JFK had Addison’s Disease, and was a lot more frail than he looked.

Both, at the same time. He puts the phone in portrait mode and uses the screen like a computer keyboard, but it’s still a bit of a reach for those tiny tiny hands.

Why is Trump meeting with the president of Tajikistan? Rahman is crazy authoritarian dictator who has been in power for 25 years!
Oh…

I’m sure that the caimans would eat the meat-sack.
Do you suppose that he has replacements?

No, he just patches the old one with rubber cement

I used to have trouble with the non-american soft shake, the flat hand one.
I shake so few hands any more, so… problem solved.
I do get the occasional bro-hug.
I don’t like it much.

Throw in a dip, too, to show you can lift their body weight. That’s real dominance.

As with so many situations, the solution to the Trump Handshake is Brazilian Jiu Jiu:
Also: BJJ is useful if you are dragged off a plane:

I’ll try that when licking their nose fails.

I prefer receiving a hearty handclasp.

Give a really limp, floppy armed handshake, then smirk at them for being a dickhead afterwards. The douchebro shake only works if there’s a shared understanding that tuff-dude shit is interesting and a decent foundation for respect.

I’m not an enormous guy, but I am a metalsmith (read as “has blacksmith grip/popeye forearms”).
Usually pretty gentle with handshakes, but if a douche tries to get dominant with a handshake, I can ramp it up to “wow, that’s uncomfortable” and “I’m a bro, I’m not going to cry!” pretty quickly.
Ha! Out douche the douches!
The only thing better than this is when I saw one of my blacksmith friends (who happens to be a rather slim/petite woman) do this to a douchebro. She’s frighteningly strong, and doesn’t look at all bulky.

Heh, you could always lean in and deliver the “European double kiss on the cheeks”. I believe that’s douchebro kryptonite!

In my experience women are, at least pound for pound, generally stronger than men. “Delicate flower” me arse…

The other fun bar game is to get all maybe 110# of her with skinny bird arms to offer to arm wrestle people.
(for a free drink if she wins)
((I’m surprised that she still has a functional liver))

I worry that any given meeting between Trump and a foreign leader will turn into this.
