President Treats Women in France Same Way He Treats Them in America
Donald Trump is again embarrassing America abroad. The U.S. president flew to Paris Wednesday night. Thursday morning he and the First Lady were greeted by the President of France, Emmanuel Macron, and Brigitte Macron, his wife, a former school teacher.
Upon meeting the couple, President Trump exchanged customary kisses with Mrs. Macron, but then grabbed and yanked her hand, as AmericaBlog and others reported.
Here’s it is in slow motion:
The French press was shocked, as were many here in America. CNN is calling it “awkward.”
But the American president’s inappropriate behavior did not end there.
In the video at the top, clipped the official French presidential Facebook page by IBTimes, Trump tells Mrs. Macron, “You’re in such good shape.”
He repeats it then say, as she again steps back from him, “Beautiful.”
The France correspondent for AFP first noticed the remarks:
French news site L’Express called Trump’s yanking of Macron’s hand “strange,” and in this Google translation says, “his handshakes are now scrutinized.”
The strange habit of the tycoon of real estate is known, especially as he often does not hesitate to crush the phalanges of his interlocutors.So much so that his handshakes are now scrutinized, or even diverted as a message to pass. Like the one that resembled a contest of force, during his first meeting with Emmanuel Macron at the summit of NATO last May, seen as “fierce” by the press at the time.
