Wasn't the length of the handshake...but the assertive tug of war Trump played while doing it.

Many times that is seen as a bid to assert dominance or control over someone. The "I'm stronger than you, or I'm running this show."
Yes, it definitely could be construed that way. In reading, found it's apparently well known Trump is a person who prefers to not shake hands, had been quoted as calling it barbaric, so before his campaign probably got away with not doing it. Some sources claim germaphobia, but regardless the reason, this isn't the first instance of this behavior. Saw an article with a few examples of his horrible handshake, pumping back and forth instead of up and down, jerking and twisting people arms into odd positions, and one would think someone would have discussed this with him some time ago because it's considered rude. It may be an awkward display of his own personal discomfort, or some weird power play he does on purpose. Either way, it seems it's a social skill he could use some guidance and training.

I think this/these guys overplayed their hands already with the Godzilla thing.

This is not the same one. There are about 3+ leaking some pretty credible stuff.  This is a group, the other (and yet another) are solo.

Godzilla is not 100% completely discounted sadly. He's commended Harrison Ford in the past for his great job in sticking up for America (in "Air Force One".)

Ford reminded him "it was a movie Donald...a movie"

Let me just say this... Nobody leaked stories like this when Obama was in the office. Sure, some disagreed with what he did but that's about it. The fact is that  this is how Trump is perceived and for a good reason. If it's all make-believe by him and his cronies to hide a more sinister truth, why not make up something that puts him in a better light?

Word from the inside is Trump is a real joy to be around with his temper tantrums and episodes of throwing things...his daughter just as nasty...Kellyanne is a mega bitch that has reduced staff members to tears berating them...and Bannon is even worse.

Nothing worse than unhappy employees. Obama at least knew how to treat people like they were human. A good work environment does wonders for boosting morale.

The only problem is that Flynn lied.  Sure there'll be more propaganda to follow.  That's the trouble.  People watching the news channels that are just 24/7 propaganda channels.

Fatality waits in the wings
Surrounded by fools behind walls that are breached
Beware of the jester that sings"

POTUS is annoyed with Kellyanne. Says she keeps "messing up." Upset that her spin clashes with the now official spin created by Pence.

I am glad Hillary is not President. It would have been like having some horrible necrosis and a doctor coming in each day to inspect and remove some more of you until you die.
Trump? That shit is fun. New day and new scandal. It is a war and very difficult to see who is winning.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

Fun for the rest of the world.

Only fun in a sort of sick way here.

You don't have a Russian spy ship lurking 30 miles off the coast...like we do now in Connecticut.

I wonder if Parts fired up that old shortwave radio. Maybe he's heard some Russian sailor jokes?
