Donald Trump was caught making an eyebrow-raising joke about the Syrian president's marital status at the White House this week.
But the US President immediately lowered the tone by giving Sharaa a spritz of $249-a-bottle Trump Cologne before jokingly asking him how many wives he has.
In an exchange captured on video, Trump said: 'This is men's fragrance,' as he sprayed some of the scent on Sharaa's beard while the Syrian leader smiled nervously.
'It's the best fragrance,' the 79-year-old said, adding that a second bottle of the perfume was for Sharaa's wife.
'How many wives? One?' Trump asked, as Sharaa replied in the affirmative and laughed. 'With you guys, I never know!' Trump said as he affectionately slapped his Syrian counterpart on the arm.
The Middle East leader appeared to ask Trump the same question back, and he replied: 'Uh, right now one.'

I don’t get it. Referencing the fact that Islam permits 4 wives doesn’t seem sordid. In fact, it might be characterized as culturally sensitive.
The key to humor is that there has to be an element of truth.
And there is.
It’s is not We keep pretending they have our culture. They do not.
I wouldn’t say his remarks were sordid, but considering the time and place, in bad taste. But that’s President Trump, always rough around the edges. Nobody said we were voting for Emily Post or Miss Manners, but for a guy who gets the needed things done.
All it’s got to do with anything is making Trump look bad.

nothing burger.
Well I guess that means the Epstein e-mail flamed out.
Daily Mail will always try to make DJT look bad.
Sordid my arse. I loved it when the President spritzed some on Sharaa, and then another guy from his entourage.
May the mark of Trump be always on your beard.
I suspect this is not the first time Trump met or spoke to the President of Syria. He probably knows the Syrian leader has a pretty good sense of humor and is accustomed to spontaneous behavior from Americans.
I doubt if President Trump would greet Kim Jung Un of North Korea that way. It’s too easy to make someone like Kim lose face in front of his countrymen.
Yup. Well, we don’t. The left knows they dont but get pissed when we mention it because it threatens their libtard worldview.
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly.
Or truth.
"Hey, Fatso!"
Regards,
There are plenty of Tajiks in ISIS. So it us legit to even ask what gender the “wife” is.
Doesn’t he look bad enough embracing a head chopper in the White House?
