#Macron shows what is called European leadership and what #Europe needs. 🤝 He has the finesse and the strength 💪 to stand up to #Trump. It shows once again how important it is to have a #united Europe that speaks with one voice. 🇪🇺 Et la langue française 🇫🇷 a visiblement impressionné Trump. 😁😉

Priceless how he touched Mango Mussolini's arm before calling out the lie that Europe will get all of the money back.

Simply brilliant.

@proscience The arm touching is such a pro move. It is the simpler things, really. Look also how he pats him on the back before they enter the building, *guiding* him in, as to say "I am the one leading". It's brilliant. Macron's an expert in this (as was Jean-Claude #Juncker by the way). It's really interesting to see how such small, touchy gestures can have such a strong psychological effect.

It's so powerful!

It might have even contributed to more descriptive headlines by the otherwise almost totally failing US "media".
