1. Looks to me like trump* is doing the minimum to 'go through the motions'

He's offering a limp, non reciprocal, half assed hand shake.

[Joe Chi Minh]

34. I suspect it's actually dupuytren's contracture. 'dupuytren's contracture is

apparently, with our characterstic British flair for pronouncing French words, loosely approximated by medical staff as 'Doopootroo's contracture'.

I thought it was funny to see Macron get his revenge for the rag-doll incident, putting his hand on Donald's knee with that paternalistic implication of dominance, just as he normally does.

I look forward to seeing a photo of Macron grabbing Donald's arm and leading him in the style of a game-show host, as if to say : 'Come with me and I'll show you what you would have won..!'

[Siwsan]

37. And I suspect he's just a rude, ignorant, arrogant bastard

No doubt it was suggested that he be polite and proper, and maybe keep his trap shut, during this visit. And he's doing all he can to go against sage advice.

[lunatica]

38. Thanks

I love getting reference information!

[OMGWTF]

42. I have Dupuytren's Contracture in both hands and I'm 99% sure Traitor Tot does not.

If you can have all five fingers be straight then you are not afflicted. I've had two surgeries already. It's a totally fked-up genetic disease.

[TruckFump]

56. I have it, too.

It’s awful. My left hand is very bad. Have had it treated with a new technique. Injection, no surgery.

[PatSeg]

2. Oh ouch!

Trump will be even more pissed than he is already.

[marylandblue]

3. Macron knew Trump has a weak grip from previous experience

So he just immediately squeezed very hard, which made it impossible for Trump to grip at all.

[mitch96]

53. Also two fingers on the last (pinky)knuckle prevents wrapping said pinky around the hand..

Well played Monsieur...

[Blue Owl]

4. Put 'er in the old vice...

[NurseJackie]

5. I'll always love this photo showing Macron's thumbprint on Trump's hand...

... back at the G7 meeting.

[dalton99a]

7. That was awesome

[PubliusEnigma]

11. Trump has terrible circulation. No wonder his brain is damaged.

[NurseJackie]

12. It would not surprise me to learn that he's diabetic.

[violetpastille]

29. +1

[onethatcares]

54. if that's the case

should I send him two or three chocolate cakes with double dip ice cream? Just to cheer him up on this rainy day.

[calimary]

45. Oh yeah!

That’ll leave a mark. And that’s just the temporary physical one. The mental dominance move will hurt a lot more.

[dalton99a]

6. Squeeze tightly and yank forward in a sudden motion

[Joe Chi Minh]

28. Like the Portuguese PM did ?!

[malaise]

8. Got your tiny hand there

you vile fucking MAGAcretin

[peekaloo]

9. Trying to peel that shrimp cocktail.

makes it look like he dislocated his index finger

[PubliusEnigma]

10. Grab him by the tiny hand!

[ProudLib72]

13. Tee hee!

[SunSeeker]

25. I was gonna post that one! Love it!

[Ilsa]

31. From the way trump's skin is drawn forward,

you can see that Macron is pulling him forward. I hope trump lost his balance.

[lunatica]

46. Or Trump may be pulling his hand back trying to escape the pain!

Either explanation is fine with me. Serves him right for trying his MAGAgrip handshake on his betters.

[Ilsa]

49. That, too! In fact, more likely.

He doesn't want to be there and be reminded of Macron's bigly parade that he couldn't have. He hates travel, and doesn't want to deal with trying to look like he feels something over Armistice Day.

[calimary]

43. He handles trump like a dad would with an unruly child.

Good. Squeeze that hand, M. Macron! Squeeze it for us, M. Macron!

Merci beaucoup!

[ProudLib72]

55. There is no "like" about it. Rump IS an unruly child

I only wish someone in the WH would do the same!

[Achilleaze]

14. K-k-k-runch!

Does Macron know where that tiny hand has been?

[sarge43]

15. Vive la France.

Did Moron's eyes bug out?

[Grammy23]

19. Maybe not, but I hope Macron squeezed the literal piss

Out of him. Keep a check on trumpolini’s crotch. It will either be damp or there will be the tell tale bulge of the Depend “guard” he’s forced to wear. I might recommend he invest in some Depend underwear to protect against other “accidents”. Like when the arrest warrants are issued for his multiple crimes against the United States. 😳 💩💩 😂😂😂

[sarge43]

22. From your monitor, Grammy ...

It's just been reported Moron won't be going to the US military cemetery, Belleau Wood, because ... wait for it ... it'll be raining.

[Grammy23]

26. He really is a delicate little snowflake, ain't he?

Raining? Evidently he has forgotten that epic photograph of Cheney, bundled up like Nanook of the North, and still shivering like a trembling aspen tree. His lips were blue, but he was at least present and counted. tRumpolini apparently has decided to just dispense with any pretense that he is there for anything other than a few photo ops and to see how many world leaders he can insult. And to think his dumbass base thinks THAT is real leadership. 😵🤨😳

[sarge43]

30. Snowflake? You're too kind, Grammy

He's a chickenshit.

[Dave in VA]

35. You are fucking kidding me!

Those patriots bodies lie there because they gave their lives protecting this orange hemorrhoid's freedom and he fucking can't get wet!

Fuck him and those fucking MAGAts!

[sarge43]

50. I wish I were, Dave

116,708 Americans killed in that horror, 208,002 wounded

This is what some of them endured

[lunatica]

40. It'll melt his spun candy hair if it rains.

[Grasswire2]

51. yes

it was just a few days ago that he complained about having a bad hair day because he stopped to answer some questions.

[MontanaMama]

16. Look at those tiny fingers!

Please nobody retweet this photo. It might embarrass Toady McShitstain.

[47of74]

20. Spanky McToadstool is having a bad week.

[Demovictory9]

17. lol

[book_worm]

18. Such tiny little soft hands Trump has

[elmac]

21. interesting

[pangaia]

23. That's how you do it. Squeeze and break his fucking thumb..

[FakeNoose]

24. He should reciprocate on the Presidential grooming techniques as well

Bro's before ho's. Just sayin'

[3catwoman3]

52. That condescending gesture would have made me...

...want to give him an elbow strike to the nose.

[empedocles]

27. Macron and Trudeau are capable of doing the 'OWNS THE MOMENT' things

Hope they keep it up. Great entertainment for the world's diplomatic corp and other cognoscienti.

[Totally Tunsie]

44. I hope they coordinate their routines!

[Honeycombe8]

32. LOL. Macron has done that before. So I'm sure Trump practiced, but still fell short ..

.fell short of getting the upper hand. Macron's got it goin' on.

[keithbvadu2]

33. Trump Pelosi intimidating handshake

[smirkymonkey]

36. Look at those stubby little digits!

My fingers are longer than his! So glad Macron showed him who's boss.

[OAITW r.2.0]

39. Trump lost the handshake War!

[libdem4life]

41. Now if only Macron could help us get rid of him...

I'm sure he wouldn't be against never having to see the Orangeman again. And take the nude model with him.

[Vinca]

47. Hope Macron received preventive antibiotics after the handshake.

Who knows where that tiny paw has been.

[Totally Tunsie]

48. LOL - When the Defense becomes the Offense...!
