It seems Donald Trump can hardly go anywhere without creating an awkward moment, and his latest has been directed at France’s new First Lady Brigitte Macron.
The US president and his wife Melania had just finished a museum tour of Les Invalides with the Macrons, and were saying their parting farewells when Donald approached Brigitte.
Looking her up and down, he tells the 63-year-old former teacher that she’s “in such good shape” before turning to her husband and repeating “she’s in such good physical shape… beautiful”.

Maybe it’s because my family culture is largely Southern, but I’ve never perceived ‘ma’am’ in that way...
She’s really old. For crying out loud.
Yes during G-20 they ignored Melania and paid all this attention to Micron’s legs. It was posted here.
Yeah, I can see how flattering a foreign leader’s wife could spawn an international crisis.
Typical response from CNN.
It's seems CNN can hardly broadcast anything without making fools of themselves.
I am sorry, but why are you so sure? Don't we all remember Trump's incredible stamina from the 2016 campaign? A stroll through a museum would tire him?
This should be an international incident. As a woman I’d much rather have a full genital mutilation than have another country’s leader tell me I am in good shape. /s
There was an article yesterday in the WSJ that started with a line like “If Donald Trump sang the Star Spangled Banner it would be seen as a dog whistle to racist whites” or something similar. There is nothing he can do that won’t be shamed or scorned by the globalist Cabal.
How about Bill Clinton?
But a conservative 70 year old President is offensive for saying someone is in good shape.
So he went to France with this anti-gay rhetoric? I’m sure she was absolutely offended.
It was better to compliment her body than mention how old her face looks. Strange features. She looks like she could have been ET’s great-aunt.
For 63, she looks great.
The media wants to make an issue out of things that aren’t really an issue.
“My teacher asked me what the capital of North Carolina was and I said Washington DC and she said ‘no, you’re wrong.’ I said you’ve got a lumpy butt. She got mad and yelled at me and I pissed in my pants. And I never did change my pee pants all day. I’m still sittin’ in my dirty pee pants..”
Let’s see.. someone is in their 60s and another person compliments her, tells her she looks great, etc.. maybe in an awkward way, but sincere and not lecherous. Who wouldn’t appreciate that? Why not? She looks to be in great shape for being in her 60s. Good for her.
When I see her I wonder how a female teacher twenty years senior to her high school student could toss away a marriage and children for 18 year old beefcake. And this guy looks more like strawberry shortcake.
There’s enough paint on that woman to cover a small apartment complex.
“Oh but we were soulmates.” Trollmates maybe...
It's not like he called her "Jocasta."
What is freakish, is for a 39 year old man to choose to be married to a post-menopausal woman.
I think Mohammed did the same thing, so perhaps that’s why he’s popular in France.....
She looks like the Cryptkeeper. Gah. Mssrs. Macron and Trump are entitled to their opinions, but I won’t pretend I think she looks anything but ghastly.
*snicker*
And to think, this network wasn’t at all upset that Bill Clinton was getting BJs in the Oval Office from a very junior intern.
