Macron Rips Trump in the Most Weird Handshake Battle Ever
President Trump’s is famous for his downright vicious handshakes, but brave leaders of the world are starting to fight back and we have to stand with them.
Throughout his time in office Trump seems to have perfected his signature intimidating handshake, in which he firmly grasps the hand of his victim and powerfully shakes and pulls on it for a ridiculously long period of time.
On Trump’s international tour, his handshake was first challenged by the president of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon, but on Thursday morning the newly appointed president of France, Emmanuel Macron, made Trump’s hand pay for what it’s done.
At the U.S. ambassador’s residence in Brussels, Trump congratulated Macron on his “tremendous victory.” Then, the highly anticipated moment of truth came: The two went in for the handshake. MACRON WAS PREPARED.
Let’s take a closer look at Macron’s accomplished and slightly menacing face:

Best thing about this is not the handshake itself but Macron acting like it's totally normal 👋🏼 pic.twitter.com/nE15KO84yt
