A moment of zen

A moment of zen

I know you've seen it by now. But I just had to memorialize it on the blog.
Trump has a history of awkward, weird, and cringe-inducing handshakes, such as when he bro-hugged Kanye West at Trump Tower, and when he jerked Judge Neil Gorsuch's arm so hard, he pulled him off-balance. In fact, that wasn't even his first strange handshake with Abe that day; when Abe arrived at the White House, Trump greeted him as he emerged from his car, hugged him, clasped both of Abe's hands, then hugged him again. He also recently pulled the arm-jerking move on Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, who then jerked back, and the the two played tug of war until it looked like they were sawing an imaginary log together. His method with Vice President Mike Pence varies; sometimes he jerks his arm, sometimes he tries to kiss him.
I'm so old I remember when Americans insisted they had to have a regular guy president they'd like to have a beer with. Those same people voted for this freak.
