Trump offers Macron marriage advice after slap by wife

President Trump offered up a tip for France’s first family to preserve domestic tranquility after his Paris counterpart Emmanuel Macron was publicly slapped by his wife Brigitte on a foreign trip earlier this week, the New York Post reported.

“Make sure the door remains closed,” Trump chuckled in the Oval Office while responding to a question about the stunning video of Madame Macron’s assault as the couple prepared to disembark in Vietnam Sunday night.

“That was not good,” Trump said of the video.

“No, I spoke to him and he’s fine, they’re fine. They’re two really good people. I know them very well. And, I don’t know what that was all about but I know him very well and they’re fine.”

The family drama was caught on camera through the open door of the French president’s official plane and left Macron staggered before he recovered himself and belatedly waved to watching reporters.

Brigitte didn’t take her husband’s arm when they walked down the stairs of the plane — and a lip reader told the UK’s Daily Express newspaper that she appeared to hiss “Dégage, espèce de loser” — or in English: “Stay away, you loser.”

“We are squabbling and, rather, joking with my wife,” Macron said Monday about the incident, before adding: “People are saying all sorts of nonsense. Everyone needs to calm down.”
