President Trump recently shared some amusing "marital advice" directed at French President Emmanuel Macron following an embarrassing episode that unfolded earlier this week.
The incident, which quickly gained international attention, involved Macron's wife, Brigitte, and occurred during their state visit to Vietnam.
According to Gateway Pundit, the French President faced public embarrassment when, upon the opening of the airplane door, Brigitte was seen smacking him in the face. Despite the awkward situation being captured on film, Macron attempted to maintain composure by smiling and acting as if nothing had transpired. However, as the couple descended the aircraft's stairs, Brigitte's refusal to hold his hand left Macron visibly tense, with a clenched fist betraying his discomfort.
The topic surfaced during a press conference held in the Oval Office on Friday, where President Trump and Elon Musk marked Musk's final day as a special government employee and head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Fox News' Peter Doocy broached the subject, asking Trump, "This week, there was a video on board a plane that showed the First Lady of France slapping her husband, Emmanuel Macron. Do you have any world leader-to-world leader marital advice?"
In response, President Trump delivered one of his trademark quips, eliciting laughter from those present. "Make sure the door remains closed," he remarked, drawing hearty laughs from the room.
