People are absolutely captivated by President Trump’s interactions with foreign leaders. Heck, I even find myself looking forward to watching clips of his greetings. I especially love clips and photos of President Trump interacting with French President Emmanuel Macron. The dude is such a beta male and looks like a pipsqueak next to President Trump. If you haven’t seen the G20 photos of President Trump and Macron, well…ya gotta. They’re hilarious. Here’s a preview:
Macron looks like the ultimate Trump fanboy (I think he’s a closet fan, honestly). He probably has Trump pjs.
That brings me to this. Trump recently visited France (Bastille Day celebrations) and at the parade, he shared the most awkwardly long handshake with Macron. It lasted around 25 seconds.

The Evening Standard’s analysis cracked me up. It called this moment another instance of “the battle of the Alphas.”
The bizarrely long encounter is the latest incident in what has been dubbed “the battle of the Alphas” between the world leaders.
Macron? An Alpha? Excuse me– HA HA HA HA HA! There is no battle there.
I don’t care what MSM says. That’s a 50/50 handshake. Trump wasn’t forcing Macron to hang on that long. It was an even distribution of awkwardness. That’s my final word on handshake-gate.
