Donald Trump has been dubbed “disgusting” after his controversial interaction with French First Lady Brigitte Macron. People think he made an “inappropriate” move
The President of the United States has been accused of making a “creepy” gesture toward Brigitte Macron that has been characterized as “totally inappropriate”. The alleged incident occurred after Donald Trump landed in France to meet with French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife.
He’s there to participate in the G7 summit in Evian, France, but observers were shocked by what transpired during his interaction with Brigitte Macron. A video has surfaced showing him participating in a “weird handshake tug of war” with her, though people have also called attention to another moment deemed strange as well.
Upon arrival, the U.S. President was observed holding onto her hand for an extended period, prompting widespread speculation. This, and the handshake, sparked a lot of debate.
Aaron Rupar noted: “Trump does his weird handshake tug of war with Brigitte Macron.” This accompanied footage showing Trump apparently maintaining a tight grasp of her hand, with the contact continuing as they spoke.
The moment sparked considerable discussion, with many deeming the behavior completely unwarranted, and some describing it as “creepy”. One stated: “Disgusting. Inappropriate gestures and mannerisms, too.”
Another observed: “He grabbed and shook Emmanuel’s hand quickly, but kept hers in a grip while she’s clearly uncomfortable. Then she does this quick shake movement right after he lets go that’s like she’s shaking off the disgust.”
A third questioned: “Why won’t he let go of her hand when she wants to disengage?” Meanwhile, a fourth also remarked: “She looked very ready to let go about five seconds in.
“Everything after that is her trying to kindly and politely get him to let go.” Meanwhile, separate footage shows Trump gripping Brigitte’s hand as the two walk together.
This triggered a wave of questions from online observers. One user wrote: “Holy smokes. Why is Trump holding hands with France’s First Lady Brigitte Macron in front of her husband?
“Did he just need help walking down, or did he think for a minute it’s Melania?”
Many who noticed the moment questioned whether he held her hand for a reason. This comes amid a growing number of concerns surrounding the President’s appearance over recent weeks.
Nevertheless, some felt that jumping to conclusions was unwarranted, with Trump’s supporters rushing to defend the President.
One remarked: “Macron was walking off the platform without his wife. Taking Trump and leaving her behind. Very inappropriate. Trump recognized this and acted like a proper man.”
Another added: “I think that’s an antiquated power move!” This latest incident follows heightened anxiety surrounding Trump’s handshake during the G7 event.
