Macron straight-up turned Trump's skin white with intense G7 handshake
NICOLE GALLUCCIJun 9, 2018
The 2018 G7 summit is a nice opportunity for world leaders to gather and chat about important issues facing the planet. But more importantly, it's another chance for French President Emmanuel Macron to prove he can own Donald Trump in their relentless handshake battle.
On Friday night, the two men met to discuss tariffs and such, but they made sure to exchange a number of competitive handshakes before they parted ways.
Photos of the big moment show that Macron, who once again, DID NOT COME TO PLAY, squeezed Trump's right hand so firmly that it turned white with defeat.

Here, we see the two men engaging in what could very well be a friendly hug of the hands.
But when the grip is released we see Macron's white-as-snow thumb mark left on Trump's skin. YIKES.

Other handshake analyzers noticed the latest installment in the showdown, as well. And they seem to be impressed with Macron's strength.
BBC footage captured another shake that occurred when the two world leaders stood up.
"Arm wrestling? He'd be very, very tough," Trump is heard saying before pointing to Macron. The U.S. president then went on to explain, "He’s my friend. We’ve had a great relationship right from the beginning," and Macron extended his hand to deliver another powerful grip.
Let's imagine how that shake went down, shall we?

RIP to Donald Trump's tiny right hand. You lived a long life and made it all the way to the White House.

WATCH: Trump is getting crushed at his own handshake game
If you want to encapsulate why Trump's bravado bullshit is an abject failure in the simplest of terms, this handshake sums it up. Starting shit acting all tough, and then you find somebody willing to be tougher.
Is it juvenile? Maybe. But these folks have tried using words and reason, and the dude doesn't get that. Maybe when he's rubbing that Icy-Hot in tonight he might remember who not to fuck with.

Trump brought this on himself...now he gets publicly embarassed
If you havent seen it, look at "The Secrets of Body Language" and observe how people have sparring matchs with handshakes and eye contact. These world leaders are trying to make Trump their bitch in front of the world.
Yeah...
The power handshake was the shit.in the 70s 80s...
The world us ran by nerds now... they like FOH with that
The length or the patterns?
To distract/hide his gut.
