French President Emmanuel Macron said his extended handshake with Donald Trump before a NATO summit was “not innocent” and intended to show he did not make even small concessions.
In an interview with the Journal du Dimanche published on Sunday, the French leader said his interaction with the American head of state was “a moment of truth.”
“My handshake with him was not innocent,” Macron said. “We need to show that we won’t make small concessions, even symbolic ones, while not overhyping things either.”

pretty soon they'll all stop with the pretense and just put on aggressive male dominance displays instead of voting. it works for other primates.

Trump treated the European leaders like shit, we all hate him over here. He acted like a total cunt. In Germany even Merkels main opponent for the job ripped into Trump for how rude he was being to her. I'm sure you saw how he barged the leader of Montenegro aside at the summit.
Acting like a total stereotypical American bully boy especially with his stupid handshakes that he does to try and intimidate his rivals.

Yeah, fuck that blowhard bastard. If he thinks he can steamroll other leaders with his reality tv star swagger, he's got another thing coming. Trump will proactively damage US ties to Europe as long as he is in power.
