Funny how Trumpsky didn't try "The Trump Handshake" on Putin.

Hmmm...he didn't try to pull Putin off his chair like he does with everyone else. I wonder why. Gosh...maybe he knows who is boss here.

Now we know it's a sure sign of no respect.

What about the other channels. Did they mention it?

there is a moment when Putin points a finger with his other hand - "look at YOU!"

And maybe that handshake of his is his way of showing "keep your friends close and your enemies CLOSER"...

They actually went there. Video of Trump reaching out and trying to pat Putin on the back, but Putin kept at arms length and wouldn't let it happen. At least they're noticing.
