French President Emmanuel Macron blew off Donald Trump and greeted Angela Merkel first

Macron is a gentleman. Trump is an ignoramus bully. Simple. as. That.



French President Macron Blows Off Trump, So Trump Tries To Tear Off His Arm


By Jason Easley on Thu, May 25th, 2017 at 3:58 pm

French President Emmanuel Macron blew off Donald Trump and greeted Angela Merkel first. This resulted in Trump trying to separate the French president's arm from his body.


Here is the video of the Macron approach and swerve:

Trump had his arms out and thought that he was going to get to greet the French president first, then oh no, rejected.

Another view of Trump trying to show Macron a classic power move straight out of Don Draper’s boardroom:

For good measure, Trump also lost a handshake battle with Macron:

This is seriously getting embarrassing. As pleasant as it is not to have to deal with the stress of Trump in the United States and tweeting, the downside is that he now gets to humiliate the entire country in front of the rest of the world.

The world is literally laughing at Trump, which is why we must remind our friends overseas, that the majority did not vote for the clown who is currently entertaining you on this international tour. The Trump circus is exclusively sponsored by Vladimir Putin.

Germany is respected and admired while America has become the laughing stock.
