Macron didn't blow him off though? The arm rip though WTF

He kinda did by going toward him at first and then at the last second go for dat sweet Angela kiss. It's gentlemanly and appropriate, of course, but Macron doesn't do those kind of things lightly
 
Can somebody find some other video of a world leader pushing/pulling to one side another (without even a nod or anything) from sometime in the past? I mean there must be, if all that Trump did was something normal. If it were normal it'd happen all the time when these world leaders get together, right? I mean it obviously has nothing to do with Trumps boorish, egotistical behaviour is it? There's no evidence of that, is there!
 
Trump's a douche nozzle, we all know this and have 19mil examples of it. At this point shit like this is mundane when it comes to Trump.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
For a second I thought you were talking about the guy he rammed out of the way with a shoulder check.
Am I seriously the only person who noticed that?

Now what's the next step in your master plan?
Should have body slammed him to get in that photo.

Hey man, I'm sorry the rest of this thread saw fit to dump shit on you for holding a different opinion than theirs and call you blind, stupid and a neo-nazi.

Even though you're almost certainly wrong (his body language is too much of a giveaway), you shouldn't get this kind of shit for seeing a freaking GIF differently. FWIW, I kinda get where you're coming from, at the beginning of the gif he does kinda bump into the guy, but yeah. The criticism you got ITT is out of order.

Recepits please. Who is calling anyone a neo nazi except for you?

Well congratulations! You got yourself caught!
Look at his hand and facial gestures defenders.

The hand reached out to permit enough room for a forceful gesture. This is monster Hunter levels of charge up. It was premeditated.
Not once did he look directly at the guy before, after, or during to give even the slightest intent of apology or assurance that he wasn't being a cretinous asshole shoving his way to the front.

I've seen 4 year olds line up for milk and snacks before nap time with more respect than this.

It was a terrible interpretation of what happened and so he was called out for it. You're turning this into something it's not. He already owned up to it.. so I'm not sure why you're still defending.

So you got nothing? Figures.

Nah, using equivalencies from one post doesn't absolve your accusation.

"The rest of this thread" is one specific post. What's there to get!

You know what? You guys are right. Congratulations.
 
What else really stands out, is the woman putting her hand out to shake, he slightly lifts his hand, realizes its not a man, puts his hand down, points at her then lifts his chin and looks into the distance.

Classic asshole.
 
lol
What a petulant child.
I love how all the foreign leaders are ignoring him, leading him to make a desperate move for attention and self worth.

if this is sarcasm, ok. if not, she wasn't putting her hand out for a handshake. she was talking to the guy he apparently assaulted and made a gesture while talking to him. c'mon son

As much as we love to hate Trump, that's not what happened at all.

It looks like Trump was looking the other way and almost walked into him, before gently guiding him to one side. I don't think this is a big deal.

No? Just trying to be objective and rational, watch the GIF again. He backs away very slightly as he's heading right into him.

Seriously? That's not being objective; that's being contrarian.

He looks ahead as he puts his hand on the guy. He's staring ahead as he uses that hand to move him out of the way, following through all the way until he's squarely in front of the pack, and adjusts his jacket with a smug look.

This isn't anything major, nothing to start a war over, but it's glaringly obvious. It's a character trait on display.

I think you're partially right. You can't tell clearly, but when Trump is talking to someone to his right, I think part of him bumps into the PM from back. The proper way is to stop walking, but instead Trump pushes and forces his way around.

It comes off playful at first, but then he just has a stone cold look afterwards...

So I don't know what the fuck he's thinking

Being the devil's advocate isn't being objective, junior. There's a big difference between the two that people who claim to be objective in defense of bullshit need to learn.

Edit: I guess it's already been pointed out.

Junior, please.

I'm not a junior, that's my tag from way back. Would be really nice if people read threads before posting.

I'm going to throw out another theory, it was a playful shove. Like, as in Trump said something funny to him as he pushed him aside. The dude was giggling a little bit when it happened.
