Trump wipes dandruff off visiting French President Macron

US President Donald Trump, right, brushes dandruff off French leader Emmanuel Macron's suit collar in the Oval Office

President Donald Trump on Tuesday made a show of flicking dandruff from the suit collar of visiting French President Emmanuel Macron, saying it was a sign of the two leaders' "very special relationship." Trump made the surprise gesture as Macron, the first foreign leader to be honored with a state visit in Washington since Trump took office 15 months ago, stood at his side for a photo opportunity in the White House's Oval Office. "We have a very special relationship, in fact I'll get that little piece of dandruff off... We have to make him perfect, he is perfect," Trump said to a laughing Macron.
