Because, unlike some American voters, Mr. Macron recognizes what a weak, bullying gasbag Donnie is.

Forewarned, Araud said he would alert Macron.”

Nice advance work by Capehart.

Serious people don’t judge others by the strength of their handshake.

They judge them by the length of their fingers.

Their stubby, tiny, vestigial fingers.

On their stunted, little, baby-like hands.

So exactly how is trump going to try and get revenge on Capehart and the WaPo for releasing sensitive information and acting against american interests?

For the first half of that video, Trump looks like he has no idea where he is or who he is.

Concussion, drugs, or Alzheimer’s, do you think? Or some combination of the three?

I bet Trump can’t even produce 90-lbs. on a Jamar hydraulic hand dynamometer. He’s a light weight. I’d like to see Sean Hannity and Trump be given this test.

What will be more interesting is how Trump attempts to diminish and insult President Macron, who is clearly not impressed by our would-be tyrant.

Wow I’d seen this before, but the way Macron left Donald standing with both hands held up while he went over to Merkel, funny as hell!

That was such a smooth move… disrespecting the pResidentEvil by choosing to greet Angela Merkel…

It’s the same in the Army…

You could always tell who the insecure piss-pots were by their uniform decoration.

If you see a guy with more than 2 placards hanging off his marksmanship badge, you’re dealing with a new LT out of ROTC, or a fobbet…

Also, his answer is that of a guy who is too embarrassed to admit, he doesn’t know what half that shiny shit is for either…

“Um, I think this one is for placing 3rd in a science fair in 4th grade?”

Had to look that up. I like it. It just sounds slimy.

What I like is how Macron just won’t let go when Trump repeatedly tries to disengage. Macron owns him.

See… it’s clearly unfair of the French President to embarrass Trump so thoroughly when his hands are so much larger than Donald’s…

I’m waiting for the French President to put a statement with a shit eating grin, “I apologize if I hurt your hand, sir. After my staff warned me of your reputation for aggressive handshakes, I expected you to squeeze as well, and was shocked when you did not, and also at your struggle to wrap your fingers around mine. That was unfair, and I hope you were not too seriously injured…”

I never thought I’d live to see the day I’d be rooting for French superiority…

Macron must’ve practiced with the FFL Special Ops people. Crushing!
