Snicker! Putin ignores Macron and Merkle to greet Trump
***
I thought that was significant also because Russians are not effusive or expressive and we see Putin smiling as he shakes Trump’s and Melania’s hands. THEN Putin pat Trump’s arm as he returns to his place on the dais.
It seemed Putin couldn’t contain himself. So very un-Russian.

I think he displayed a genuine fondness for Trump while completely snubbing Angela and Macron.
I think Putin intended to snub these leaders, while he warmly greeted Trump and Melania, who gave him a huge smile. Watch Macrons wife, her face turns hard. Merkle understands the message.
