Donald Trump has a notoriously weird handshake that only Justin Trudeau has been able to successfully beat. Until today, that is.
Newly elected French president Emmanuel Macron countered Trump’s death-grip in a minor arm-wrestling match that was described by IRL witness Phillip Rucker of The Washington Post:
“They shook hands for an extended period of time. Each president gripped the other’s hand with considerable intensity, their knuckles turning white and their jaws clenching and faces tightening.”
It’s noticeable that Trump just seems to want his hand back, which is exactly how anyone who’s ever had their hand (or pussy) grabbed by the president must feel. Thank you Emmanuel Macron, for winning this second important victory—the other of course being his defeat of psycho Marine Le Pen, lest France found itself with a Trump of its own.
I’m wondering if there’s an asshole-countering handshake the French learn in handsome politician school? Notably, the only other world leader to best the tiny hand vice has been of French Canadian descent…
Beau Travail!
