President Donald Trump revealed that he spoke to Emmanuel Macron following the shocking footage of the French president being shoved in the face by his wife, Brigitte.
The moment got captured by the global media as the Macrons arrived in Hanoi. Brigitte Macron’s arms can be seen pushing Macron away on board the presidential aircraft in footage captured on the tarmac.
‘There was a video of the First Lady of France slapping her husband, Emmanuel Macron,’ Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked the president. ‘Do you have any world leader-to-world leader marital advice?’
Trump quipped in response: ‘Make sure the door remains closed.’
‘That was not good,’ earning guffaws in the Oval Office, where he was holding a send-off press conference for DOGE head Elon Musk.
‘I spoke to him,’ Trump said of Macron.
President Donald Trump got asked about the shock footage of French first lady Brigitte Macron shoving President Emmanuel Macron in the face
‘He’s fine. They’re fine. They’re two really good people. I know him very well, and I don’t know what that was all about,’ Trump said, choosing his words carefully.
‘But I know him very well, and they’re fine.’
That prompted an interjection from Musk. ‘I know a little shiner here,’ said the world’s richest man, whose black eye was visible throughout the event Friday.
Musk only later revealed the source of his injury. ‘I was just horsing around with Little X,’ Musk explained to the cameras and reporters. ‘I said go ahead, punch me in the face.’
The awkward topic prompted billionarie Elon Musk to quip about his own ‘shiner.’ He said he got his bruise when he told his son X to punch him in the face
