It's kinda funny how standing lessons obviously teach politicians they can't have their hands in their pockets, but then they don't know what to do with them and end up looking awkward. Macron looks normal here because his hands are doing something. I know this sounds weird, but look at them, it's the arms. It's like when you see people uncomfortable on a stage, it's always the arms.
It's why Napoleon always put one hand inside his shirt.
the answer to what to do with your arms is simple: finger guns
In some countries, this would have bad connotations. For example: the finger gun gesture has a bad connotation within Brazil, as it was the hand gesture that Bolsonaro used throughout his campaign and his government.
ah, good to know
