Hello and welcome to the 21st century, where the President of the United States struggles to perform simple actions such as completing a handshake. The man tasked with unifying a nation divided, managing delicate international relations and trying to ban Muslims without explicitly stating he’s banning Muslims has one more thing to add to his list: performing a greeting.
Trump has literally no experience in almost every part of politics, but one would assume he’d have vaguely grasped the concept of a handshake. For President Trump, masculinity lies in the act of a handshake. His pure virility is on show as he wraps his hands around yours and tugs at your every fibre of being. “I Am Man,” his shake seems to say, as you try and unclasp your hands 26 seconds into the exchange, anxious and clammy from this hitherto unforeseen finger jive you’ve just unwillingly performed.
