French President Emmanuel Macron paid a visit to the White House on Tuesday. While there President Trump dusted dandruff off of the shoulder of Macron.
“We have a very special relationship, in fact I’ll get that little piece of dandruff off,” Trump stated while the two were posing for photos. “We have to make him perfect. He is perfect,” added Trump, flicking his fingers across Macron’s dark-suited shoulder.
Was there actually dandruff on Macron's shoulder? Or was President Trump just trolling, something he absolutely loves to do?
Take a look.

The moment resulted in an awkward chuckle from Macron, though it must be said he took the moment in stride.
The Twitter reactions were great:
Oh my gosh. Did Trump just flick dandruff off Macron’s suit?!? And announce it to the press corps?? What world are we in??? ????

This was the first state visit of the Trump presidency. This is the second time the two leaders have met one on one. Macron stressed the important of this visit on Twitter:
Brigitte and I are thrilled and honored to be in Washington DC.
This State visit is very important for our people. pic.twitter.com/QDBhTzedB0— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) April 23, 2018
That's not all. They also shared a very awkward handshake and a kiss.
Say what you want about these two, but their meetings are certainly entertaining.
