Is there a post on DU already discussing the "normal" handshake between

Trump and Putin?

What happened to Trump's signature tug-of-war handshake? I saw him shake Putin's hand twice, and both of them appeared to be cordial and respectful of each other's space.

1. There's Twitter video of the handshake

It's a little weird for Loser 45. Not aggressive, PLUS he does a little arm pat thingy

2. Why was he feeling Putin's elbow?

Looking for cards up his sleeve?

3. Clearly the alpha is Putin. Trump demured to him b/c well, Putin is the godfather

And that elbow pat is a "I am happy to see you. I care about you. You are my friend"

Treason. We have a treasonous bastard in office. God help us all.

4. He's Putin's bitch and he knows it.

He would never pull the "power shake" on him if he knows what's good for him.

5. Trump was the subordinate shaker this time...

He got under Putins arm and tapped it - WTF is that?

Like he's supporting Putins arm while he shakes...

Trump should have given him "the capper" if he wanted to be on top...(the capper is when you shake - and put your other hand on top of the shake)
