Lip-reader reveals Trump's comments to Brigitte Macron at G7

A lip-reading expert has offered an interpretation of comments made by Donald Trump to Brigitte Macron during the G7 summit in Évian, France. As French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife greeted world leaders, Trump shook hands with the French President before turning to Brigitte Macron, shaking her hand and kissing her on both cheeks.

Lip-reader Jeremy Freeman analyzed footage of the encounter, suggesting Trump said, "Ah Brigitte, mwah, mwah. Wow." The inclusion of "Wow" reportedly indicates Trump was impressed by the French First Lady, according to the Irish Star. This moment quickly became a topic of public discussion due to Trump's interaction with Macron.

Many observers noted Trump's prolonged handshake with Brigitte Macron, which some described as a "strange hand-pulling game." Social media commentary ranged from "Disgusting. Inappropriate movements and manners" to speculation about whether Trump mistook her for his wife, Melania, or was simply assisting her down from a platform.

Conversely, some supporters of Trump defended his actions. One comment suggested that Macron had stepped away from his wife, leaving Trump and Brigitte Macron behind, and that Trump acted "like a true gentleman" in response to the perceived awkwardness. The differing interpretations highlight the public's varied reactions to Trump's diplomatic interactions.
