MMA Academy Posts Video On How To Defend The Trumpshake

Just in case you haven't seen it yet, Donald Trump has a very awkward handshake, where he pulls the person into him. And according to a body language expert, the explanation behind the 'Trumpshake' is the same explanation as to why Trump won't hold hands with his wife. It's to seem more 'alpha.'

“For President Trump, it’s all about the assertion of power and control,” body language expert Darren Stanton told The Independent. “Trump is saying ‘this is my space, my time, you are the guest, my house rules apply.”
