The retaliatory handshakes are a metaphor for other retaliations that the world's leaders will impose on the US because of this buffoon's behavior.

We'll be paying for Trump for a very long time.

flowed from your eyes. Then he'd laugh about it. Don't get me wrong. Daddy wasn't a bully. Hand squeezing was just his thing. I wish he was alive to squeeze 45's hand.

In an interview with the Journal du Dimanche published on Sunday, the French leader said his interaction with the American head of state was “a moment of truth.”

“My handshake with him was not innocent,” Macron said. “We need to show that we won’t make small concessions, even symbolic ones, while not overhyping things either.”

I'm loving this guy! He's my kind of "strong man". Well done sir!
