Paris: During his first official visit to Paris, the US President Donald Trump praised French first lady Brigitte Macron (64), for being in “such good shape”.
“You’re in such good shape. She’s in such good physical shape. Beautiful,” Trump told the French President’s wife on Thursday, who was standing next to US First Lady Melania Trump.
Earlier in the day, at the welcome ceremony in Paris, Trump and Brigitte Macron extended their hands to one another, fumbling to make contact for a handshake, before they embraced for a traditional kiss on the cheek. Afterward, they rejoined hands while they continued to talk, reports CNN.

Trump told Brigitte Macron that she was in good shape and looked great because he literally doesn't know how else to look at women.

Donald Trump: You're in such good shape.
Bridgette Macron: You're like a morbidly obese garden gnome that became sentient.

“Trump telling France’s First Lady ‘you’re in such good shape’ epitomises men toeing the line between compliment and sexual harassment,” wrote Twitter user Alex Berg, a freelance video producer and writer who works on feminist and gender issues.
Jen Siebel Newsom, a documentary maker and actress, tweeted: “Mr. Trump – Women do not want to hear unsolicited remarks on what you think of their bodies. Its gross, and deeply inappropriate.”
The couples dined together at a gourmet Eiffel Tower restaurant On Thursday night. However, the White House declined to comment on the exchange.
