Politics Brigitte Macron donald trump emmanuel macron
Donald Trump tried his insane tug-of-war handshake on Brigitte Macron, and she was exactly as thrilled as you’d expect
Since there’s literally no point in Donald Trump involving himself in G7 discussions, because we’re pretty sure he has no clue what’s going on around him, the only reason for him to attend such conferences is to entertain us with his attempt to dominate Emmanuel Macron with his handshake.
It’s a long-running series. Here’s a taster.
The handshake battle between Donald Trump and Emmanuel Macron continues.

When Trump arrived in France for the latest summit, on Monday, his handshake game just wasn’t up to scratch.
🚨WTF! Donald Trump seems to LACK the strength in his right arm today to do his signature pulling handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron.
He also looks GRUMPY as hell today. What’s going on? pic.twitter.com/RLyv2S8Wyh

OH-MY-GOD! Trump is struggling to keep his eyes open as he meets with French President Emmanuel Macron.
This is out of hand now.

If we didn’t know he was teetotal, we’d swear he had a hangover. Turning 80 hits hard.
Since he couldn’t dominate the President, he did the next best thing – in his tiny mind – by trying the handshake on Brigitte Macron.

Thirteen seconds, and she was trying to escape for about nine of them. And was that a sneaky wipe of the hand when he let go?
Here’s how the internet responded.

She should have looked at him and said, "Let go of my hand right now or I'll spit in your face and kick you in the nuts." https://t.co/W8s9qKKz3X

Holy fuck, this is cringey. He wouldn't let her go despite her trying, she literally yanks her hand away at the end. Notice he didn't try that shit with her husband. https://t.co/a48iQrT6Og
