On his visit to France for Bastille Day, Trump took some time to praise French President Macron's wife:


President Trump told French President Emmanuel Macron’s wife on Thursday that she is “beautiful” and appears to be “in such good shape.”

Trump made the comments to Brigitte Macron, the French first lady, and her husband after they toured Les Invalides museum along with first lady Melania Trump. The tour followed a formal welcome ceremony and came before bilateral talks at Élysée Palace, the French presidential residence.

Brigitte Macron, 64, is 24 years older than her husband — the same age gap that exists between the 71-year-old Trump and 47-year-old Melania.

The remarks were caught on a video of the tour, which was live-streamed by the French government on Macron’s Facebook page.

Trump has previously come under fire for his comments objectifying women.

On June 28, the president interrupted an Oval Office phone call with the new prime minister of Ireland to flirt with a female reporter.

“Come here, come here. Where are you from? We have all of this beautiful Irish press,” Trump said to Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar as he gestured for the journalist, Caitriona Perry, to come over to his desk.

“She has a nice smile on her face so I bet she treats you well,” Trump told Varadkar.



Gee . . . and I thought Melania said Donald was a fighter . . . not a lover.
