Hitler's terms seemed mild: Germany would occupy and rule the northern half of France and its Atlantic coast; the southern half could remain an autonomous state under Petain, with its capital in the sleepy resort town of Vichy. But he insisted that the armistice be signed in Compiegne, just outside Paris, in the same railroad car where Marshal Foch had made the Germans sign the armistice in 1918, the site marked by a stone tablet placing blame for the war on "the criminal pride of the German empire."

The setting in the Trump Tower is no more than a mild gag, not another excuse for wholesale Sellarsization. Donald Trump does not appear from behind a bush. The singers just sing, and sing beautifully. What a relief...
