Even Australia's PM complimented Trump on how warm he was with he and his wife, and said it was very different to when he visited Obama.

It's how Trump imagines power games work.

Listening to Macron and he is smacking Trump without naming him.

Will be interesting to see if Trump starts up the twitter.

Power play. Very juvenile and obvious attempt at one-up-man-ship.

In trying to embarrass Macron, Trump once again revealed his own deficits.

So much more subtle than the dandruff-flicking efforts of Trump!

Even with the accent, Macron is making very good points. I guess he is the wrong guy the GOP asked to do the joint speech to congress.

I give Macron credit for not kneeing him in the balls when he did that dandruff flick thingy.

That is a well known and very old method of degrading someone that anyone born from the early 1800's onwards is fully aware of as a tactic to demean.

I once witnessed, during a break in a collective bargaining session, a company VP perform that stupid move upon an opposing committee member to which he got the response: " I have a minor scalp condition while you have a major personality disorder, which one do you think has the best chance for improvement?" after which, with coffee cup in hand he slowly sauntered away leaving that VP standing there wilting from scornful glances coming from the entire room, CEO included.
