Christ on a stick

 

[Herr Schwarz]

Pretty good comedy there by Trump this is why folks like him I think. Every other second he flubs it.

This is the most awkward Tim and Eric sketch of all time.

 

[Boudica]

Is the end legit or edited?

im losing my shit at the responses

This is the most awkward Tim and Eric sketch of all time.

"What a beautiful handshake!"

 

[i-Lo]

What's with the fucking yank? Is this an American power trip thing? First, I heard americans clap after eating food and chant USA or something and now this?


Feel like someone ought to put him in place by either suddenly letting go and subsequently expressing, "WTF!?" if verbal response is too obvious OR pull his arm to mirror his act.

 

[Hydrargyrus]

Embarrassing to see, certainly

The face (and the tiny hands) representing 'Murica.

That's damn good.

Does Trump think people are trying to play thumb war with him when they shake his hand?

 

[meltingparappa]

You can see in the longer video from the OP that he's looking at a guy walking in.

But the rest of it pure unfiltered cringe.

 

[subrock]

He always pulls people so hard in handshakes.

I only just had this pointed out the other day and man does it annoy the fuck out of me. What a fucking dumbass "alpha" move.

It's a business power move thing, likely a relic that Trump thinks is still great.

What's up with Trump always patting someone's hand? It's fucking weird as shit.

Very accurate.

 

[Pickman]

Trump seems like the kind of guy who'd try to hurt your hand in a handshake to prove he was stronger, then joke it off while nursing the pain in his own hand when you don't flinch.

 

[Brinbe]

Really loves pulling ppl in

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Don't know how McMahon worked with him considering that handshake.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Don't know how McMahon worked with him considering that handshake.

A carny like McMahon know how to work a mark if there's profit involved.

 

[Emperor Bohe]

Lol it's funny how Donald looks more natural giving daps than he does shaking hands

Sigh, when will this be over

 

[Link1110]

So, Mr. Make Japan great again and Mr. アメリカを取り戻す don't get along? But they're so much alike. I thought they'd be BFFs

 

[JB1981]

shake shake shake YANK shake YANK shake shake

He seems to do this to everyone.

 

[Pixels]

What's with the pulling...

 

[RPGCrazied]

That handshake was awkward as fuck, seriously what is up with the arm pulling? He did that with Gorsuch too. Someone needs to slap this guy in the face.

 

[ImpracticalPassword]

Has he been calling him "Abe" this entire time?

Minister Shinzo and President Donald

yep. ded

 

[luxarific]

I really want to see Trump try this bullshit handshake shit on Trudeau when they meet on Monday. Trudeau is half his age and much stronger.

 

[xxracerxx]

Trump really doesn't know how to shake hands with people.

Surprise there isn't more Trump has Parkinsons claims out there.

Look at those power moves.

 

[Replicant]

It's more like "Yikes, this fucker is dumb" mixed with "Can't believe I let him grope my hand that long. X("

 

[RPGCrazied]

I bet he is squeezing his hand too to try and show these people he is in control. Lol What a mess he is.

 

[Spyder_Monkey]

All those trump supporters with anime avatars must feel conflicted right now.

 

[malfcn]

Trump is an ape.

Shit Gibbon.

 

[GoutPatrol]

His handshakes HAVE to come from the old school business world where it was a way to assert dominance. That just totally sounds like a Donald thing.

He should have learned the limp wrestler handshake from Vince and Linda!

 

[mrpoopy]

Tomorrow we'll see Trump thumb wrestling on SNL.

 

[PillarEN]

Trump clearly doesn't watch anime. No wonder he banned it.

 

[Wood Man]

Well, that was awkward and uncomfortable looking.

Looked like Abe was trying to get away but Trump kept pulling him back in.

 

[Unknown One]

*looks over to Abe* you're so handsome

Omg you're so damn handsome, the most handsome. I want to grab you by the penis, with the biggest hands.

 

[nubbe]

One of the replies

That's damn good.

yup, spot on

 

[Einchy]

Is janking someone's hand around when you're shaking hands an actual power move? I've never heard of anyone doing that, and if someone did it to me, I'd just think they were weird as fuck.

 

[bob_arctor]

Did he try this shit when he shook Obama's hand? Forgive me if this has been asked and answered already.

 

[Byakuya769]

What's up with Trump always patting someone's hand? It's fucking weird as shit.

I've watched enough Ceasar Milan to know what it's about.

 

[Ezalc]

Gotta assert your dominance by yanking people with those big strong hands huh Donnie.

Anybody else catch that he said something about strong hands at the end there? Dude's never letting that shit go hahahah.

 

[kess]

Best part was Abe holding on to the chair for dear life afterwards

There was a week or two in third grade when this was what the cool kids were doing but I haven't seen or experienced it since. But I'm not some insecure 70 year old businessman who is obsessed with his image and the size of his hands.

Of course it isn't in adulthood, but Trump is a fucking child.

 

[RustyNails]

Trump really doesn't know how to shake hands with people.

There is serious alpha stuff going on here. If you grab someone and pull them toward you, you're displaying your dominance. Abe notices this in the split second and pulls back, thereby protecting his own alpha boundaries.

 

[Fox Mulder]

What the fuck is up with donald yanking and tapping someone on the hand. Creepiest shit ever.

Dominance!

I had a boss that gave stupid try hard handshakes like he wanted to break bones. Compensating for something really.

i think its mostly done for presentation. The pulling especially. Makes the other person appear to be reaching out towards Trump. When Trump is far enough away it makes the other person appear to bow before him. Its all done to display subservience. Look at that little pat at the end he does here:

"Thats a good little boy!"

If you have to shake his hand make him uncomfortable. Step right up into his bubble. Get bad breath close. Shake his hand like you were General Zod. Make him kneel in pain. Put your arm around him. Like you are gonna make him a deal he cant refuse. Make his ass look weak.
