Regarding his conversation with his wife, who is 25 years his older, a lip reader told the Express: “President Macron is seen leaning toward Brigitte as the airplane door opens.
She unexpectedly shoves him across the face. “Emmanuel looks uneasy and quickly raises his hand with a forced ‘Hi’ after realizing the door is already open and staff are watching the interaction.”
At that point, one of the staff members on the aircraft reportedly “visibly flinches, brushing her hand through her hair in discomfort.”
‘He’steps closer to Brigitte before composing himself and crosses to the other side,’ the expert said of Macron. “Moments later, he signals for her to follow him with ‘Let’s go’.”
The analyst said that the president was trying to restore his “public-facing image” by thanking the pilot and waving to the camera before heading downhill, when “things turn icy again.”
