LOL!! Are you guys serious right now.

Here’s a better resolution video with a timer!!

Nearly 30 seconds!! LOL!!

As it turns out, Macron admitted that he just didn’t want to let Trump get the upper hand in handshakes because he knows thats how he displays his dominance. And that’s how you get this ridiculous mammoth handshake.

Here’s a history of Trump’s other weird handshakes:

Of course they add the handshake between the Polish president’s wife and Melania that was falsely reported as a snub against Trump, which is stupid. But the rest of the handshakes are ridiculous….

UPDATE:

Here’s how Macron described their previous handshake war:

French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that there was indeed a deeper significance to the prolonged handshake he shared with US President Donald Trump in Brussels.

“My handshake with him, it’s not innocent,” Macron told the Journal du Dimanche in an interview published Sunday. “It’s not the alpha and the omega of politics, but a moment of truth.”

And…

In the interview, Macron compared his own handshake to his leadership posture.
“One must show that we won’t make little concessions, even symbolic ones,” Macron said.

The centrist European leader also likened Trump’s diplomatic approach to those of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Donald Trump, the President of Turkey or the President of Russia are of a mindset of power relations, which doesn’t bother me,” Macron said. “I don’t believe in diplomacy of the public invective but in bilateral dialogues. I don’t let anything go. That’s how one makes oneself respected.”

Sometimes a handshake is just a handshake, but not in this case…


Poster Comment:

They overlook the fact that Trump is a germophobe and dislikes shaking hands in general. These French leaders are kind of clingy and needy. Recall when Prez Hollande came to the White House, escaping his incredible popularity in France. He was so happy he stayed there for 3 days so he wouldn't have to go home. The Secret Service almost had to evict him to get rid of him.
