so Trump doused the Syrian President with his cologne [View all]

President Donald Trump greeted Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa at the White House on Monday gifting him two bottles of his signature ‘Victory 45-47’ scent, including one for the foreign leader’s wife while cheekily asking asking “how many” he had.

The meeting marked the first visit to the Oval Office by a Syrian head of state since the country’s independence in 1946. Al-Sharaa, 43, a former rebel commander once hunted by the U.S. with a $10 million bounty, seized power after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad last December.

In one clip in the Oval Office that circulated online on Wednesday, the president presented al-Sharaa with a bottle of his cologne, spraying it on the foreign leader’s neck.

“It’s the best fragrance,” Trump insisted, proceeding to spray a member of the Syrian cabinet as well.
