Exchange between Trump and Macron appears to be testy; lip-reader offers her take

…lip reader Nicola Hickling told the Daily Mail that the handshake was much more than just a casual greeting between the two leaders.

‘Nice to see you, so you agreed?’ Trump told Macron who soon turned away from the camera and muttered an inaudible response. 

‘Are you being genuine?’ Trump asks as Macron quickly replies, ‘Of course.’ 

The commander-in-chief then tightens his grips around Macron’s palm before shooting back, ‘Okay, so now I want to know why, you hurt me. I already know.’

Trump then squeezes Macron’s hand again as the French president looks down and away from the cameras.  

It’s not clear what the pair speaking about; however, it comes weeks after Macron was seen mocking Trump with world leaders. 

The two leaders have a colorful history together, often appearing to appear friendly, despite occasionally criticizing each other in public.

Speaking slowly and clearly Trump says, ‘I am making peace.’

Macron then taps Trump’s hand and replies, ‘Ah come on’; while Trump ignores and grasps tighter.

‘I only hurt those who hurt others,’ Trump tells Macron while pointing at the cameras.

‘I see. We will have to see about that,’ Macron says before pausing issuing a stark warning to Trump. ‘You will see what is about to happen.’

Trump concludes, ‘I’d like to see you do it, do it. I’ll see you in a bit.’
