Shake, Rattle, and Roll Out Your Firearms
The completion of President Trump’s first overseas tour created many discussions and controversies, but one question follows him wherever he goes, at home or abroad: What is with that handshake? It’s a multi-step gesture that includes a death-grip, a jerk toward him, and a sawing motion. The popular opinion is that the movement is an attempt at establishing dominance. On the other hand, maybe it’s harkening back to one of the theories of the root of the handshake – a way to knock any secret weapons loose from the sleeve of a suspected adversary. Watch this animated presentation of the Trump handshake, created by Sweden-based freelance CGI animator, Anders Ryttar, and maybe you can answer the question for yourself. – Linda Donovan
