3 possible reasons he pulls them in close during the handshake.

  1. Power play. It's like a mini arm wrestling match that they immediately lose.
  2. Old people will pull people in close because they can't hear.
  3. He's inviting him into his space. Before he pulled them in, they were all too far to have an intimate convo.

I've seen all three personally from various people. Why HE does it? Who knows... Thanks for posting. I'd never really seen him do this. Now I get to watch him for it.

I can't argue with you there. It looks like he's spastic but only when he shakes hands. It reminded me of this:

Both ends of a political handshake are usually a power play. When you watch a politician's body language you need to also become aware of the setting. How many cameras are on him? Where are they? Who is behind them?

Standing too close, behind, too far away, these can be seen as demonstrating a weakness compared to the other person. Clasping their hand for too long so that everyone can get multiple photos to cherry pick just the right one [facial expressions of the parties etc].

So keeping a political handshake short, or using the first clasp to help maneuver the two parties relative to one another, is just normal political theater.

Maybe it has to do with not meeting in the middle. If you notice usually when you shake someone's hand it's kind of in synchrony. I believe he's saying that he is in control.

Because he's been replaced by a lizard shapeshifter?
