President Trump has a long history of bizarre handshakes but French President Emmanuel Macron might have him beat. Macron may have out-Trumped his American counterpart during a Thursday meeting in Brussels.
“They shook hands for an extended period of time. Each president gripped the other’s hand with considerable intensity, their knuckles turning white and their jaws clenching and faces tightening,” Washington Post reporter Phillip Rucker, who was in the room, wrote.
Trump is known for his extended handshakes with former F.B.I. Director James Comey and a variety of world leaders, include Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
