Simple. Macron just holds his wife’s hand…both, if need be…and when Trump makes his hand grab move, Froggy just shows his occupied hands, maybe with that tilted side glance guys use when they want to say “Yeah, this is dumb, but the wife…”. Trump could prise the hands apart, but that would risk showing how much smaller his hands are compared to hers. ---
