First of all, were including the above video from CNN and HLNs Holland Reid because her commentary is just that good.
Whats in the video, you ask? Oh, just French president Emmanuel Macron greeting a bunch of world leaders during todays big NATO event. You know the one: Donald Trump seemed to shove a dignitary, then he lectured the other leaders for a while when he was supposed to be talking about NATOs Article 5, and then Angela Merkel talked shadily about not building walls.
Speaking of the German chancellor, look at how Macron greets her! In Reids words, he shaded Trump in the process by ignoring him juuuuuuust long enough to make it kind of weird. After that, Trump and Macron engaged in Trumps classic power struggle handshake, but the Frenchman came prepared and pulled right back.

anger and a smugness when he thinks he's put something over on someone. Otherwise, his affect is flat, his face utterly blank.
Macron is a smart man, even though I disagree with him on many things. He knows what Asshole is and how to play him.

Then pulled a quick detour. Just to help drive the point home.
