From Vietnam this morning:

Yes, that is the president of France being slapped in his face by his wife, who is 24 years older than him and used to be his high school teacher.

Oh, you thought I was joking about the high school teacher bit? Nope!

People noticed that President Macron was doing the "Arthur fist" after the couple tensely departed the plane.

The president's office, meanwhile, laughed it off and said it was a "moment of closeness."

From HuffPost:

An Elysee official played down the moment, denying it showed an argument between the couple, who have been married since 2007: 'It was a moment when the president and his wife were relaxing one last time before the start of the trip by having a laugh.'

'It was a moment of closeness,' the official said.

The Frenchies keep voting for this guy. Just amazing.
