President Trump and President Macron have once again had another round of epic handshakes – perhaps it would be fair to call it “arm wrestling.”
These people bother me!
I don’t know how or when this came to be, but this is at least the fourth or fifth hilarious installment of this game they’ve played.
And I think Trump won again…

Here were the last few installments:
President Trump and French President Macron continue their historic tug of war
President Trump is in France today to meet with President Macron, President Zelensky and see the newly reopened Notre Dame Cathedral…
But all anyone wants to talk about is Macron’s repeated mischievous handshakes.
And I’m here for it!
You just have to like it, as George says below, “Everything he does is calculated” and it’s no coincidence that he keeps giving her the massive “twist your arm” handshake.
This was the third major insult to Macron by President Trump today.

Colin Rugg put a timer on it and showed that the handshake lasted 17 seconds!

Which might seem like a lot to you, but in 2017 they went for 29 seconds:

It’s even more fun when you see him eagerly shaking hands with everyone:

And then Macron got a big shock!

The only person who could surpass Trump was President Modi, be it:

Looks like President Trump is pretty pleased with how bad this went!
And I guess we have to end this moment…not with a handshake, but hey…you’ve got to get the money back somehow!
