President-elect Trump dominated French President Emmanuel Macron during a tense photo-op handshake as the leaders met in Paris ahead of the Notre Dame cathedral’s reopening Saturday — with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky joining the pair afterward in a trilateral sit-down.
Trump and Macron met in front of the Elysee Palace Saturday, where the pair smiled for photos between a pair of guards as the president-elect gripped the French leader’s hand.
The move, reminiscent of a white-knuckle, prolonged grip the pair had during Trump’s first term in office, forced Macron to lean into Trump, before the president-elect let go and headed inside the building.
“President Trump just made Macron his b—h with one handshake,” one critic assessed on X.
Trump told reporters he and Macron would be discussing a world that’s gone “a little crazy” during their talks.

Two allies shaking hands with enthusiasm! Great !
It looks like Trump is going to snap his arm off like a chicken quarter.
Macron and Z look like two little gnomes/midgets next to Trump. And I’m not just referring to their physical size.
France is an ally? I just see a photo of Trump grabbing a pussy.
It's a friendly moment.
Lol! Emmanuel looks a bit uncomfortable in that clip. Like he might be in a little pain or something. Excellent!
After meeting Trudeau he must be getting back in the swing of things. :)
My dad taught me how to shake hands. He said shake like a man and that you mean it.
hee hee... ,)
Usually French or Euro leaders do the kiss on the cheeks thing no? Handshakes a bit unusual for them?
Hmm. Maybe M-Nuggets with some secret sauce.
If it were Hunter, it would be powdery.
Lol. So true
Wont be long and Trump wont have shake that little bastards hand.
He will be lucky to survive the next few months in office.
Just good business. Determine what you want to do. Meet the people that can assist you getting it there and get them in on the deal. Figure out together who and what they can supply and get the logistics established. Seal the deal with all parties and ship the goods whether it be services or product having it in place on or before it is needed at the agreed price and location. Simple good business practices. And this is why they have demonized Trump since the mid 20 teens. He scares the h-ll out of them with simplicity and success.

France isn’t an ally. It’s the retarded little cousin of Quebec for whom we feel sorry.
“The move, reminiscent of a white-knuckle, prolonged grip the pair had during Trump’s first term in office...”
I saw a close-up of Trump’s hand after that handshake and his hand was red and white. Macron evidently practiced for that and possibly was trying to make Trump go down on his knees or show pain.
“Trump had vowed to bring an end to the nearly three-year war sparked by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine by forcing a peace agreement”
Sounds like another media guy will soon be collecting unemployed for not using the Dog Whistle in his report:
“Trump had vowed to bring an end to the nearly three-year war sparked by Russia’s FULL SCALE invasion of Ukraine by forcing a peace agreement”
