President Trump, a 70-Year-Old Man, Still Hasn't Figured Out How to Shake Someone's Hand

Now that we're firmly into Donald Trump's presidency, it's becoming increasingly clear that the president has one huge problem (and it's not the size of his hands). Donald Trump, who is 70-years-old, has not mastered the art of a handshake.

During a press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, as one example, Trump proved once again that he has absolutely no idea how to shake someone's hand. The bizarre interaction — which could be more accurately described as handholding, since it lasted nearly 20 seconds — is not the first time Trump has exhibited his odd technique. He also tortured Kanye, then-Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and Peter Thiel. We've got the receipts ahead.

01

With Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe

Question mark. Repeated.

02

With Peter Thiel

More like a "very special" handshake.

03

With Kanye West

What's this supposed to be? A new technique, perhaps?

04

With Supreme Court Justice Nominee Neil Gorsuch

It's almost as if Trump doesn't want to let go.

05

With Secretary of State Rex Tillerson

Why does he always yank the other person's hand like he's trying to separate their arm from the rest of their body? What's with the hand-patting? Perhaps Trump's form is a misguided alpha power move. We may never have answers.
