Trump Takes A Sing At Macron’s ‘Black Eye’; Davos Sunglasses Jab Sparks ‘SHOVE-GATE’ Frenzy
US President Donald Trump reignited the internet’s obsession with “shove-gate” after mocking French President Emmanuel Macron’s sunglasses at the World Economic Forum in Davos on January 22. While addressing global leaders, Trump zeroed in on Macron’s aviator shades worn during a speech a day earlier, saying, “I watched him yesterday, with those beautiful sunglasses… What the hell happened?” The remark instantly sparked online frenzy, reviving memes and speculation. Macron had appeared indoors wearing Top Gun-style aviators, later explained by his office as protection for a burst blood vessel. The clarification, however, failed to stop social media from linking the moment to the May 2024 Vietnam “shove-gate” clip filmed by the Associated Press, where Brigitte Macron appeared to push her husband as he exited a plane in Hanoi.
