Trump on Macron: "He's a great guy smart, strong, loves holding my hand"...

Not even satire...Good grief..


WASHINGTON — President Trump rarely says he needs his hand held for anything. Unless he’s around President Emmanuel Macron of France.

“He’s a great guy — smart, strong, loves holding my hand,” Mr. Trump joked about his French counterpart in an Oval Office interview with The New York Times on Wednesday.

“People don’t realize, he loves holding my hand — that’s good!” the president said of Mr. Macron, who invited Mr. Trump to attend Bastille Day festivities in Paris last week.

the kind hearted and observant President Macron just didn't want Trump to wander off. He's probably noticed that Dolt45 seems confused and has done so a few times.
