'You're in such good shape! Beautiful!' What Trump told Brigitte Macron, 64, after awkward embrace when he refused to let her go
Donald Trump made a notable addition to
his long list of questionable comments about women on Thursday as he
told France's 64-year-old first lady: 'You know, you're in such good
shape.'
The compliment to Brigitte
Macron was made in front of her husband Emmanuel, the 39-year-old French
president, and Trump, 71, repeated it to him before turning back to Mme
Macron and saying to her: 'Beautiful.'
The
exchange was captured on a French official Facebook live stream. What
was not captured was Melania Trump's reaction, as her back was to the
camera.
However the American first
lady, 47, seemed to move closer to Mme Macron and put her hand around
her protectively as Trump spoke to her.
The
awkward exchange came after an also-awkward lingering embrace with Mme
Macron as she and her husband welcomed him and Melania to Paris on the
eve of Bastille Day.
Trump kissed Mme
Macron Parisian-style, once on each cheek, before taking both her hands
for a prolonged grip, in which he appeared to jerk her left arm towards
him as she appeared to be struggling to get him to let go.
It
was an off-script start to a carefully-choreographed visit to Paris
which on Friday will see Trump and Macron together for the Bastille Day
celebrations, as well the couple dining together on Thursday evening at
the Eiffel Tower.
Trump spoke to Mme
Macron as she and Melania left Les Invalides - the complex of buildings
that serve as a monument to the French military in central Paris - for a
tour of other site of the French capital
