Polish Government Seats Trump Beside Painting of Sobieski
 [BREITBART] President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... ’s first photo-call in Poland after his arrival in Air Force One was with President Andrzej Duda and saw him sat beside an oil painting of a prominent figure in Polish history and folklore -- the 17th-century king who kicked Islam out of Central Europe and is remembered as "the Hammer of the Turks". Warsaw’s Royal Palace, where the meeting took place -- lavishly reconstructed after it was dynamited by Nazi German troops during the Second World War -- benefits from a surfeit of grand rooms and hundreds of works of art. From oils of kings and statesmen by artists such as Rembrandt to impressive murals and sculpture, the Polish authorities had a great deal of choice for where to host the symbolic first meeting of President Trump’s first European visit. It may be seen as a remarkable coincidence, therefore, that of all the rooms and of all the paintings, they chose to sit President Trump besides a portrait of one of Poland’s best-known warrior kings. King Jan (John) III Sobieski is today remembered and celebrated in Poland, and elsewhere in Central Europe, for his pivotal role at the Battle of Vienna in September 1683.
