Reebok Trolls Trump’s Awkward Exchange with France’s First Lady, Provides Helpful Chart
“Are you a World Leader Greeting the Spouse of a Head of State?â€
Athletic footwear and apparel company Reebok has provided the President of the United States a helpful resource for the next time he greets the spouse of a Head of State.
The resource, a chart for determining when it’s appropriate to say “you’re in such good shape… beautiful,†is a response to Donald Trump’s awkward exchange with French President and First Lady Emmanuel and Brigitte Macron.
Upon meeting the Macrons in France this week, Trump felt the need to comment on the appearance of France’s First Lady:
