Last year the United States Of America elected their new president after 8 years under the leadership of Barack Obama. And like a majority of Americans, many people across the world had a literal facepalm moment. Barely anyone expected the short-tempered, racist, sexist, tantrum throwing and possible Twitter-addict, Donald Trump to win the presidential election.
Since this event hasn’t really affected the rest of us (yet), Trump in the Oval Office has been a constant source of entertainment for non-Americans. Remember when he said his ‘nuclear button‘ is bigger than Kim Jong Un’s? Hilarious!
And so when the French president, Emmanuel Macron and his wife visited the White House today for the first state dinner hosted by Trump, the world kept a close watch on the US leader.
And dear old Donald did not disappoint.
In today’s edition of bizarre actions by Donald Trump, he wiped off a piece of what he claims was dandruff, from the shoulder of the French president, Emmanuel Macron. With the whole world watching.

It could’ve easily been a piece of lint or a crumb of croissant. But, oh no, not according to Trump.
And to make things just a tad more awkward for Macron, this is what Trump was saying as he groomed his buddy:
“We do have a very special relationship. In fact, I’ll Get that little piece of dandruff off you… We have to make him perfect. He is perfect.”
Awww… Isn’t that just sweet? Such a loving friend!
Twitter obviously celebrated the little ‘private moment’ between the world leaders.
1. So cute!

2. Love transcends all buddy.
After watching Trump do that creepy pinky finger dance on Melania’s hand, try to kiss Macron ‘like a Frenchman’, attempt to use a shovel, and pretend to brush dandruff off the President of France’s shoulder – I just don’t know how Pence can still be in love with him.

3. He’s going to be heartbroken.

4. I doubt so much thought was put into it.
Let’s just say Trump and Macron today were engaged in a little something known as… “primate grooming.” https://t.co/kquE1yQzcx pic.twitter.com/NIzpPxafAF

8. Not the meds.
Did this REALLY happen or is it all the meds I'm on… "We do have a very special relationship. In fact, I'll get that little piece of dandruff off." https://t.co/jGdZ96PKlr pic.twitter.com/gAkaVyN3mO

While there has been news of a growing bromance between the presidents of both nations, I doubt Macron had signed up for this level of intimacy. Did give us something to laugh about on a Wednesday morning though!
