Moments after Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi shook President Donald Trump’s hand, Trump got down on his knees and kissed el Sisi’s shoes.
“Love your shoes. Boy, those shoes. Man … ,” Trump said, as reporters were being escorted out of the room.
It’s unclear why Trump would kiss the Egyptian President’s shoe but the shoes appeared to be black boots, similar to those Trump was wearing, but shinier. Maybe Trump is heavily invested in the shoe company and wanted to create controversy to sell more shoes.
The shoe kissing wasn’t observed by video cameras in the room, but was captured in an audio recording.
Trump held meetings with several Arab world leaders Sunday morning, ahead of a planned speech on confronting Islamist extremism and later a forum on Twitter.
