Trump’s bizarre sitting ritual prompts speculation as he shows Macron around gilded NYC apartment
A video showing President Donald Trump sitting on a pillow while hosting France’s Emmanuel Macron at his gilded New York City apartment has prompted speculation online.
In the footage posted by the French president during his trip to the Big Apple for the UN General Assembly, he is seen with Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelensky and visiting Trump Tower.
As the pair take their seats on the sofa, Trump can be seen moving a cushion to sit on, prompting speculation online that the 80-year-old president might be concerned about getting back to his feet or could be trying to make himself appear taller.
