My favorite moment is when Trump loosens his fingers to maneuver out of the handshake and Macron grips Trump’s hard one more time as if to assert that the handshake won’t end until Macron is good and ready.

You can see 45 was trying to pull Macron towards him and was rejected in that move. Folks—besides us—are paying attention and advising world leaders.
I already like the dude for having an older wife and clapping back at people who are stupid about it. While he may be liberal compared to tRump he is actually more of a moderate and is viewed as pro business in France.
World leaders are on to him. This is his handshake with the president of Turkmenistan the other day:
In the case of Trump, it tells us everything about him. All that bluster, but then completely submissive in the face of literally any actually world leader.
Hahahaha. I was thinking the same thing and wasn’t going to post it. So thanks. Allo mes beaux amis.
Things are going well with his speech at Nato.
He made Trump tap out. You can see that Trump releases his grip first and Macron is still holding on until Trump’s tiny fingers tap down.
As Stephen Colbert says, Trump sits on every chair as if it’s a toilet.
John Oliver observed that he sits on every chair like it’s a toilet. And it’s true - he really does look like he’s taking a dump everywhere he goes!
The hilarious part comes in at about :06 in the bottom video, where you can see *45 try his “yank the other person in” trick but Macron doesn’t let him. Watch *45's right shoulder roll around as he tries to keep it in the socket.
Just for an instant after they stop Macron drops his eyes and his disdain is obvious, before he regains impeccable diplomat face.
Watching the NATO ceremony live and some European leader (didn’t catch who it was) stepped up to shake hands with Trump and Trump tried to pull his patented “yank the guy toward you” handshake but the guy yanked back harder which got Donnie unbalanced for a second. I’m sure this leader will be branded as a loser once…
Contrast this with the inevitable make-out session Macron and Trudeau will be having shortly.
Well, when your head is as far up your ass as Trump’s is, I imagine it’s difficult to sit down normally.
I like how the closed captioning went to (Speaking French) instead of translating French words to English.
Can someone teach Trump HOW TO SIT ON A GODDDAMN CHAIR?!?
Katmandu, I apologise for my tone in the later conversation; though I stand by my words. I could have worded my response more diplomatically, and I went to do just that in an edit, but was too late — you had already dismissed. We simply had a disagreement, and I could have been more polite about it. This was my…
I just want to remind everyone that some cultures - yes, even right here in America - find long nails beautiful. Plenty of black women wear long (false) nails. So, maybe not super-practical, but I do want people to understand how some of this criticism can come off as culturally tone-deaf.
Especially when the person who wants to mend fences in this manner is usually the one who started the drama in the first place. I’ve also found that this person really just wants the opposition to agree that they are completely at fault and will be the first one to go shouting about if the other party doesn’t…
