The most symbolic image was his handshake with Trump at their first meeting, in Brussels. After some friendly chatter, the two gripped each other's hands so tightly before the cameras that their jaws seemed to clench. It looked like Trump was ready to pull away first, but Macron wasn't quite ready to disengage.

Macron later described the handshake as "a moment of truth" -- designed to show that he's no pushover.

"My handshake with him, it wasn't innocent," Macron told newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche, in comments confirmed by his office. "One must show that you won't make small concessions, even symbolic ones."

I guess when you can't win even the smallest election, you have to cling to insignificant things like this.

Leave it to a frog to think you can overpower someone with a handshake. Unreal.

Yea, the 5'9" 160 pound French globalist socialist freak who married his 70 year old high school drama teacher/child molester is a real tough guy. The effiminate left needs to find something other than manliness to harp on, you're one of the biggest bunches of limpwristed pussies on earth right now.

It's like Macron read a Tony Robbins book in preparation of meeting Trump and bought into that drivel.

I'm sure the historical accounts will be unending!

Moral victories where you can get them, I guess.

Macron is married to his Aunt Ethyl but is now all of the sudden an alpha.

Not the subject of the OP or what I was referring to. Why bring it up in this circumstance? Was that victory ever in doubt? It was a nobody VS a perceived NAZI. Congrats to the turd sandwich!

When you make a public statement about the "intent" of your handshake, then claim victory in achieving that intent, it defines "moral victory". Nothing tangible...just something to make you feel better.
