HAMBURG — A lean in, smiles, a pat on the arm.
This was the first face-to-face encounter of President Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, captured behind the scenes of the Group of 20 summit by the shaky hands of an official German videographer.
As world leaders socialized and made small talk ahead of the first meetings of what is already a contentious summit, it was Trump who approached Putin, who stood with his back against a wooden room divider.

Based on the excerpt, which part was made up?
Putin’s handshake with Trump shows only one thing when compared to all the others. Putin sees Trump as a true peer on the world stage, everyone else gets the same old formality that is expected.
Aha! The assassins of Hillary!
They should have speculated that the pin on Putin’s lapel is actually a Trump Hotel frequent stayer award. Lol
The Donald got a little grabby there.
Doesn’t that limp Chris Cilliza work for the comPost? The fake journalist who posted a two second clip of Trump “not” shaking hands w/Poland’s first lady?
Looks like the media needs to increase their diversity - more fraternity members. I noticed a couple finger movements - the type that would let me identify a college fraternity bother. They missed this but it no doubt was a secret handshake almost imperceivably saying “thanks for winning me the election. “
I may just have imagined the finger movements. But the media loves imagining things and if they had someone with fraternity experience they could have “explosive breaking news” and final proof of collusion and undeniable grounds for impeachment.

It really says a lot about the so-called “news media” that they breathlessly put so much emphasis on a mere handshake....

Imagine if the press ever followed Pres Trump into the mens room, and reported on the significance of how many times he “shaked”...
Donald give Putin the ol mob shake.
To me its in the eyes.
It would not surprise me if they did that...LOL
“The Donald got a little grabby there.”.....
I thought Trump held onto Putin’s arm to insure that Putin wouldn’t fall over meeting such a great man. One can read all they want into a handshake, it means NOTHING but being cordial.
“In video of the meeting, Trump is seen shaking Vlad’s hand rightie-to-rightie, and using his left hand to pat the underside of Putin’s arm.”
Isn’t that a judo counter-move?
“Certainly its a secret collusive handshake.”
