UPDATED: In case you've missed all the headlines, France's President Emmanuel Macron (and his wife) have been visiting the Trumps over in the US. Here are some of the moments that have got people talking.
First, the internet had a field day when the Trumps and the Macrons had a photo shoot in the gardens of the Mount Vernon mansion.

This photo looks like a promotional still for a movie called 'mon frère adoptif est un idiot' where two brothers who have never met go to their mother's funeral and everything goes horribly wrong. pic.twitter.com/GIdb2JA2xr

There were also a fair few tweets commenting on Macron's unusual hand gestures during this photo shoot:

And let's not forget Dandruff-Gate, when Trump wiped some apparent dandruff from Macron's shoulder.
“When the aging gorilla is confronted with the much more virile, new alpha-male, he shows submissiveness by grooming the alpha-male, but the gesture is actually a vain attempt by the old gorilla to humiliate his much younger rival.”

But this was nothing compared to the attention to what people are calling Le Bromance, or, the relationship between Macron and Trump.
