I think he was meaning to complement her, but it came out awkward.
Sometimes he seems like a regular guy who’s found himself in a Country Club party.
I don’t hold it against him...but when you are a billionaire, I am willing to bet no one corrects him on his Emily Post.
And she probably wasn’t bleeding from here “wherever” either.
Lesson for POTUS: When you don’t know what to say, KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!
And I’m sure she appreciated the comment.
Wasn’t awkward at all. She is French. She loved it. CNN can go to hell.
This explains the conversation I caught on my local radio station last night. I tuned in late and didn’t know the context.
The host asked women to call in to say if they would be offended if someone said they were “in good shape.”
Both woman callers I heard said they would not, and that they would view it as a compliment.
I would have told her she has nice bird legs, so it could have been worse.
I suspect that most all French women would appreciate the comment from Trump.
So let's see:
Donald Trump likes to flirt a little with a beautiful woman (CNN: This is "awkward" and "beneath the dignity of the office")
Barack Obama "prefers" the company of men (CNN: This a personal matter of "choice" and anyone who says otherwise is a homophobe)
Bill Clinton didn't earn the moniker of "B-J Clinton" for just any old reason (CNN: Boys will be boys and besides, all this was Monica's fault; or Juanita's fault ... but we don't want to discuss that one!)
Don't you just love the "objective" media?
...for your age....
I never met a woman who didn’t appreciate an honest compliment about being in good shape and looking attractive.
Sssssooooooo, CNN is accusing President Trump of lying....Why are their panties all knotted up this time?
These poor fellas, the next 2,748 days until the Presidential Inauguration, Monday, January 20, 2025 is going to be really rough on them...LOL, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I love it, one man PC wrecking ball.
Bill Clinton said a mummified woman looked good.
You have to forgive the media, it’s been a long time and they are not used to having a heterosexual man as President or having heterosexuals of either gender the White House.
It seems CNN can hardly go anywhere without creating FAKE NEWS.
truth is truth. if people find truth spoken awkward it’s their problem.
I was a young child and my grandpa asked me at the dinner table what was new today. I told him i learned how to put on a bra because I watched my mom today. Everyone laughed. It was yet another example in my few years of life to me to hide truth and not speak my mind when asked. It helped create problems for me with my family rather than everyone just deal in truths without feelings and perceptions in the way.
Macron’s wife looks to be fit/in good shape for her age, Trump just spoke truth. In my opinion she’s too unhealthy skinny, maybe over exercises. The difference between toned firm muscles and tight over overworked muscles.
...she’s “in such good shape” before turning to her husband and repeating “she’s in such good physical shape… beautiful”.

Give me a break. There ain’t a single solitary thing wrong with saying that. In my world it’s called a compliment.
