He grabbed his hand for a stroll down the colonnade. And he was so kissy, kissy it was embarassing. CNN put it all together on a clip earlier today.

“When the aging gorilla is confronted with the much more virile, new alpha-male, he shows submissiveness by grooming the alpha-male, but the gesture is actually a vain attempt by the old gorilla to humiliate his much younger rival.”

it's obvious that Trump feels extremely inadequate compared to Macron - in intelligence, virility, etc. The only way he is able to deal with the assault to his ego is by trying to embarrass and belittle Macron in public.

He will say or DO anything to inflate his own ego while trying to diminish Macron. It was a cheap shot that he tried to laugh off after he did it. He should not be trusted to interact with ANY leader, diplomat or ambassador because it is apt to be a national embarrassment.
