The second attempt looked like diplomacy filing for a restraining order. Awkward doesn’t even begin to cover it,” read one reply.  Another noticed, “He was moving in for a kiss on the mouth. Classy lady too not slap the s–t out of him. Macron will remember that moment.”  Another poster added, “She definitely put her hands on his arms to keep him from pulling her closer. It looked pretty obvious that he was going for some full frontal contact. Disgusting.”  “Her body language clearly says she is uncomfortable, especially the point where he leans closer and she moves back. Creepy Don,” expressed one Trump critic.

Trump has long faced criticism over his treatment of women, his business practices, and his conduct in his personal life. Critics have also accused him of bullying behavior dating back to his rise in the 1980s. As he has aged, detractors say Trump has become even more comfortable displaying that side of his personality in public. Critics point to his forceful handshakes with world leaders and his encounters with the wives of foreign officials as examples. If that personal frankness means trying to physically strong-arm his global counterparts in a tug-of-war style, Trump will put his ego before anything else. ‘Slap Him’: Trump’s Cringeworthy Lean-In Toward World Leader’s Wife Backfires — As She Swerves Out of Reach in the Nick of Time ...read more read less
