Notorious for offering his opinion on the topics of the day, President Donald Trump weighed in on the recent viral video that allegedly showed French President Emmanuel Macron being shoved in the face by his wife Brigitte.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy raised the video with Trump and asked if the president had any advice for the couple, to which Trump laughed and responded, “Make sure the door remains closed.” The slap was caught on camera through an open plane door after the couple arrived in Vietnam.
While Trump admitted that the video was “not good,” he said he had spoken to Macron and “he’s fine, they’re fine.” Trump continued, ”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.”
This prompted Elon Musk, the focus of Friday’s presser, to point to his black eye and share, “I’ve got a little shiner here.” He went on to blame his 5-year-old son for the injury, telling the media that he was “horsing around” with his son and asked the child to punch him in the face, which he did.
Oddly, after the Macrons’ video went viral earlier this week, the French president denied altercation.
Trump’s comments on the video are not the first time the president has weighed in on another couple’s relationship. Famously, in 2012, he tweeted about rumors that Twilight star Kristen Stewart had cheated on her co-star and then-boyfriend Robert Pattinson, writing, “Robert Pattinson should not take back Kristen Stewart. She cheated on him like a dog & will do it again—just watch. He can do much better!”
