Other news outlets focused on Trump’s regret about appointing Jeff Sessions. Or his slap at Rod Rosenstein, Comey and others.
But this is what Moyers’ website loved:
“If you’ve been away from the news for the past 18 hours or so, the New York Times interview in which Trump rages against Jeff Sessions, Jim Comey, Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein, acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe and maybe the White House groundskeeper is at the link. That’s what everyone in the office is talking about. And here are some additional excerpts, featuring gems like this one about French President Emmanuel Macron:
TRUMP: He’s a great guy. Smart. Strong. Loves holding my hand.
HABERMAN: I’ve noticed.
TRUMP: People don’t realize he loves holding my hand. And that’s good, as far as that goes. I mean, really. He’s a very good person. And a tough guy, but look, he has to be. I think he is going to be a terrific president of France. But he does love holding my hand.”

Trump clearly doesn’t read the traditional mainstream media and his staff must think it isn’t safe to even mention what the mainstream media reports.
Washington (CNN)French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that there was indeed a deeper significance to the prolonged handshake he shared with US President Donald Trump in Brussels.
“My handshake with him, it’s not innocent,” Macron told the Journal du Dimanche in an interview published Sunday. “It’s not the alpha and the omega of politics, but a moment of truth.” …
Handshakes are a very big thing to this president (they are not talking about Macron. They are talking about #FakePresident Donald Trump), writes CNN’s Chris Cillizza. Trump seems to view the handshake as a sort of battle of wills and a battle for power all wrapped into one. …
n the interview, Macron compared his own handshake to his leadership posture.
“One must show that we won’t make little concessions, even symbolic ones,” Macron said.

If you don’t believe that Trump uses handshakes, in his own mind, to determine who the alpha male is in the world leaders’ pack, click the CNN link and watch Trump shaking hands with other world leaders and members of the government he doesn’t know how to lead legally and ethically.

Trump is always saying something inappropriate. He seems to lack the filter that most adults have. When Trump met Brigitte Macron, his greeting was strange and a bit creepy. His comment was, “You’re in such good shape. Beautiful!” He just cannot stop from objectifying women. Trump is an embarrassment to us all.

That DUMP is ILLITERATE. He can’t read.

Never mind I better not say what I would like to . To say the least Trump has bought stock in anger management companies, in order to profit off of the mental conditions his mouth and actions have created . I am hopping somebody does not take the treatment.

Have said this before, and I am not alone in pointing this out… Trump uses the handshake to bully people.
Notice the next time he reaches out to shake hands how he PULLS theater person to him…literally yanking him. He holds on and does not let know, probably hurting the other person…showing how ‘strong’ he is, and that he is in CONTROL!
THIS IS A SICK MAN.

I’ve had a few try that sort of crap on me and they have always regretted it. I have a pretty strong grip and I think I could crush his hand if he tried that stunt on me.
