As Macron and Trump bid goodbye to first ladies, Trump looks Brigitte up and down. 'She looks great.. beautiful'

(44,997 posts)Seems he read a cheesy self help book on how to exert power over people. What's with the twisted handshake, the elbow grabs, the arm pulls, etc. Trump is such a fucking clown.

(82,849 posts)It's like he read some "dominate your opponent" business book in the 1970s, and internalized every stupid little power play gimmick: The red tie, the "power" seat in a meeting room, the "GI-Joe-kung-fu-grip" handshake, and all the other nonsense. His dwindling pack of supporters just swoon over that manly man crap.

(11,845 posts)but in this case it also looks a lot like jackknifing- a sort of muscle reflex that affects people with senile dementia. My dad exhibited a lot of this, especially when he was struggling in social situations to appear jovial and cordial. It is also a source of concern for moving up and down stairs. The knee muscle jerks inward like a jackknife and you one can loose their balance. It is said that 45 fears stairs and is visibly unsteady on them.
No sympathy for the Devil here... just sayin.
