Their women don't hide how whorish they are.
That is American, silly, specifically Los Angeles.
In the current age universities are the reason why people become americanized.
France itself (the French State) has to fight to stop university people from importing American woke ideas into France, like inclusive language (like the americans who say latinx)
Exact opposite. You would do things like accept our cash during the first world war and then have a screaming fit about paying up. Completely honorless as a nation, but you get a pass nowadays because you're too irrelevant for it to matter.
>The Eisenhowers were less than pleased to cede the White House to the Kennedys and Mamie was as bad as her husband about it. She brushed off Jackie Kennedy as a lightweight and "that college girl." When the new presidential couple were taken on a tour of the White House in early December 1960, Jackie was still recovering from John Jr.'s birth via C-section on November 25. Mamie neglected to inform her that there was a wheelchair on the second floor of the White House she could use. Jackie could sense the hostility from Mamie but remained composed and said nothing. Although weak and in pain, she dragged herself through the tour and finally collapsed when she got back home. When asked why she was so uncourteous as to not mention the availability of a wheelchair for Jackie, the outgoing First Lady just said "She didn't ask."
how spiteful can you be?
>David Eisenhower, her grandson, married Richard Nixon's daughter Julie on December 22, 1968, bringing the two families closer together. The Nixons regularly invited Mamie to the White House, for example, including her in their Christmas dinner.
lmao. joke's on her.
Jackie didn't seem that healthy tbqh. She had two miscarriages, one C-section birth, and a child that died soon after birth.
I somehow don't think she was the problem here, more like her husband was riddled with STDs and probably infected her which caused all those difficulties with her pregnancies.
Miscarriages aren't as uncommon as you think. They're incredibly common. Somewhere between 10% and 25% of pregnancies end in miscarriage. Most of them unnoticed by the mother.
Laura Bush had a terrible track record with pregnancies and she lived in a later generation with more advanced health care.
tl;dr Mamie that tough old Midwestern gal just thought her successor was a vacuous Northeastern charm school bimbo
That's the impression I get here anyway.
>Soon after completing her education at Wolcott School for Girls,[5] a finishing school, she met Dwight Eisenhower...
though that was in Colorado. still quite a long ways removed from the floofy Northeast and most of the girls there were set up to become the wife of some future bigshot farmer/rancher/oil baron. Mamie's parents expected her to marry a guy like that and thought a lowly Army lieutenant was beneath her.
To be fair to her I've only the slight proximity to the North-East and I know waht insufferable wanna-be-aristocratic homosexuals they are.
Based salt of the earth boy like Ike is a thousand times better than those wasp or wisc fricks.
>Openly discredit the campaign of your own VP, even having already served your two terms, and cast doubt on his credentials.
>He loses in a narrow election rife with fraud, casting control of the country into the hands of the opposing party.
>Frick these coastal, city-slicking dandies. How'd they end up in MY Whitehouse? They aren't like me!
Pathetic
Eisenhower never super-loved Nixon but he still fully expected and wanted him to win, being the staunch party man he was. I do agree however that him and Mamie, being the Midwesterners they were, and having lived many years in meager conditions without a permanent home over his Army career, absolutely did consider the Kennedys effete yacht club Northeasterners.
Nixon hated the motherfrickers too. Both him and Pat were from very humble backgrounds and had the same distasteful impression of JFK being a daddy's money pretty boy.
>Nixon hated the motherfrickers too
That must be why he took all those trips up to Hyannis Port with Jack during their congress years
>Arthur Schlesinger
This guy was a serial liar, don't forget.
he invented a lot of bullshit mythology around FDR and JFK. if he gets credit for anything it's writing his biography of FDR in the 50s when it had only been about a decade since his presidency and many of his inner circle were available to interview and their memories of his administration were still fresh and they hadn't forgotten things with the passage of too many years. of course he couldn't get access to a lot of documents still considered confidential or top secret, but oh well.
>two Pulitzers
HOW YA LIKE THEM APPLES?
It's weird how much of this modern aristocracy debutante shit still goes on in America, completely unnoticed by everyone until you look up where politicians' wives came from.
Laura Bush, Michelle Obama, Melania Trump and Jill Biden couldn't be more different than the 20th century first ladies.
Maybe not Melania. The others are actually educated. Bush, Obama and Biden are extremely well educated and all possess advanced degrees.
ITT: Frogs attempting to portray an offhand comment by a First Lady about the French being generally insufferable, which is already commonly known, as somehow an embarrassment to America's national honor. De Gaulle spent his entire administration seething impotently at "perfidious Albion" and the "Anglo-American sphere of influence." What an overrated hack kek.
>Jackie's initial impression of the White House was a less than flattering one. "The decor here reminded me of a cheap Midwestern hotel," she said.
Americans have no culture and have awful taste in aesthetics so this is very believable actually
But at least Truman and Eisenhower (and LBJ) were honest about being flyover state rubes. The Kennedys wanted to LARP as European aristocracy.
>The Kennedys wanted to LARP as European aristocracy.
Nah, if anything they wanted to be the people who spearheaded a burgeoning American aristocracy.
Joe Kennedy was a mobster, and paid for his family with blood money. Same as if Al Capone's son ran for political office. Of course normal people would look down on a criminal family.
