So what’s it all about?
Liberals, of course, are melting down over the odd moment, but I suspect it was part of a private joke between the two.
Macron was clearly amused, laughing at the president’s goofy antics. He later told reporters that Trump’s gesture “wasn’t innocent,” but declined to say anything more.
