As they were saying their goodbyes, Mr. Trump turned to Brigitte Macron and gestured toward her body. “You know, you’re in such good shape,” Trump said, before repeating the observation to her husband. “Beautiful,” he added.
Brigitte Macron was her husband’s former high school teacher and their relationship has drawn international attention because of their significant age difference
