he holds his palm facing the sky. I noticed that today.
If someone did that to me, my brain would short circuit and I'd probably slap his hand, like I was giving him a low 5 or something.
The reason I point this out... this is just one tiny example that the guy is completely off his rocker. The "palm up" gesture does not sound like much of anything...but it is an indication that the guy is either on a huge power trip, or he is insane, or he has never learned how to shake hands.
Probably all 3.
While I'm thinking about this...I have a younger family member who was never taught the importance of a proper hand shake. We stuck our hands out to shake, and he grabbed my fingers and squeezed them. It actually pissed me off, and I told him that I was going to give him a lesson in shaking hands, because his shitty handshake probably contributed to him going on many interviews and not getting the job.
Anyway, getting back to Trump...if I ever had the occasion to shake his hand, and he started jerking me around like a rag doll, I'd squeeze his hand so fucking hard that his fingers would break. Not that I would ever shake his hand of course.
Now, that slime ball has me ruminating over handshakes at one in the morning. He's driving me to insanity.
