President Donald Trump was asked about his thoughts on the incident between French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron in Hanoi, Vietnam.
The incident made global headlines, so of course, the American leader also saw a few of them.President Donald Trump was at a press conference at the White House answering questions when he was asked about the incident involving his French counterpart, Emmanuel Macron.The incident the question referred to occurred when the French premier landed in Hanoi, Vietnam, for an official visit. As the doors to the plane opened, Macron could be seen having been shoved in the face with hands belonging to his wife, Brigitte Macron.
A video from the incident immediately became viral, with the French President and his office commenting on the moment as one that was merely a ‘joke.’
However, this did not deter President Trump from chiming in with his two cents about the issue when asked. A reporter asked him for ‘marriage tips’ for the Macrons, to which Trump replied, “Make sure the door remains closed. That was not good.” His comment over the issue made everyone present laught.
As the laughter subsided, Trump gave an update on the couple, saying that he had spoken to the French President and could report both he and his wife were doing well.“They’re two really good people,” Trump said, though he stated he was unsure what transpired between them, he knew the two were doing okay.
While the press conference went on without much else, people reacted to the President’s comments online. “That is hilarious, but good advice. Keep the door closed,” one person posted on X. “That was the best response,” another wrote. While another person chimed in with, “I don’t care who ya are…that’s funny!!!”
The incident has been talked about all over the world with people shocked at how it unfolded. While the French President has officially said it was in jest and is being blown out of proportion.
The President maintained his composure quite quickly after the incident. As he descended the stairs to disembark the plane, he seemingly offered his arm to Brigitte, who chose to hold the railing for support instead.
Seems like things seemed to have calmed down surrounding the video, but President Trump still had some ‘advice’ for his friend. What do you think of his comments on the incident? Let us know on the comments section on Facebook.
