Teasing the US President online has become a pastime for everyone from dictionary compilers to world leaders
Emmanuel Macron
Trump's meetings with world leaders have provoked widespread discussion, from his holding hands with Prime Minister Theresa May to a rather testy exchange with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. But the President looks likely to have the most trouble with his new French counterpart Emmanuel Macron. His tweet in reaction to the Paris accord pull-out was widely believed to be an attack on Trump.
While in a Nato meeting, Macron reportedly squeezed Trump's hand so tightly that their "knuckles turned white", say journalist. The Frenchman then refused to let go even when Trump tried to pull back.
