The 10 funniest Donald Trump moments of 2017
5. His much-anticipated handshake with Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau.
Trump’s weird handpump thing was big news back then, and everyone wanted to know how Trudeau would handle it. He did this.

That moment Trump tried to pull that weird handshake bit and Trudeau was like not today, motherf**ker. Not today.pic.twitter.com/cR1dTPSPyZ

Up close this is an amazing handshake. Note how Trudeau is pulling at times and pushing at other times to keep his hand in the same spot. https://t.co/CSr7Oq36bm

Never has a handshake been analysed so closely. Well, until the next one.
4. When he met Angela Merkel
Trump was widely criticised for refusing to shake the German chancellor’s hand when they met at the White House – he could barely bring himself to look at her – and suggesting they were both wiretapped by Barack Obama.

Today we have a smart, level-headed and decisive leader in Washington, D.C.. Too bad she has to go back to Germany.

Look at the Pope’s face. LOOK AT IT!
This video is almost as good. Listen very carefully to what the Pope asks Melania, via his interpreter.

Your Holiness, you are spoiling us! The Pope also had a less than subliminal message for Trump when they exchanged gifts.

2. When he thought it was appropriate to throw kitchen roll at flood victims.

1. That time he was totally owned by French president, Emmanuel Macron.
Watch this – and watch it again.

So here’s what happened …
First of all Macron walks straight towards the US president before swerving away and totally ignoring him, Trump left with his hands out by his side like a total tit.
Then Trump tries to take revenge by yanking his hand towards him in that comedy handshake of his. And Macron yanks him right back. OWNED!
Here they are wrestling together. Er, we mean shaking hands.
We’re guessing Macron was rather proud of it, because he posted it on his own Twitter feed.

Macron walks directly towards Trump, swerves at the last second to greet Angela Merkel first instead. Spectacular. https://t.co/mygGx8nUsQ

The pair have a little history in this regard, of course.
