My favorite part of the video is that Trump keeps trying to do this stupid fucking power move where he gives a firm handshake and refuses to let go. Newsom was ready for it and Trump had to forcibly pull his hand away.

Edit: Sorry for not being clear. There is a link to a tweet in the article that has the video.

      That’s what happens when you wear giant lifts in your shoes because you’re a little bitch obsessed about your height.

      He does it to try and hide his girthy belly. He thinks it makes him look more powerful. But like everything he does, it just makes him look weak and pathetic.

        Yeah, it’s definitely to make it look like he’s not as fat as he is for cameras only taking pictures of him head on.

        Couldn’t happen to a worse person. Same as Reagan and his alzheimers. Old Nancy throated everyone around to keep Reagan. Don’t think Melanie cares. Elon giving Vance fresh couches everyday I guess.

        I just don’t see any of this. I think he said and done so many horrible things. I think his only interest is in getting attention, regardless of what for, and regardless if his actions harm others and the US. It wouldn’t surprise me if at age 78 he has some medical problems and dementia, but I don’t see these subtle signs in the video.

      I always thought it was because he’s fat, so he leans forward to hide his huge belly. Works pretty well from the front where most pictures of him are taken.

      Judging by the (presumably) vertical structures in the distance, the photo is tilted 4–5 degrees CCW.
