With the G7 summit beginning Tuesday in France, social media users claimed French leader Emmanuel Macron deliberately "humiliated" Donald Trump by not being there to greet him upon his arrival at the airport. Many posts shared a video showing Trump disembarking an aircraft and later appearing unsmiling during a handshake with Macron, suggesting the two events were linked. However, the viral footage omits important context.
