Every time President Trump meets up with French President Emmanuel Macron, they have a handshake battle that lasts far longer than any handshake ever should. It’s become something of a legend and I look forward to the new installment each new visit.
But this time, President Trump shook hands with a different Macron: Brigette.
Did President Trump tire of the effeminate Emmanuel?
Either way, this is pretty hilarious to watch: You gotta love it, a full 13 seconds mano-a-mano!
Ahh, just a few years ago no one knew. Now apparently you can prove it by a photo.
French First Lady Brigette Macron is preparing to present “photographic and scientific evidence” in court to prove that she is a woman.
French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife are currently suing right-wing podcaster Candace Owens for peddling a viral conspiracy theory about the first lady, calling it a “campaign of global humiliation.”
Owens has become one of the most vocal proponents of an online theory that Brigette was born a man, stole the identity of a woman and has been deceiving the public ever since. Many of the theories claim that the first lady was born a man named Jean-Michel Trogneux – who is actually Brigette’s brother.
In March 2024, Owens stated on social media that she would “stake [her] entire professional reputation on the fact that Brigette Macron is in fact a man.” However, she has also filed a motion to dismiss the Macrons’ lawsuit against her.
The French first couple’s lawyer has explained how the conspiracy theory had affected Emmanuel and Brigette, and described their plans to disprove the claims once and for all.
“It is incredibly upsetting to think that you have to go and subject yourself, to put this type of proof forward… It is a process that she will have to subject herself to in a very public way,” the lawyer said. “But she’s willing to do it. She is firmly resolved to do what it takes to set the record straight.”
The attorney noted there would be “expert testimony” that will be scientific in nature as to Brigette’s biological sex, and that the couple is prepared to prove she is a woman “both generically and specifically.”
One possibility raised was the presentation of photographs of the first lady pregnant and raising her children. The lawyer stated such photos “existed and would be presented in court where there are rules and standards.”
