Transcript for Trump's awkward body language moments abroad

The president's body language on the world stage well let's make a few headlines especially in these moments take a look the First Lady. Appearances so watt president trumps hand away. And then there was the handshake with the new French president and then the moment president from seem to shell of his way. To the front of a NATO photo op our political analyst Matt Dowd is here so. Let's start Matt with the most recent incident there at NATO it looked like the president of Montenegro got a little shelves from a president trump about what happened. It looks like the president who likes to be thinner attention made sure he was the center of attention. You know I was thinking about this he's cattle Ike Austin Powers but instead of an international man of mystery. He's the international mystery of manners. And we had a hope now we can really. Really tell the tale of all those things he did. You know what Matt we can't help but. Noted that few interest being handshakes. On this trip as well but it got to back. You know Freud said sometimes a cigar is just a cigar but I think for Donald Trump I handshake isn't just the handshake. I think it's his manner that which he's done over the years if you look at pictures of him over the last twenty years this is what he does its way he exerts dominance and is how we acts it's of. Very strong handshake I think that's that's definitely duly noted but there are stronger in images visiting the western wall. In Jerusalem Matt and his meetings in Middle East a big picture using some of these awkward moments have overshadowed or we'll have an impact. On foreign relations. Well there's two audiences Amy there's two audiences that he has won the American public I don't think the troops can have any effect on the American public because an international trips hardly ever effective use of the American public. He's gonna come back here and next week we're going to be talking about something else he's in the middle of the other audience probably more importantly is the leaders and I don't think he gained any stature among those leaders I think they're used. See pictures of smirk she's see pictures of people rolling their eyes and so when those audiences at best it was neutral and in some cases wasn't one thing he needs to do. He probably ought to go ahead and hire a cheaper protocol which he doesn't have. Which allows him to tell him what things he ought to do. It's kinda like what we tell our kids before they go to kindergarten don't do this don't do this don't cut in line. Say this he needs a cheaper protocol. Aren't that I think you just audition for the job carried out in. I keep I have to check and I think you met.
