Minor point, but what’s up with the position of his forefinger where he is shaking hands? I’ve never seen or experienced that. Is it his famous power manipulation grip? Or a secret handshake? ---

Speaking of trump and peace, trump’s name was added to the U.S. Institute of Peace building, after the trump admin dismantled the agency and fired almost all of the staff.

I read he does it to stroke your wrist and make you feel inconfortable while shaking your hand, which works particularly good ~~with~~ against women. It is reported it feels slimy and perverted, particularly when combined with his trademark lecherous ~~slime~~ smile. Sorry I couldn’t find a cite, search engines are flooded with his “power” handshakes ~~with~~ against Macron and Starmer and similarly puerile gestures. He makes so much shit that it becomes difficult to find any concrete example when you look for it. There is simply too much of it. Don’t know whether this is by design or a lucky coincidence. Concerning the prize itself, it is the third time today that I remark on this board that it looks like zombie hands rising from the ground where they are buried to grab and steal the world. Which, come to think of it, is fitting. ---
