The Macrons and the trumps are walking as a group on the lawn at the White House:

Macron and his wife are holding hands, occasionally putting their arms around each other, etc. donald and Melania have barely acknowledged each other and aren't even walking next to each other (she a couple of feet behind them)

Says quite a bit!

I think she wanted to take the gold shovel, hit him over the back of his head with it and bury him under the tree. Rotten, stinky fake presidents are good fertilizer.

...she put on a big smile, almost like she was terrified, and when he turned away she scowled at him:

....that's when I started feeling sorry for her. She shows many signs of a battered woman, whether physically (probably not) or emotionally (most certainly yes)

Do you really need to guess?? Then Macron stepped back and allowed the two ladies to enter ahead of him. Very gentlemanly of him. Meanwhile, Mr. Illmannered himself was halfway down the hall, leaving his wife and dinner guests to fend for themselves. What a boor. You’d think BY NOW the asshat would have gotten word that people notice those little niceties and that he doesn’t seem to have any. Allow me to say it again. What a boor! 🤭😡🤔

But if you recall when he and Mrs. Toad went to the White House, he got out of the limo and let Melania climb out unassisted. Then when they all finished the photo-op to go inside, he turned on his heel and went in the door like a big dog ahead of even his hosts. Michelle and Barack escorted Melania in the door since Mr. Toad couldn’t be bothered.

I think what needs to happen is the White House mail box needs to be crammed with etiquette books that he is required to read and then give a book report. Oh, wait....he doesn’t read. So I guess he will continue to be a boor until he is booted out of office. That will be a happy day. There might even be dancing in the streets!

She's much older than her husband and chumpenfuhrer has already thrown a low-key diss toward her when they first met.

He paused for her to exit first then she put out her hand and they walked down the stairs together - reminded me of the Obamas.

tRump has NO REGARD for anyone but himself so it is impossible for him to show any. He tries to fake it from time to time when he knows the cameras are on him, but usually he thinks only of himself and his needs. Kinda sad. But that’s the way it is with him. I hope someone will explain how a person gets to be this way. They will probably try to pin it all on his mother, but I figure his father had a hand in it, too. Or maybe he was just born this way.

For a second after I read your comment, I thought you were referring to Macron. Then I thought, “wait a minute. This is Malaise.” No way you meant anyone but Maggot breath.
