I thought it was funny to see Macron get his revenge for the rag-doll incident, putting his hand on Donald's knee with that paternalistic implication of dominance, just as he normally does.
I look forward to seeing a photo of Macron grabbing Donald's arm and leading him in the style of a game-show host, as if to say : 'Come with me and I'll show you what you would have won..!'

(26,289 posts)No doubt it was suggested that he be polite and proper, and maybe keep his trap shut, during this visit. And he's doing all he can to go against sage advice.

(3,975 posts)If you can have all five fingers be straight then you are not afflicted. I've had two surgeries already. It's a totally fked-up genetic disease.

(5,812 posts)Its awful. My left hand is very bad. Have had it treated with a new technique. Injection, no surgery.

(16,184 posts)should I send him two or three chocolate cakes with double dip ice cream? Just to cheer him up on this rainy day.

(81,466 posts)Thatll leave a mark. And thats just the temporary physical one. The mental dominance move will hurt a lot more.

(61,698 posts)you can see that Macron is pulling him forward. I hope trump lost his balance.
lunatica
(53,410 posts)Either explanation is fine with me. Serves him right for trying his MAGAgrip handshake on his betters.
Ilsa
(61,698 posts)He doesn't want to be there and be reminded of Macron's bigly parade that he couldn't have. He hates travel, and doesn't want to deal with trying to look like he feels something over Armistice Day.
calimary
(81,466 posts)Good. Squeeze that hand, M. Macron! Squeeze it for us, M. Macron!
Merci beaucoup!

Grammy23
(5,813 posts)Out of him. Keep a check on trumpolinis crotch. It will either be damp or there will be the tell tale bulge of the Depend guard hes forced to wear. I might recommend he invest in some Depend underwear to protect against other accidents. Like when the arrest warrants are issued for his multiple crimes against the United States. 😳 💩💩 😂😂😂
sarge43
(28,945 posts)It's just been reported Moron won't be going to the US military cemetery, Belleau Wood, because ... wait for it ... it'll be raining.
Grammy23
(5,813 posts)Raining? Evidently he has forgotten that epic photograph of Cheney, bundled up like Nanook of the North, and still shivering like a trembling aspen tree. His lips were blue, but he was at least present and counted. tRumpolini apparently has decided to just dispense with any pretense that he is there for anything other than a few photo ops and to see how many world leaders he can insult. And to think his dumbass base thinks THAT is real leadership. 😵🤨😳
