If President Trump is meeting with a foreign leader, you know what comes next…
i don't want the trump macron meeting to happen primarily because i cannot read another analysis of a handshake

…too late. Handshake critiques are now part of the pool report:
Pooler @AndrewBeatty reports that Trump and Macron just had a handshake that was "fairly normal this time."

And, of course, coverage from the blue-check brigade:

But this time it’s President Trump’s handshake with the First Lady of France that’s drawing all the attention:

“Awkward”? Maybe. But that’s not stopping anti-Trumpers from turning it into something awful:

“The handshake of death” it’s being called:
Trump tries to overpower Macron's spouse in his handshake of death

And the president has been accused of “manhandling”:
Trump manhandling Ms. Macron in retaliation for getting handshake-owned by her hubby.

“Groper-in-chief” even though there’s no groping:

It even earned a “crikey,” whatever that really means:
