Any excuse to touch his Emmanuel.
YAY, Donald Trump's dashing boyfriend is in town! They say French President Emmanuel Macron is the "Trump whisperer" and oh boy, they are right! This state visit hasn't been as weird as when Trump went to France and did a handshake contest with Macron for approximately 40 minutes while their wives were like "gah, get a sex dungeon for aggressive homoerotic S&M handshakes." It's been much sweeter than that this time, because now they're more comfortable and intimate together, and they don't need to compete quite so hard for who can play grabby-hands the longest. (At least they haven't done that in public.)
It's not that there were NO weird handshakes between Trump and Macron. There were weird handshakes, clearly:

She desperately wants to try out the Polonium cheesecake recipe Putin gave her the other day.
I'm no great fan of Macron but he knows how to play Trump, just for fun like a violon d'Ingres.
On their first encounter, he beat him at Trump's crushing handshake ploy.
Trump has probably been practicing a counter-handshake strategy and what does Macron do?
He gives him the male-on-male double cheek kiss. La bise!
You can see Trump's shock and confusion.
