It is fast becoming tradition to ask how Donald Trump will embarrass himself when he travels to foreign countries.
During his trip to France, the answer is extremely cringe-worthy.
“You’re in such good shape,” he said to France’s first lady, Brigitte Macron, while Melania Trump stood beside him.
Then, turning to President Emmanuel Macron, he added, “She’s in such good physical shape. Beautiful.”
