French Pres. Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, joined Pres.Trump and first lady Melania Trump to plant a tree on the White House’s South Lawn.

Now before you go any further, you have to know that I think Macron is the weeniest, nerdiest little dude ever. I mocked him pretty hard for looking like Trump’s #1 dweeby little fan at G20 last year.
And remember that one time Macron couldn’t stop shaking Trump’s hand?

OK fine. It was an even distribution of awkwardness. But STILL.
Every single time they’re together, Macron comes off as a fanboy. I’m sorry, but it’s TRUE. He probably has a Trump onesie.
Pictures from the current visit are starting to emerge, and I can’t help but notice that Macron is workin’ the classic Trump thumb. Like all the time.

The Daily Mail has more recent thumbs up pictures from this trip as well.
Upon further review, it appears Macron is really digging Trump’s thumbs up vibes. He channels this regularly.

Maybe I’m the only one, but I think this is hilarious. Macron is such a wee little man who loves Trump’s signature move. It cracks me up.
