Trump Tried His Signature Alpha Handshake But King Charles Was Having None Of It
We all know how important it is to Donald Trump that he looks like a big alpha male in front of the world, but there was no way King Charles was ever going to let him dominate proceedings when it came to their handshake during the King’s state visit.
Come for the King, you best not miss…
Some Moron once told Trump that whoever controls the handshake, controls the negotiations.

Nice try, Don. Have you seen Charles’s fingers? No chance you’re getting the best of these champion frankfurters…
As far as Trump is concerned, nothing says “I’m a little b1tch” like a limp handshake, so big up the King for standing his ground. He’s been shaking hands and doing diplomacy while Trump was still a lowly landlord in New York! Who does this guy think he is?!
Obviously a firm handshake is important when you’re President of the United States, but it should at least look natural and not like you’re trying so hard to be the most masculine guy in the room, right?
Charles is in the U.S. for a four-day state visit – the first state visit by a British monarch to the U.S. since 2007.
Bit of a weird time to make it happen given the political temperature, but maybe they’re trying to ease diplomatic tensions after Trump’s clashes with Keir Starmer.
