President-elect Trump’s handshake with French President Emmanuel Macron at a meeting in Paris on Saturday sparked widespread social media attention. Trump, who traveled to France for the reopening of the Notre Dame Cathedral, met Macron ahead of the event and their handshakes quickly went viral online.
The gestures were widely mocked and praised, with some users calling out Macron as needing a “hand massage” after being allegedly twisted and pulled by Trump during the handshake. Others drew parallels to previous encounters between the two leaders, including a 29-second meeting in 2017 where Trump’s handshake was seen as tugging back and forth.
Trump’s handshakes have been infamous for years, with notable incidents including pulling Russian President Putin’s arm during a G-20 Summit in 2019. The president-elect attended the Notre Dame reopening ceremony alongside high-profile figures such as first lady Jill Biden and Prince William.
